Linux Desktop Environments System Usage
KDE and XFCE are my favorites. I could probably daily drive XFCE but with higher resolution (4K) monitors, KDE tends to look a lot better, at least in my experience. I loathe Gnome and don&#x27;t really understand why it has become the default DE on so many platforms.<p>Desktop linux is not being held back by system usage. If anything, we need to stop caring about that for a while and focus on quality of life &#x2F; ergonomics. A unified clipboard (kb shortcuts as well as shared buffer), proper 4k rendering&#x2F;scaling at a nuclear level, etc. This is my biggest gripe with Linux.<p>I would ditch macOS entirely if I could do the following: 1. complete keyboard remapping such that macos keybindings work everywhere (there are hacks for this, but they are hacks), 2. proper 4k rendering (no blurry stuff) with consistent titlebars and ui elements across all applications, 3. the ability to copy and paste text into or out of a terminal without fuss.<p>I don&#x27;t care about X11 vs Wayland.<p>All this considered - and I can&#x27;t believe I am about to say this - Windows 11 is not nearly as bad as I thought it would be and I kinda like it. Might need to go see a doctor I am starting to say funny things.
