It's FOSSComment 🐧
MrGrumpyMonkey@itsfoss The existence of Desktop Environments. Would have saved me from distro hopping from one flavor to the next. If I would have known better, I'd have stuck with Linux Mint and just installed it with the XFCE Desktop Environment. Oh well. Now I know better and try to inform new users of them before trying other flavors.
Ati@mrgrumpymonkey @itsfoss One thing that is not clear to me is how and if desktop environments affects how different apps work / or crash on Linux. Talking Xfce, if i change my Ubuntu Gnome DE to Xfce, should all my apps work the same?
Johan@mrgrumpymonkey @ati1 @itsfoss There are alot of ** regarding that.
Teeming and certain features may depend on the DE you have installed and some DE don't follow standards as much as others

@_nibbles @mrgrumpymonkey @itsfoss That was my initial feeling that it is only DE/GUI and so things do not change under the hood, or *they shouldn't *BUT... 😜 I gues I just have to test that. Xfce is positively rated for compatibility / following standards right?
