Having Trouble Connecting to NTG Lab with X2GO
-
I used to use XFCE a lot, but the interface is just too lean for me. LXDE for me now when I need something lean and Cinnamon when I want a full desktop replacement. I find KDE just enough confusing and too "heavy" to learn to bother.

Yeah, KDE isn't my favorite, but everyone here was able to use it without having to retrain them, so it's what we went with. I was very glad I stuck to the "universal" desktop environments when making recommendations tho, makes life so much easier.

LXDE, XFE, Mate or any of the other desktop systems that don't have to deal with hardware rendering should work relatively well.
Ya those work really well. XFCE is fast, just annoying to use so I don't really use it.
XFCE/LXDE are my go-to desktop environments when I decide I want one. I've got the Linux computers around here running KDE because it's what everyone said they liked when I showed them different desktop options. I really like standard desktop environments in Linux. I can move people between Fedora, Mint, Debian, etc, and because they all have KDE, the user settings are all the same. Mount /home and go.
Gnome 3 is my current standard. I have a default set up of extensions that I love and has really helped my productivity. However, after testing i3, I may be switching.

I hate that the Super (Windows) key is only a modifier. It's much easier and more familiar to hit that key and have the activities overview come up than alt+space or alt+f2 (whatever it actually is) for krunner.
