I admire Linux kernel, but not satisfied with most DE’s. Currently, I am settled with Budgie on Manjaro. KDE is powerful, but has unsuitable defaults and should have been named Tinker Desktop Environment. OOTH, I feel Windows is more open and customizable than Gnome is.

Xfce and LXQt are great but need serious modernization. The whole Linux GUI world needs modernization and beautification. So, right now, Budgie DE seems like the best of all worlds to me.

Considering Budgie is planning to adopt Qt and that the ex-Solus dev is spearheading in creating a “Modern” distro called Serpent OS, I am truly looking forward to a QtBudgie experience on Serpent OS.

Just a bit of thought as my first post on lemmy!
