Personally I like xfce, with Cinnamon coming in second. FluxBox is my least favorite. What's yours?

Why'd you leave Terminal out? :huh:

I roll with sigs off so I have no idea what you're advertising.

 

This is NOT the signature you are looking for.

I like Pantheon, but seeing it's not listed I'll vote OpenBox seeing is #! is my second favourite distro.

Why would you subject yourself to that?

Currently using Cinnamon, but the recent kernel update for Arch seems to have slowed it down - takes an extra 10 seconds for the entire desktop to load after login. Thinking of switching out of it, probably to XFCE or something else.

Its what is on all my Linux machines, can't live without it.

I'm using XFCE4... but i have to say, gnome 3.12 is looking good.

Signatures are stupid.

I voted other, but technically it is Gnome, in a way. I generally use MATE (Basically Gnome 2 in a usability manner of speaking).

i3. Perfect use of screen space and no need for a mouse.

Gnome.

Back in my teenage years I always used to think Fluxbox was a game - see how long you could last before committing self harm.

Used to use XFCE a lot on extremely low end builds but it has bloated out a lot recently, and doesn't work as well so Fluxbox and Blackbox are my only real choices.

Decided to switch to using i3 after a brief stint with XFCE. Since my laptop has a lower resolution, I'm running it in tabbed mode, which seems to work fine.
