I don't use Gnome because I like the minimal desktop experience, and I am not a power user. I have been using LXDE, even though it is officially deprecated. I recently gave LXQT a try, and it seems to have a conflict with LXDE (probably the window manager, since LXDE is GTK and LXQT is qt), because after I tuned it, I couldn't restart LXDE with my main user. I decided to just keep using LXQT as my main desktop. I still use LXDE for other logins / users. My point here is that every desktop requires tuning to make it optimal for a user, and they have the tools to do so. In LXQT they are mostly accessed through preferences -> Appearance (I remember since I used them recently :-) ) I would be very surprised if Gnome doesn't have ways to tune the look and feel of their desktop if both LXDE and LXQT, minimal desktops, do. And I think the same would apply to XFCE, Cinnamon, Mate, and KDE. _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
