          Guacamole or the script?

            Sorry, just Guacamole. Haven't looked at the script.

              Gnome3 is my favorite. I'm also becoming a fan of i3 Window Manager although it's not a full desktop environment.

                using Guacamole myself, if you are opening to the internet, don't forget to configure fail2ban to block after certain amount of logins, otherwise you will have people trying to brute force every minute.....

                    Damn rookies, real men use fluxbox, or window maker. And if you're really hardcore, then ratpoison is a must, kill the rodent!

                        I still like a good, classic XFCE.

                              LXDE -> Currently more stable
                              LXQT -> Will be the successor

                              Minimal and gets the job done like its bigger brothers, but you have to use the terminal or edit some config files (create start up item / auto login) every now and then, but that is fine by me.

                              Perfect for customization as well.

                                I've usually used xfce, though since they're slow moving things to GTK I might take a look at Budgie or MATE.

                                  LXQT is already pretty far along. I'd normally go ahead and deploy that today.

                                    I'm still searching for that "perfect" desktop environment for me. Or as close to it as I can get. I love variety, which makes it harder to settle on one.

                                    Part of me really wants to use Solus, the part that used to use BeOS. I think I'm going to convert my desktop machine to Deepin and try running it as my main work machine for a bit and get a feel for it.

                                      iOS. It really makes more sense thatn anything else, with smart keyboard and shortcuts. I've never seen it crash or slowdown, ever. It is very minimalistic.

                                      Regarding Linux, I really like both i3 and (I know it's strange) KDE 5 with tiling plugins.

                                        I'm really warming to Deepin, such a nice distro..

                                          I'm loving the font rendering on it.

                                            I've seen as much or more iOS slowdowns or crashes than Linux desktops. But I probably use iOS more, so that is clearly a factor. And, obviously, my Linux hardware has dramatically more power than my iOS hardware, so I expect iOS to slow down more if doing anything of any serious nature.

                                            One key thing I see with iOS, even on really powerful hardware, is huge slowdowns that cause apps to stall and be unable to scroll for 30 seconds or more while the system appears to "catch up". I never see this on my powerful Linux desktop and it can create some huge delays in trying to work from iOS.
