2020 Poll - Which Desktop Environment uses Gentoo users ?

[Adrien.D]

Hello,

Since Gentoo + GNOME without OpenRC is available, i would like if there are a lot of people which uses GNOME on OpenRC.

I start this poll to know about Usages of Desktop Environment on Gentoo !

Thanks for all !

I prefer using the i3 window manager, but I also like the KDE Plasma desktop environment.

I use bspwm. I would never use Gentoo with KDE or GNOME, Firefox + LO is more than enough for me.

Using XFCE with OpenRC for the most part. But out of curiosity i've just set up Gnome with systemd on a testing computer and i am mostly surprised about evolution. The handling of Caldav / Carddav and Email is really good and something i am missing on XFCE.

KDE with OpenRC.

While I use xfce4+openrc I barely feel like I'm using it as a DE. Only xfce4 packages I have installed is xfwm4+terminal+panel+embed-plugin+dependencies (no thunar, no sessions, not even xfdesktop since I don't use desktop icons and just use feh to set the background).

I do like that xfce4 let me get rid of bigger unwanted components while it'd be a headache with many other DEs. I may move away from xfce4 and go for a more independent window manager eventually, but can't be bothered to change a few things right now

I did use gentoo with kde... never again. It added loads and loads of packages I never really used. Recently switched to i3-gaps and I'm quite liking it.

Still some things to do, though. Like considering whether polybar is a good idea or not (i3status does its job) and installing rofi.

openbox, picom, tint2, xbindkeys, rofi. Gives me 90% of a DE at 5% the weight.

[depontius]

OpenRC, sddm, and icewm. Starting to think about wayland, can someone comment about a lightweight compositor, somewhat icewm-like?

Windowmaker. Ultra-responsive, ultra-reliable, ridiculously easy to configure the way I want it and uses next to nothing by way of system resources whilst remaining aesthetically pleasing.

[The Main Man]

dwm, there's nothing better

[Irre]

icewm

[henkkus]

I use i3-gaps. Used to use KDE + openRC, but it was too slow on my laptop.

[dmpogo]

KDE + Openrc

though KDE I essentially use as a window manager, not much beyond few workspaces and panel with few widgets below. Don't use icons on desktop surface,
any pim packages.

[CaptainBlood]

Multiple select not possible:
OpenRC + {Gnome, LXDE+Openbox, Sway}

[sdauth]

Xfce, as usual. With OpenRC of course

[Makersmarx]

bspwm for me, KDE is nice, but I tend to overwhelm myself with options when playing with that DE.
