If you like a mix of old-school with a modern touch, I'd suggest Afterstep:
http://www.afterstep.org/
It's still being maintained and it's cool, but it's only a window manager and
perhaps no well suited for beginners but i think it's awesome.
PD: Afterstep is good-looking by the way.
Yes, that'll give you a full KDE Plasma installation, including several apps
(games, graphical programs, educational programs, etc). You could also just
install kde-plasma-desktop directly (it's a part of kde-full) if you want a
more minimal set of applications to start.
Well, better safe the list of packages you get when installing kde (copy n
paste to an editor).
Just removing the meta package won't do anything.
Thanks! Super helpful! Hmmm, kde-full is the package for the KDE desktop
environment right? If so, will it be listed as one of the sessions beside
gnome-classic at log in?
For extreme customization, I think KDE Plasma is the best choice, and
secondarily LXDE if KDE is too heavy. Xfce is another choice to look at; I
think it's marginally more configurable than LXDE, but much more
advanced/involved.
If you're worried about redundancy (it's really not that big o
If you are using any DE based on gnome you'll find everythig on
gnome-look.org.
Don't worry but try it out. If all goes horribly wrong, you can always
reinstall! :)
I'd like to make my DE look awesome as much as possible, of course without
losing or even better, better performace than now.
Hmm, I'm thinking of getting KDE but worried that I'll probably get redundant
packages and icons. It will probably mess up my DE. Got solutions?
Start with:
1) What Desktop I want ?
GNOME Classic, GNOME-Shell, KDE, Xfce, LXDE et.c etc.
2) Do I really want a Desktop ?
WindowMaker, Fvwm, ratpoison, stumpwm, Compiz, Blackbok, Fluxbox
3) Do I want virtual window Manager or Tiling or Stacking ?
This is also one of the main reasons why I switched to Trisquel from Windows
8 or why I switched to Free Software from non-free. I'd like to do something
really cool with it, like the Jarvis desktop theme in Windows 7 or the
rainmeter theme that also works with Windows 7.
