I wanted to get a feel for everyone’s thoughts on desktop environments (or window managers if you don’t use a DE). I’m new to Lemmy, so apologies if this is too low-effort a post.

Personally I’m running KDE on my main computer, but I have an Arch virtual machine I use for more experimentation. That VM has seen KDE, i3, and will probably see hyprland at some point soon

    XFCE with the WM replaced with Openbox. Ask me about my Openbox keyboard bindings for window moving and resizing :)

    I kind of want to try KDE again, but I still feel it’s too laggy, at least on my machine with intel graphics.

      I am asking about your Openbox bindings

        Win+ijkl moves the window to the next edge with the “MoveToEdge” function, snapping it around the screen.

        Win+Shift+ijkl grows the window from any edge.

        Win+Ctrl+ijkl shrinks the window from any edge.

        Win+Cursor switches desktops, Win+Ctrl+Cursor sends window to other desktops.

        It seems intuitive to me because ijkl is used for actions within the desktop, cursor keys (reaching farther) are for between desktops.

          Makes sense to me too. That’s pretty nifty
