KDE Dragonized Edition
KDE Dragonized Gaming Edition
KDE Dragonized Blackarch Edition
Xfce Edition
Gnome Edition
LXQT-Kwin Edition
Wayfire Edition
Qtile Edition
BSPWM Edition
i3 Edition
Sway Edition
Mate Edition
Previous No Longer Supported Edition (such as Deepin) Please leave in Comments.
Barebones Edition (Please tell us which {if any} DE or WM you've installed.)
I can't believe all the customization that's done for us in the Dragonized Gaming Edition. Unbelievable, and most appreciated. Garuda is the best distro hands down. No contest.
I’m actually flattered that you did, except that all the regulars, including me, have already voted in here and will likely miss mine now, and it’s the regulars’ votes that I wanted most. Other than that, this is a great place for it because this poll is what gave me the idea and I had hoped to see this question as I answered your poll, Could we possibly move it back to it’s own thread for a few days or a week so the regulars will see it and answer before merging? Is that even possible? Or would it screw up the vote count and comments? Or maybe there is some other way to let those who have already voted know that there is a new important question? I really am very curious and it’s important to me, anyway.
EDIT: I just noticed your “Revised” title. That might do it. Thank you @tbg . I’m flattered.
If the Garuda team were to investigate this in order to not build any more of the unused or little used ones, I would still see some sense in it.
What does this knowledge bring you?
Do you want to switch to the one which used the most?
LOL. I can already guess which is used the most. Dragonized has been attracting a lot of inexperienced users (watch out Kali). i was more curious which ones the veterans think are great.
No matter the results, I will keep running Dragonized because I make Youtube videos sometimes and I think Dragonized is a wonderful look for that. But One of my favorite games crashes in KDE (and Gnome) so i have to have a 2nd Garuda in dual boot. I’ve been using Xfce for many years And my game works perfectly in Xfce, but it’s very vanilla. I want to test other DEs and WMs to find which ones my game will work in and I trust the “taste” of veterans who have been drawn to Garuda. This would give me some idea what order to try them. I also just want to satisfy my silly curiosity.
EDIT: I really don’t mind that our Xfce is so vanilla. I have much experience customizing my own Xfce. That’s just an excuse. The truth is, after 7 years in Xfce and then trying KDE Dragonized, I can’t help but wonder what else Linux has to offer in it’s different flavors.
Yes, @tbg . The merge was a good idea and I’m honored you thought my poll worthy of a merge. Thank you very much!!
EEEK!! I just noticed I maxed the choices at 2. I meant to make it higher after I got a count of the choices. But 2 is okay…Better than 1. I had accidentally left the Create Poll area and had to make the choices by hand which helped me to overlook the number allowed.
