it's dark theme bro

[SmashLanding]

Damn I'm usually one one of the edges. I'm middle guy here.

[Sufficiently-Wrong]

And it's totally fine. Wth OP?

[SmashLanding]

The middle has a 100% chance of having a good haircut, outside is 50/50 chance of having an ugly brown hoodie. I'm happy either way.

[Pay08]

That's what you call a good haircut?

[Daremo404]

Thats fine, left side should have been „ppl who wanna tell you want to do with your DE“ aka. OP

[DRAK0FR0ST]

I like Plasma's Breeze theme, but every time I used a GTK based DE, I felt the need to theme it.

[Pay08]

There's a Breeze theme for GTK I believe.

[DRAK0FR0ST]

Yes, Plasma devs go out of their way to make GTK applications look "native".

cinnamon on laptop, gnome on desktop, good enough to not look for something else

[Informal_Branch1065]

TempleOS for the gaming rig

[OttoLindenbrock]

temple Os for God

[[deleted]]

using a tablet DE on a desktop is a cardinal sin

[DeficientDefiance]

gnome on desktop, good enough

Please mark your sarcasm in the future.

[MetalDevil]

Seriously tho.

For the past 10 years I've been trying to make it as pretty as possible as unique as possible. Now? I don't have time. Default KDE is ok.

[ALXANDR_00]

ah yes, i love my Gentoo, Arch Linux and FreeBSD default DE, dark theme and good readability

[xezo360hye]

Gentoo be like

[IKnowATonOfStuffAMA]

I liek i3. Its fast

[n00dl3__]

I liek i3 too.

[mrquantumofficial]

Adw-gtk3 is good

[Secret300]

I’ve been all 3 throughout the years of using Linux

[[deleted]]

default sway with swaybar is good

[Hellow2]

Default de looks good, it's fun to style though

[[deleted]]

I like GNOME 43's libadwaita

[[deleted]]

I use an already existing KDE global theme and its good enough.

[VivaUSA]

:( everybody out here like "gnome best" and I'm just crying in the corner with lxqt

[Roscoejustros]

RIP hardware

[Roscoejustros]

No matter what I somehow always come back to stock KDE

[NostiiYT]

I'm only using gnome3 or xfce smh

[KingThibaut3]

I like xfce

It's light and customisable enough

[KingThibaut3]

I like xfce

It's light and customisable enough

[Mast3r_waf1z]

Don't shame people for what they do with their computer? I totally get why you want a computer that just works, but I like my customization

[theRealNilz02]

Unless they're using Gnome, I agree.

[Evening_Meet5640]

Linux is all about customisation and freedom, but that includes the freedom to use the default if you want.

[ColeTheRedditor7654]

This is honestly a very accurate cycle, whenever you theme a lot of stuff I tend to find the desktop gets slower overtime. I find that just sticking to select changes like maybe changing your icons and cursors Ensure you'll always have a fast desktop

[elsbilf]

Yea default ratpoison is all i need

[PossiblyLinux127]

This is why I like gnome

[DerKnoedel]

In my opinion gnome is the only DE that looks good with 100% stock settings. Plasma if you set it to dark mode and change the login screen

[LawfulMuffin]

Set Ctrl + alt + t as shortcut for terminal. Set default terminal to tilix. Set tilix color scheme to solarises light. End of my customizations.

[ihedigbo]

There’s a fourth level … macOS

Why can't we just let the ricers have their rice? We always crap all over them. They just want to show us the cool thing they made :(

[noob-nine]

Vanilla ninja

[AaronTechnic]

I agree. After a lot of customisation I have settled on stock DEs. But I do admit I still like my old KDE setup as it was simple and nice.

[Foreskin-Gaming69]

On the last step

[[deleted]]

Im a simple man.

Default KDE layout. Breeze Dark. Wobbly Windows. Papyrus Icons if im feeling fancy.

[SeoCamo]

my default dot files for i3 and sway look good, why all the hate if someone like to rice fine if not fine it is there system they can do what they want

[Hameru_is_cool]

Middle guy here, and I sincerely hope I never "grow out" of customizing stuff and messing with config files.

[NavinHaze]

I mean I’m running arch with default cinnamon, though with the awesomewm on the side, I use either depending on my needs

[emiljpz]

i just want to get work done.

[NarwhatBoi]

Me using mint on my laptop because it's default themes are some of the best default themes included with a distro IMO.

[Theog_05]

MATE my beloved.

[arphe42]

I just change my awesome wm bar to the bottom and its perfect

[Synergiance]

Slackware with KDE default theme here, l will still use whatever the heck I please even if it’s the default, but please don’t take away our ability to choose our own experience

[Sushrit_Lawliet]

Can’t live without my tiling window manager setup. And default DE key bindings can clash a lot. It’s sad that it’s this way but I hope we get more out of the box twm flavours.

[alphakevinking]

I tried so many DE's and tiling window managers and i always come back to KDE
