For me? I like using awesomewm where I can, though sometimes I switch |
11 |
to XFCE where useful. KDE isn't bad, except for compile times; I'm not |
12 |
enough of a KDE power user to really be affected by the differences |
13 |
between KDE3 and KDE4. |

I tend to recommend LXDE, XFCE or GNOME to Linux newcomers, depending |
16 |
on where they're coming from. LXDE is an excellent choice if the |
17 |
newbie hails from WinXP, for example. XFCE is reasonable for Mac or |
18 |
late-model Windows users. GNOME (either 2 or 3) is reasonable for |
19 |
low-end users. |

I don't deal with many "I don't want to touch it" users, but for |
22 |
those, I found netbook-oriented window managers work best. The less |
23 |
the user has to think about the interface, the more they can get on to |
24 |
complaining about apps. |
