Hello from Austria

I am a 45 year old guy living near Salzburg in the middle of Austria and I have been using Linux since 2006.

I like cats, coffee and novels. I used to be a web designer and make a living as a copywriter now.

Wen Ubuntu switched to Gnome 3, I discovered Xfce. It is my favorite desktop now, because I can customize it just the way I want it without much hassle. Mate is a close second. KDE is a good idea in theory and Gnome 3 is very alien to me.

Take a look at the current desktop on my Debian machine: https://forum.xfce.org/viewtopic.php?pid=54535#p54535

Hi Fritz74,

Nice desktop indeed !
By the way, Salzburg is the city of my great idol composer Wolfgang Mozart. I'd like to go there one day.
Best regards.

Fritz, great desktop.
Many Gnome3 refugees around.

Re: Hello from Austria

Your desktop preferences mirror mine. Gnome keeps isolating 'users' with every new release. I have been a very happy camper with xfce for a good 10+ years with no intention to migrate in the next 10 years.

Thanks, corstar! I feel the same way about Gnome.
