Melhor Desktop Environment

tokico Escreveu:

racoq Escreveu:Gnome claro, simplicidade e não mete demasiadas configurações À frente do utilizadores como outros (Cough** KDE 3.X , Cough**, Cough**).Mas estamos a falar de desktop environments, nao Window Managers, acho que deverias se possivel refaser o titulo do topico, ora vejamos:

Desktop Enviroments (DE)
Gnome
XFCE
KDE
FluxBux
etc...

Window Manager (WM)
Metacity
Compiz
Beryl
xfcwm4
etc...

Por acaso, de acordo com http://xwinman.org/ , Window Manager é o Fluxbox, o XFCE, etc... e Desktop Enviroment é o Gnome e o KDE.
Agora já não sei em quem acreditar!

Para acabar com as dúvidas:

Citar:Simply put, a desktop environment in Linux is, well, what "Windows" is to Windows. It's the coordinated interface that is your desktop. It's a complete package of graphical applications that sits on your X (graphical) server which in turn sits on an imposing, cold, command line. Linux desktop environments (such as GNOME and KDE) are robust (window manager fans may go so far as to say "bloated") series of applications designed to work together. GNOME is based on the GTK+ toolkit, and KDE is based on Qt.

Citar:A window manager is a seemingly simple concept. It's a graphical interface that simply (are you sitting down for this?) manages windows. Most window managers, to the new Linux user, look exceedingly sparse. There are no recognizable panels, and often times no taskbars or visible menus. There may be a few mysterious applets associated with the window manager. It may not be readily apparent how to move or resize windows.
