It’s more like, the distro is the actual “under the hood” OS and the DE is the looks and user interaction.
Fonzie!

I would say XFCE and Cinnamon; no two XFCE’s look alike and Cinnamon can easily be molded into something very different as well.
I see a lot of people recommending KDE and Gnome; I’ve found those surprisingly rigid, although there are more guides on how to “rice” KDE into the most non-KDE things so there’s that.
2·4 days agoAh I guess that makes more sense!
Now if it was Debian with the Gnome DE vs Ubuntu, that would’ve been ironic!
I never had good luck making hardware work right with ubuntu Debian, […] always worked way better out of the box on bare metal
Oh the irony!
I’ve been running Mint on my Dell XPS 9370 (methinks) for years and it’s always worked just fine. Only the fingerprint scanner just won’t work, not even with
fprintd; it can set up a finger but never to use that same finger afterwards.
I love the customisability of KDE
I read this often but found KDE so difficult to customise. XFCE or Cinnamon is what I’d consider extremely customisable, KDE doesn’t even consistently listen to what theme colour I set :-(
Calm down, he isn’t the sole regent of the kernel, you know.
That’s really, really out of character for Apple.
But then, so was releasing seriously powerful computers.
Maybe that’s cause FLAC encodes audio instead.
It’s really just atomic Fedora […]*
Ah, I do use Mint on my dev laptop but Bazzite on my gaming PC, each has their own usage.
It’s really just Fedora with different defaults, pre-installed software (mostly for Steam, MangoHUD, etc.) and a welcome-screen that helps you set up different software.
There’s an atomic Fedora spin made for gaming, Bazzite, and the experience has been to install, and just go. Everything works, everything is set up for gaming and performance monitoring, it’s actually baffling how good this is!
I realise I’ sounding like a shill, but genuinely it’s great and seems to be what you’re looking for. You can always just try it in a VM!
Pure cannabis oil?
Yeah, p forbidden.
6·13 days agoUnironically the place I last worked at
“Our 20-employee company made over € 8 million profit last year!”
I ask for a raise because I’m underpaid for the work I deliver.
“Ahh noooo see there is no more money for thag…”Needless to say I quit. Citing them this as one of the reasons.
Just to surprise your dear mom when she comes over 😉
Such is niche a subreddit’s fate.
I can recommend Germany and Netherlands!
I live in NL myself, even though we have complaints (high taxes, delayed trains) I don’t think they’re nearly as serious as I hear from other countries (like US trans people getting declined public services, people living in fear of being deported or killed)
Although we don’t really have affordable housing, I would say that’s a fairly big issue.
The PPP in Germany tends to be a bit better (slightly lower wages, but even lower grocery prices and rent prices), and overall it seems people follow rules and order a good deal better.
Overall, both are good countries to live in IMO. I can’t speak for the UK, though.
Why did you have to say you want to be balls deep in the UK, Netherlands or Germany though…?
You can just turn nsfw off in your profile, no?
