1. Helpful summary, though I would have found it more informative (you did ask for feedback!) to see each for longer and with you demonstrating key points of difference for each, including how they look "out of the box" and an example of them customised. This is a useful playlist though and thanks for sharing your experience, it's helping me enter the Linux world as Windows gets less trustworthy and Apple keeps everything as proprietary as ever. 🙂

2. hmm

3. Thanks, if you ever re-do this video I'd love to see longer screenshots of the desktops because if you're a new user, you've not seen any them.

4. how to make xfce look like windows 98?????

5. Xfce is exactly as you said, it's incredibly ugly out of the box, but is great if you know what you're doing. I don't know what I'm doing with it, and that's why I don't use it 😊

6. super helpful thank you

7. After distribution hopping for several yeasts going back to 2000, I have rotated though every distribution including pure Linux distribution including both mandravia , Fedora, Centos and RHEL. Just recently I got sick of the constantly distribution hopping so I returned to RHEL purely because I can get self directed support for just-north of $200 dollars US but for that price I feel that I got a great deal on a rock-solid enterprise distribution. Out of the box RHEL ships with GNOME Classic/ Gnome 2 however you can add several after market community ran repositories such as true epel repository now I know yore thinking why the heck would someone looking for stability add community repositories and on top of that install xfce.

8. I know this old, but it's not about the desktop environment its about what's under the hood of operating system

9. Youtube setting the MATE chapter as Monta lol

10. Woah I love your Xfce desktop customization! Can you tell me where to find these? Or the name of it?

11. Thing is- i fyou can use any desktop on the distro you want— what freakin difference does it make if you're in debian, arch- or whatever??/ There are only so many ways to move , change, save or puclish a document or video.. and when it comes down to it- they PROCESS DATA in various formats and if you can meke them look however you like- then what , as I said- freakin difference does it make if you're on arch, debian or whatver??? BASSICALLY it's all the same. with MICROSCIPIC differences in speed of processing on various functions.. and usually the difference is even hard to see!!

12. 11:02 Anyone know what '' Display Render '' means from the right hand side list???

13. I could have saved 12 minutes just by looking at a list of screenshots instead

14. Wallah this is exactly what i have been looking for , cos i am new currently 😂

15. What desktop envuronments work well with Arch Linux? I really want to try deepin, Gnome, KDE, , xfce. Will it make my system buggy if I install too many desktop environments?

16. XFCE > KDE

17. I think you could have avoided your opinion on some DEs & provided some better info on some DEs like mate or xfce. I think you didn't do justice to them.

18. 2:41🤣

19. A. Mr. Chris when you install Linux for your friends and family. Do you install more then one desktop environment? I install KDE Plasma and GNOME for maximum application compatibility.

    B. Mr. Chris I found some QT applications don't work correctly when logged into GNOME.

    C. Mr. Chris I tell my friends and family. If an application starts with a G. It's built for GNOME. If an application starts with a K. It's built for KDE Plasma. You can use all applications in each desktop environment.

    D. Mr.Chris please continue to get on life's stage and let your Godly inner light shine. Please continue to climb life's ladder and let the world see The Great and Wonderful Gifts, Talents, and Treasures that are inside of you.

    E. Mr. Chris You Go Gentleman!!!
    F. Mr. Chris please stay safe.
    G. Mr. Chris God Bless You!!!

22. Is it so hard for a Linux person to make a video that is actually good when it comes to the lightest most usable desktop environment for like a Pentium 4 machine or weaker?

    Man basically had to do it myself and heard bs from people like this above who said distro's don't matter lol well the default desktop GUI sure in the hell does.

    Some use a LOT of CPU cycles or GPU resources to do basic tasks like moving a window lol. Or it uses like a bunch of ram just for basic tasks which makes Linux like Windows IMO

23. I really like the MATE DE as my go to
