elementary OS is my main driver. They are so forward thinking and I love their design philosophy... not to mention the AppCenter.

So why is there always this constant pulling from KDE Neon for me? Why do there have to be so many great options? Truthfully, the major thing keeping me off of KDE Neon is that eOS has the AppCenter and an extremely sleek design, but Neon has a pretty kickass design too.

If Plasma Mobile works on my Nexus 5X, it may just push me over the edge to KDE...

@h4ck3r9 I love how Linux is built for both of us, even though we're looking for very different things in a distro. I don't really care about sleek design; I'm all about keeping things minimal and supporting keyboard shortcuts—so I've ended up running without a desktop environment and then using and for window management.

And I love that we can both find what we're looking for without needing to argue with each other over the direction for a single project!

@codesections wait a minute... Tell me more about arch with dmenu and DWM.... It sounds like a dream...

@h4ck3r9 It's really nice if you like keeping your hands on the keyboard. The shortcuts are all very configurable, but I've stuck with the basics: alt-j to focus on a different window, alt-enter to make the focused window the primary one, and alt-1 though alt-9 to change desktops.

Then, with dmenu, alt-o to open a text box with autocomplete for any program (and, with a pass-compatible dmenu extension, alt-p for any password, also with autocomplete)

Arch with DWM + dmenu is awesome when configured to recompile at login (not using AUR), keeps it super light and secure, ive got a half wriiten how to somewhere

@jason @h4ck3r9 Very interesting! Let me know if you every post the how-to; I'd love to take a look.

What's the advantage of re-compiling? I only re-compile when I've changed configuration settings, but reconfiguring at loggin seems like it's aimed at something else

It keeps it fresh, allows you to make changes on the fly too, even on low power machines it only takes moments to recompile
