My favorite would probably have to be Gnome. Though I still am looking for other DEs. I want something modern and aesthetic, easy to use ( search bar feature) and lightweight. I am currently running Solus Gnome. Any suggestions?


My two favorite desktops are Cinnamon and KDE. I like Cinnamon because I like the Windows-type layout that  I am the most familiar with, yet it's still has customization options like KDE does, although not quite as many. KDE is my other favorite simply because I love the modern and clean aesthetic to it.

Agree with you. I'm just changed from Feren OS to Linux Mint recently and have good feels on both distro.


KDE is an incredible desktop environment, no doubt about that. I use Cinnamon, personally. It is very simple to use and looks great! (especially on Manjaro, which I'm using)


I use Elementary OS' Pantheon DE, it's really gorgeous and simple, although sometimes it feels kinda buggy.<br>I'm planning to switch to Manjaro KDE soon. :p

Wait are you a girl that uses Linux and is a nerd like me too? Damn I want a gf like that.

im using elementary hera at the moment, just switched from windows about 2 weeks ago. and maan it feels so good


IT IS SO INCREDIBLY LIGHT AND CUSTOMIZABLE<br>And gnome isn't bad, it is just targeted to the people who want a simple and clean desktop

Currently using Debian with plasma desktop , and I customised it to look like this
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uyz4-KZOzyI
Idle ram use is always less than 2 gb and boot time is less than 15 sec ( can be reduced still).
Gotta love customizability of plasma and stability of debian


I like xfce mostly just because it's lightweight but may look into kde more. Would love to get a working tiling manager but oof I've had troubles in the past. User error I'm sure.


Gotta love Elementary with a KDE mouse, Adapta theme, and Papirus dock and icons


Xfce, for lightweight, not performance intensive, yet still quite customizable environment.


I use KDE neon and Man it turned a Computer that only lasted 3 hours with Linux Mint to 4 hours. To me that's Cool oh and Windows used to last for about 1:30 or 2 hours if I'm using battery saver. If you're wondering why my battery last less it's because I use IntelliJ and Run a Sever in the Background while working also Working on VS code and Figma. Ohh  yeah plus Firefox.


hey crypto enjoyed the video I was hoping if you can make a video a long one like the firefoxsetup for maximum security but one like a journey of a white hat hacker where to start where   and how things go from the starting point ?       enjoyed the video love the consistency.


Just two days ago I got KALI Live on my pendrive, installed KDE and I love it (this is one of my first contacts owith linux)


I use Linux and KDE on most of my devices, I main Arch Linux


think kde base is still way heavier than xfce in size ,although kde uses very low resources, almost close to xfce.
(might be wrong about the second one coz i haven't used xfce recently but it had like a 80 gig difference in ram usage when i last used it.)
❤ kde project :p

@Nuno Cardoso thats true
32bit manjaro xfce distros are like that too. but i was talking about package size not ram.
like xfce js less than 100 mb in size (40-50 mb for minimal) whereas even minimal kde is 100-200 mb


Mine too i use it in parrot sec.
I like those animations.
Can you make vids how to customize kde

The easiest way to customize your KDE is going to System Settings, you will get all of options to customize in your way.


Mine is Unity. It different enough to feel fresh but also familiar enough to not have to relearn everything


ITSS also kde its super lgihtweightand only uses 530+mb  my ram when opening it. and its also SUPER CUSTOMIZABLE and you can make a superb desktop layout in your ownliking


Just nice a simple i3wm with a minimal bar tweaking.


Just yesterday I've downloaded KDE Plasma on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS... It's just beautiful ❤🤩


I have had nothing but bad luck running KDE Plasma on my GTX 970.

I'd personally avoid Plasma if you use Nvidia cards.

I would personally avoid nvidia cards if you run linux.


Also Windows is very customizable too! You dont NEED to switch from your perfect Windows7 or Windows10 2004


To anyone working on CompTIA certs. I have cracked the code on how to study and pass. The key is to NOT rely on the book! Read the topics but then take keywords/phrases and then do a quick YouTube/google search to get a massively more in-depth description. This is important cuz CompTIA exams only about half the questions actually are in the book. The other half they somehow expect you to have more in-depth knowledge on certain topics. I’m only 1/3 through the Net+ book n CompTIA certmasters have me at 75% starting knowledge vs 48% everyone else average. N it’s cuz of this process I know it💪🏻💪🏻


cinnamon. I like the simplicity and how lightweight (arguably) it is.


i love ubuntu specialy with the new 20.4 update


i currently use gnome in my arch linux machine since kde took forever to download on 15mbps plan we chose and it sometimes randomly freezes

thats probably the fault of baloo uninstall it and install the superiour tracker


do you use a virtual machine? and if you do what’s good specs if your gonna use one

Crypto The Llama ok thanks i’ll be on the lookout

Ill post a video on specs for Linux laptops, I already made it. I don't use a virtual machine, I install direct to the computer. I'll make a Linux vm video in long form before too long too. But for VMs it's doable to run a Linux vm on windows Virtualbox with a i5 and 8gb ram.


I've tried to move from windows it's actually impossible I swear


I used everything gnome just works the best for me personally


I LOVE parrot OS, it’s WAY better than Kali in my opinion


3 minutes ago. wow.

Never knew KDE was as lightweight as XFCE.

It wasn't, I recall it being really heavy and maybe slightly buggy. Probably an update

It wasn't until around a year ago I think! <br>They had a big optimization update that cut it down dramatically!

“KDE is lightweight” I’ll pretend I didn’t heard that.


gnome abit resource hungry de but gets the job done😁

Yeah. GNOME is just very polished, clean and easy, although it was pretty like a resource hunger. I have used Solus GNOME live and have good feel with it. Although my computer was pretty hot when run it :D


I love parrot Os<br>Currently LinuxFx(WindowsFx)

KDE looks amazing and customization is almost limitless but it’s too unstable for a daily. It reminds me of the days I used to jailbreak my iPhone, omg look at what it can do, but then texts stop working.


Kde or Xfce - I switch from time to time


Pop!_OS Gnome (with tiling window feature)


dude doesn't even use tiling/dynamic wms, what kind if hacker are you if you use DE?


I personally like how the user interface und folder structure works in windows, but i wished windows were as lightweight as a fresh linux system.

It seems like you cant crop windows without heavy compromises.
The KDE themes I've seen only resemble windows on a surface level.

So it is probybly only an option for a secondary or slow machine you wouldn't do much on except like browse or write.

Haven't tried it myself yet, but if you're okay with missing many microsoft features but still want to stick to windows, I'd give the AME project a peek!

It's a set of instructions (and one prebuilt iso) to remove a lot of the privacy stuff from Windows, thus making it much snappier

LTT has a video talking about it, "we fixed windows" I think was the title, uploaded a few days ago

in KDE you can install a global theme that looks just like windows :+) looks the same


Crypto, Parrot KDE or Parrot MATE ? Suggestion for beginner who wants to start her journey in cybersec

Choose the DE like you want. The DE doesn't affect much how you use the distro. It just affect how the distro looks.


I just installed Kali linux 2020.03 and I switched from  default to gnome I think gnome is easy and looks better


I love and want to use KDE Plasma but my pc freezes up whenever I get a notification


What do you think about thelatest ubuntu distro out


I like working with deepin linux on my laptop


I dont use des but gnome seems to be the only one that doesnt look like a chinese copy


Whats your laptop? It seems to be light weight, and I like that.


its MAH-TÉ not mate (accdg to ExplainingComputers) since it is inspired by a Spanish drink.


I dont have a favourite one but my most hated one is no doubt GNOME


Using pantheon together with a custom greater


I use cinnamon, qt things in KDE scares me I have lots of themes on cinnamon and they'll simply not gonna work on KDE


kde for parrot os security has error should i download it


i love awesomewm (I know, it s a window manager, not a desktop lol)


How do you get Kali or parrot on a usb stick or external HDD I know I sound pretty dumb but I had Kali on a virtual box bit I had to delete it for space but now I want it on a usb stick as my actual os

Parrot OS is Live USB by default. No need for specific procedure. You can install on computer using that same USB.

Wait heck, you may actually need a different tool if you want to actually boot from the usb as the OS entirely

Not 100% sure if kali's live iso is a "flash and you're good" or if it's an installer
(If it is, Etcher would be fine tho)


bspwm even though its just a window manager


I skipped to last to just listen "crypto out"


Checked another vid of his, if it's the same one, it's the X390


What happened bro past two days you don't upload any videos


Linux is so bad Microsoft Windows Xp and NT 6.0 and 10 and 7 and 8 is so good and Linux and apple is so bad and android is so cool


I don't want to be that guy but, I love Gnome with a passion

The multitasking bits are my favorite feature(s), being able to press the win/super key and have everything pop up? Love it!

I really wish other, lighter desktops had the same multitasking features. I have powerful-ish hardware so gnome hasn't been too slow for me so far thankfully, but I'd love to move to/try KDE again if it had that one feature

@夕阳 oh heck, do you know of a video/where that setting is?

thing about kde is you can change it to be exactly like that

I prefer Unity version of Gnome in Ubuntu

@Andrés Paredes It is! Gnome in the last year even has come a long ways.  it's so nice on PopOS

Gnome has gotten pretty amazing tbh. I really like it a lot when using Pop OS!


Sorry to hear that hope you get well soon ✌🏻

@Crypto The Llama hope you can get better quickly

I been sick. Made a video yesterday but didn't get to post it. Throat been so sore I can hardly talk haha.
