oh my god i had NO IDEA windows could break!!
(not actual tech support, just linux shitposting lol)
(no hate to Windows users though, Windows is a perfectly valid choice for many people <3)
The fact that you're calling it a DE suggests that you're probably already familiar with the alternatives... but I'll bite anyway!
I love the i3 window manager with rofi launcher, because tiling windows and keyboard-centric controls are awesome.
But I've mostly been using gnome and kde plasma (tweaked to look like gnome). I would suggest gnome for its simplicity and beauty, but wkth KDE plasma you can really customize the living hell out of your de.
Smh do you really use a desktop environment like a freaking normie? Oh lemme guess, you don't even use vim. You're not a true Linux user unless you get rid of every single GUI on your machine, terminals work just fine.
Understood. Removed everything including GUI, trackpad, keyboard, battery. I also downloaded ram. Laptop is super fast now.
There is Cairo. And if you are on older Windows, like 7 - XP, there is SharpEnviro.
