So a few months back I asked about you guys os in c/asklemmy, so this time I wanna ask about your desktops you use on this same account.
(I use kde but plan to move to cinnamon I find kde buggy and gnome tracker3 randomly broke for no reason + themeing so yh idk if these happened to anybody)

    I'm not a Gnome user but I stopped minimizing my windows years ago. Don't need that if you (a) don't have icons on your desktop and (b) move your windows over to another workspace when stuff gets crowded.

    That's like saying I don't need to clean my room if I can just shove everything into the closet

    Minimizing applications feels like a Windows workflow because it doesn't have decent workspaces like most Linux DEs. I never feel the need to minimize a window on Linux because I can arrange everything nicely in workspaces.

    I found some negative press about cosmic which can be valid or not.

    Repeating my other reply verbatim as you just did the same:

    First, to be clear, this isn't so much "press" as a blog entry. Second, there are only so many mentions of "rust cultists" and "my rust" I can read in a blog before losing interest.
