What desktop environment are you guys using on GNU/Linux?

I use XFCE. Kind of light weight, and very customizable.

I originally used GNOME, but I was not a fan of the "iOS" look they stated in GNOME 3. I switched over to XFCE because of the use of GTK.

If you're wondering. I use Triskel which comes with the Trisquel
GNU/Linux distribution. It is GNOME2 fallback that has been customized

I guess you could call it that. I like it because it does not eat up much memory and I can use it on most older machines that otherwise could not
handle an X windowed environment.

You are not alone. I also am bash interface, usually headless or remote on server machines. Once in a great while I will use a gui, and then get frustrated because I have to hunt menus instead of just typing the command or editing a file.

Dayum. That's nice. I however feel that MATE or XFCE is the lowest I'd
go in terms of a deksotp environment. LXDE just isn't for me. Maybe for
a server but for a desktop experience, nah.

* desktop (I cannot spell, just kidding - I can)

I feel a little silly, since I've outgrown my single core pentium
laptop with 1 gig of memory and now run LXDE on a duale core laptop
with 8 gigs. Still idles in about 170 megs of RAM. :)

If it works for you, there is nothing silly about it. :) It is nice to run
an OS that gives you such a choice.
