AFAIK the decision has been made to use Mate. I think this is a good
decision, and I might start recommending Trisquel 8 to new users switching
from Windows/MacOSX (I currently recommend Mint as a stepping stone from
proprietary OS to fully libre GNU/Linux).
GNOME 3 is great, but in most
I'm not into telling anyone what to do or not to do, but I think it's worth
asking you to consider what impression that picture and SuperTramp83's
comment would give a women browsing these forums to see if she was welcome
and respected in the Trisquel community. Not judging, just inviting

accidentally deleted the configuration file. I didn't have the heart to go
back and go through the process of getting it back the way I wanted it.
This sounds like microsoft in a nutshell...
A screaming kicking spoiled child. ;)
That desktop was a huge hit and has remained the standard for good reason.
MS kept it right up to Windows 7 which was also widely popular.
It only abandoned that look and feel for Windows 8's tablet interface, and
only then NOT in response to user demand, but rather as an iPad-fighting
I'm too new to upvote I guess, so this reply will have to do.
At your age, everyone looks young. :D
So anyway, nobody knows what the plans are for Trisquel 8 as far as desktop
environments are concerned?
The most configurable window manager out there. I used it once. I downloaded
a configuration file from some fvwm site and fiddled with it until I figured
out how to control the main features. It's addicting, but it took me a couple
of weeks to get things the way I wanted them. Then in the
some I used briefly, some for an extended period of time, xfce is, like the
usa fellows say "da sh.t" !
I've been playing around with xfce this afternoon and I've got to say it's
great. Much better (in my opinion) than Gnome Fallback.
seems pretty developed to me.

Looks like Scroogle's surveillance Crummy OS. Of course it is simple, and
people may enjoy that. I would vote XFCE, it's what I have installed on all
instances of Trisquel for Windows users, and they seem to like it just fine.
I use Whiskermenu though instead of the standard one for a
Yeah, as pointed out, it's fvwm, the default window manager/DE in
OpenBSD/LibertyBSD.

lodier, what desktop environment are you using?
...so says the person who promotes MATE desktop environment...
It doesn't have to be intimidating and the new users, if they are
intimidated, don't have to utilize the configurability. It can be set up to
look and act just like gnome fallback. If you don't like it that way, then
you can learn to set it up the way you want.
You can make xfce look almost exactly like the traditional Trisquel Gnome
desktop. It looks a lot better than fallback. The panel can actually handle
transparency. The same is true of Mate, of course, but there are a few things
that I can't get Mate to do that are easy in XFCE.
The MATE packages in Ubuntu 16.04 are high quality and fully supported
upstream. Why go back to the Gnome fallback hack job of previous releases?
1995 called. It wants its desktop back.
They have some really nice wallpapers. I wish they were PNG but JPG does the
job as well.
loldier you can take nice wallpapers from
https://wallpaperscraft.com/
and you can download images by resolution
Budgie Desktop is also a good choice. However, it is not available in
Debian/Ubuntu repositories. A lot of work is going for the sam.e
Eventhough it is on early stage of development, it provide a solid,
traditional looking, modern desktop environment. It supports all gnome 3
shortcuts.
> Users that want flexibility can take a few moments to install XFCE :p
after the word "flexibility" you omitted a bunch of words, and I'd like to
complete the sentence if you don't mind:
Users that want flexibility, stability, performance and sexyness can take a
few moments to install
I'd say stick with GNOME fallback or something similar.
It's simple, familiar, and stylish-- which is perfect for your average home
user, a target audience for Trisquel.
XFCE4 is much more flexible, which could be intimidating for new users coming
from Windows or OSX.
Users that want
Thanks. Here you go.
I got it by googling "wallpaper" and looking at images. I can't find it now,
but I uploaded it to imgur. Here's the link. http://imgur.com/7qeGN2D

Where do I get the wallpaper? It's nice.
The file size limit is, by the way, 2 megabytes. That's probably why your
screenshot didn't come through the first time.
MATE for rule them all.
Here it is. I tried before and had a hard time.
Where is the screenshot?
I know there was a previous posting on this subject. But I was wondering what
the most recent plans are, since Trisquel 8 must be in development by now. My
personal preference is XFCE4 because it can be used without compositing and
is in active development and more configurable than Gnome
