Been using Linux since x-windows. I'm not some uber-admin-user, but I can get around. I've done mate, cinnamon, gnome, kde, etc. and they are cool but xfce is just hands-down the best desktop environment. I'm on mint as they load non-os drivers and sw without too much fuss.

Every once in a while, I'll get a bug up my butt and switch desktop managers, Some of them I would kind of like if they made small changes to them. Some of them like Gnome, I hate!
We've all sort of relented to systemd. It's gay and retarded. I wish I was smart enough to avoid it. Before systemd Linux was way more stable, simple, smaller and faster.
So True! I'm glad we don't exist in a solely Winduh's world anymore!
Of course there are other OS's out there. Pity that OS/2 didn't become more popular & mainstream. BSD still has a loyal following, Unix, not sure how that might have developed in the absence of LINUX.
He knocks Pop_OS, even though it does the same thing as Tuxedo... but "the dekstop is outdated" and "they haven't updated the experience in two years."
Maybe I'm crazy, but I actually prefer my PC to be useful, so I don't need a new "experience" every year where I have to learn where shit got moved to or what got broken. Stability in the desktop "experience" is a GOOD THING.
