Five days in (Score: 1) by zafiro17@pipedot.org on 2014-08-15 11:13 (#3W0) The poll has been up for five days now. Interesting to see that Windows is indeed in the lead with 21 points, but second place is currently "Console only" with 19 points, far ahead any of the popular Linux desktops: KDE, Gnome, and Unity. Very surprising, to me at least! Re: Five days in (Score: 0) by Anonymous Coward on 2014-08-16 12:44 (#3WP) Why? I didn't vote because I'm anonymous and the poll doesn't appear to allow it.I run XFCE, the main thing I use is it's terminal -- that's the interface to my local machine and several remote servers. If web sites were usable in lynx or there was not so much video content in my day to day life, I wouldn't much bother with a desktop. XFCE is configured to hide it's panels and my 'Desktop' displays only iconified apps while my files live elsewhere. Email is read in re-alpine, my text editor is vim, mplayer is run from a console... so really XFCE or any other DE would have very little to do with my actual usage.Employment wise, I'm freelance and use a mixture of Windows, OSX and linux (headless) on various client sites.
