Linux Desktop shootout

[salvorhardin]

On the heels of the 'How many icons on your desktop poll' comes the great Linux desktop environment shootout. I'm just looking for everyone's favorite environment, not their favorite window manager, although often it's one and the same.

1. KDE? why?

Gnome has all the cool screensavers and doodads :beer:

3. So does KDE

it's called XScreensaver. Not really a part of the windowing environment.

2. Fluxbox

Fast, light and configurable. Nothing else comes close.

4. Fluxbox is nice

I like it a lot, but isn't exactly a windowing environment. :-)

5. Well flux running GDM

So I guess you could through me in with the Gnome crowd. I like the Gnome DM more than the KDE - I get a faster response from it

6. Where's the CLI option? n/t

7. I guess that'd be under 'Other'

:-)

If I could still edit the poll, I'd add screen and midnight commander because I guess they're both about as close as you get to window environments on the command line.
