[Discussion/Help] Post your Daily setup or Help me find the right one.

G'Day Fellas,

Bit of a Discussion here.

I very much want to use Linux full-time on my daily computers, as I'm fairly used to it by now, after being a sysadmin for the system.

# The only problem holding me back is a bit of a non-issue;


The lack of a consistent DE.

I just... can't seem to find the right one that will work for me. The closest I can get is either KDE or Windowmaker. Former offering great consistency and smooth performance but taking up a shit tonne of system resources with all of its default applications, and the Latter offering such a lightweight and familiar experience (Used to daily GNUSTEP/OpenSTEP Stuff) but lacks any modern support for trivial things, such as dual monitors. I know Windowmaker isn't really a family of software, but it's familiar and lightweight performance really appeals to me, using a computer from 2006.

I know the perfect DE/WM suite doesn't exist, but I'd love to get as close as possible to the ***somewhat*** consistency of NT Operating systems ( I say somewhat because W8/10 has cucked that up a bit) where Windows + R = Run, Control Panel adjusts everything, and Window Snap is always as fluid as ever. I'm not staying on Windows, I'd rather receive cock and ball torture than give away my personal data.

So, Linux community I ask you this; **What's your Daily Setup like to get work done/familiarize yourself with, and do you have any recommendations for me?** Provide pics or text details, I don't care. Would just love some friendly input from you guys.

Big Cheers

Is there a lightweight FOSS printer driver for standard old USB Laserjets?

Every Windows since 3.1 had instant plugnplay with any HP Laserjet. The HPLIP driver takes several minutes to download and install, and then I have to reinstall it every time I print a week later. Is there any lightweight basic FOSS driver for Linux, such as the HP Universal Print Driver (UPD) for Windows?

M0E-lnx (VectorLinux): I think most would agree that the linux desktop has evolved a lot [...] We are at the point where it's almost impossible to build a relevant linux without some systemd component. Systemd is now entangled into places you would never expect to see it.
