@nerthos loldesktopiconscleaning GNOME3 doesn't even support desktop icons. #whyamiusingthisjunk

@jla gnome-tweak-tool was the first thing I installed, along with alternative status menu. Geez, how can people use the default GNOME3? It's almost as unusable as Windows 8 =/

@omni Why are you even using it xD
Thursday, 26-Jul-12 19:40:56 UTC from web-
@nerthos Because it looks pretty. If I want to have my system to be actually really efficient I'll move back to awesome (http://awesome.naquadah.org/images/screen.png), but currently I just want my system to be pretty.

@omni That thing you just linked is hideous.
Thursday, 26-Jul-12 19:43:09 UTC from web-
@nerthos Hideous, yes, but extremely efficient on both system resources and window management. Using that, I could get my system to run with all software I use without ever going over 512MB of RAM. (Roughly 20MB while not running any software)
Thursday, 26-Jul-12 19:44:48 UTC from web-
@omni For me, running everything on 512MB of RAM would be wasting money. I bought 8GB, I want to use them.
Thursday, 26-Jul-12 19:46:54 UTC from web-
@nerthos I only have 2GB. But hey, why not run multiple desktop environments at the same time? GNOME3 uses about 512MB, KDE4 around 768MB, Unity around 512MB as well. If you know your way around you can easily get your system to use 6GB while you're doing absolutely nothing. Yay anti-optimising!

@omni I honestly have no use for mustiple desktops. Since 2007 I was able to run that, never bothered.
Thursday, 26-Jul-12 19:49:19 UTC from web-
@nerthos Desktop environments, not desktops. (Though most desktop environments already give you multiple "virtual desktops"). Hard to explain, I guess, because I suck at explaining :P
Thursday, 26-Jul-12 19:51:34 UTC from web-
@omni And I suck at English. We shouldn't confuse eachother any more

@nerthos At any rate, what else should I use? KDE4 looks like Windows (http://www.kde.org/announcements/4.3/images/kde430-desktop.png) and Unity is, well, Unity (https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/0/06/Unity_5.12_on_Ubuntu_12.04.png). Others don't look that good to me :(

@omni I know nothing about customizing Linux.
Thursday, 26-Jul-12 19:47:54 UTC from web-
@nerthos It takes one command to install a desktop environment, and you can just choose which one you want to boot into on your login screen. So yeah, if you can wait the 5 minutes it takes to download all the files it's a quick way to completely transform your whole system :P I switch at times just for fun :P

@omni The only thing that could be useful to me would be a winXP partition. But I'm not in the mood to set that up now.

@omni Because it's bothersome to copy files from the virtual machine to the disk and the other way around.

@omni It's easier to just copy my WinXP disk to a partition and run it. Or buy a PCI IDE card.

@omni I remember Linus saying he had had enough of fixing GNOME 3 with extensions, but he thinks other DE's are even worse.
