        ive used it semi-recently on a VM and dont think it changed that much. i like that it seems to be lighweight and not much more.

        what do you generally like about it?

            its not bad per se, i feel like it lacks attention to detail and more ux people on the team.

            dialogues and DE utilities look inconsistent to eachother. spacing and sizes of things, including icons and fonts look not that well tought out, making the whole thing feel off, kind of cheap or amateurish.

            this might have changed since i gave it a real try but it lacks many small qol features like disabling some indicators i dont use and other assorted small stuff many othet des implement.

            i find this type of stuff is common among smaller des

                I settled for vanilla Ubuntu many centuries ago and liked it enough to stick with it. Been feeling like trying other stuff again just to see how things have been developing, hence my interest. Get that slightly greener grass under my feet for a lil bit.

                So long as its something reasonably mature that won’t get in my way. I’m inclined to try Budgie again. Plasma 6, Cosmic and a couple of others are looking nice too.
