@aki237 what do you mean?
-
@jeanlucami I don't want the latest versions, just to have a stable system
-
@aki237 why would I do that? I don't see the point
-
@aki237 hey it's not about trying, it's about using it at school, to develop everyday. It's when I tried Manjaro that I needed some tools it was a mess to install for example.
Here I'm looking for an everyday distro as a C/C++ dev with stable tools easy to install. Ubuntu-like distros have all the tools I need sooo that's why I asked which DE I should install, not distro :p -
@AndSoWeCode I'm very curious because I see a lot of developers praying Linux Mint then I want to give it a try

Latest version of kde plasma is very stable and lightweight. And there are videos there that show you how to make it look like elementary/Mac or windows or unity or however you want. It is very customizable. A bit of a pain to set up but once it is all set up it feels very polished and the eye candy isn't bad or resource intensive either.
That moment after you do a fresh install of an OS and think "Wow everything is so fast and so much space"
Should be studying but my linux is not going to beautify itself
After a year using ElementaryOS, I'm planning to switch to another distribution.
I'm planning to go on Linux Mint (I need a stable machine with all the tools I need easily installable)
Now, I have to choose between KDE and XFCE. I've used KDE a little but I didn't get the point of all those widgets but I'm still open-minded. I've used a pure version of XFCE that was shitty-looking but was good at use.
Can you give me your opinion on both Desktop Environment?

distro
mint
