Subject: [DNG] So what desktop do you use?
Hi!

As it popped up repeatedly in the KDE thread: Quite some of you use
something different as KDE's Plasma. For various, I am sure, good reasons.

I am curious: What do you use… and why? What are your practical
experiences with what you use? Are there any challenges?

While I have been using KDE based desktops since about two decades for
good reasons, nothing is set in stone. But even in the likely case I keep
using Plasma, I may be learning something interesting. Maybe I learn about
some new application that is really good, or a feature that helps you be
productive and that I may be able to replicate within Plasma.

And even beyond that: I am just curious.

Are you more of a terminal user? More of a GUI user? Do you use both? Are
you using a desktop environment or do you put together your desktop with a
window manager and various little applications, bits and pieces from
different sources?

How do you get your work tasks and leisure time handled on your computers?

I would love this to become more of an open exchange of experiences and
choices than a bashing at what each other uses. So I intent to ask
clarifying questions instead of telling you my desktop is better than
yours all the time :). While it may be for me, I am not the one to make
the decision for you. And I had my fair share of advocating for KDE based
software already :). I may relate to how I do something on Plasma when I
ask how you do it. Just to compare for myself.

Being different means we can learn from each other.

Best,
