From Gnome to KDE, from MATE to Unity, there\u2019s a lot of choice out there. Where should you start? Windows and Mac both basically offer one desktop interface: the default one. Linux is another beast entirely. You can choose whatever desktop interface you like. Overwhelmed? Here\u2019s a list of the top ten desktop environments, to make it easy to compare.<\/p>\n<h2><a href=\"http:\/\/www.gnome.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Gnome 3<\/a><\/h2>\n<p>Gnome is one of the two major\u00a0desktop environments available, alongside KDE. It was the top dog during the heyday of Gnome 2, but its market share has declined since the introduction of Gnome 3. For users who enjoyed Gnome 2, some developers forked the old project into MATE \u2013 keep reading to learn more about that. <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"Its Your Choice: The Top 10 Linux Desktop Environments   image\" src=\"http:\/\/cdn.makeuseof.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/fedora19_about.jpg?2d92c1\" alt=\"fedora19 about   Its Your Choice: The Top 10 Linux Desktop Environments\" width=\"590\" height=\"406\" \/> Gnome 3 features Gnome Shell, a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.makeuseof.com\/tag\/gnome-3-beta-desktop-linux\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">new paradigm for a computer desktop<\/a>. Most of the interaction with the desktop environment is hidden in the \u201cActivities\u201d view, which some love and others hate. Additionally, Gnome has been leaning towards a simplification of the desktop. For example, there are no maximize or minimize buttons, and a handful of settings that most Linux users have been accustomed to having were removed as well. Many disagree, but I still think it\u2019s a good desktop environment to use. Gnome 3 is based off of the GTK framework that is created specifically for the desktop environment. Is the same framework that a majority of Linux applications use as well, which means that those applications will work well with the Gnome desktop environment visually. If you\u2019re willing to adjust your workflow, you just might find yourself loving Gnome.<\/p>\n<h2><a href=\"http:\/\/kde.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">KDE<\/a><\/h2>\n<p>KDE is the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.makeuseof.com\/pages\/guide-to-kde-the-other-linux-desktop\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">other major desktop environment<\/a>, alongside Gnome. It is considered to be the flashiest and most resource-heavy desktop environment of them all. It\u2019s also the one that looks closest to Windows\u2019 desktop without any special modifications or themes. KDE has the most features, as well as a massive amount of settings you can change to customize your experience. There are also a lot of themes available for KDE, so you can really benefit from KDE\u2019s features and still have it look the way you want it to. <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"Its Your Choice: The Top 10 Linux Desktop Environments   image\" src=\"http:\/\/cdn.makeuseof.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/kde-desktop.png?2d92c1\" alt=\"kde desktop   Its Your Choice: The Top 10 Linux Desktop Environments\" width=\"580\" height=\"464\" \/> Like I mentioned earlier, you do need a bit more muscle to run a KDE desktop at acceptable performance. You shouldn\u2019t expect to be able to run KDE well on a low-powered system like a netbook or an old desktop\/laptop, even if you turn off all of the flashy features that don\u2019t actually offer any functionality. The desktop environment uses the Qt (pronounced \u201ccute\u201d) framework, which isn\u2019t used quite as often as GTK is for applications (though there are many apps made specifically for KDE).<\/p>\n<h2><a href=\"http:\/\/xfce.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Xfce<\/a><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"Its Your Choice: The Top 10 Linux Desktop Environments   image\" src=\"http:\/\/cdn.makeuseof.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/xfce.png?2d92c1\" alt=\"xfce   Its Your Choice: The Top 10 Linux Desktop Environments\" width=\"580\" height=\"376\" \/> Xfce is a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.makeuseof.com\/tag\/xfce-lightweight-speedy-fullyfledged-linux-desktop\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">much lighter desktop environment<\/a> that is based on the GTK framework. It looks quite similar to Gnome 2\/MATE, but it\u2019s a lighter option than those two. It\u2019s also much lighter than Gnome 3 and KDE, so it\u2019s perfect for low-powered devices or for systems whose owners seek to attain maximum performance. It\u2019s not the lightest option available \u2013 keep reading for that \u2013 but Xfce does \u00a0 achieve a balance of performance and function.<\/p>\n<h2><a href=\"http:\/\/lxde.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">LXDE<\/a><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"Its Your Choice: The Top 10 Linux Desktop Environments   image\" src=\"http:\/\/cdn.makeuseof.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/lxde_lubuntu_desktop.jpg?2d92c1\" alt=\"lxde lubuntu desktop   Its Your Choice: The Top 10 Linux Desktop Environments\" width=\"590\" height=\"443\" \/> LXDE is arguably the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.makeuseof.com\/tag\/using-an-old-computer-give-it-new-life-with-lxde\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">lightest option available for a desktop environment<\/a>, at least among those that the traditional desktop paradigm. This GTK-based desktop environment replaces all of the default applications with even lighter options (think Abiword, Gnumeric, etc. instead of LibreOffice), and it offers no flashy visual effects \u2013 nor does it have very good aesthetics in general, without heavy tweaks. However, it\u2019s still a functional desktop that you should consider using if you want something simple and fast.<\/p>\n<h2><a href=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20170829034442\/http:\/\/unity.ubuntu.com:80\/?\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Unity<\/a><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"Its Your Choice: The Top 10 Linux Desktop Environments   image\" src=\"http:\/\/cdn.makeuseof.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/ubuntu_trusty_desktop.jpg?2d92c1\" alt=\"ubuntu trusty desktop   Its Your Choice: The Top 10 Linux Desktop Environments\" width=\"640\" height=\"338\" \/> Unity is the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.makeuseof.com\/tag\/ubuntu-1104-unity-big-leap-linux\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">default desktop for Ubuntu<\/a>, and piggybacks off of Gnome. In fact, everything about it is the same as Gnome except that the desktop shell is different. The supplementary programs such as the file manager and the control center are all shared. Unity is only officially supported on Ubuntu, and it\u2019s unofficially available on a few distributions like Fedora and Arch Linux, both via third-party repositories. It\u2019s a pretty good desktop environment to use because it\u2019s rather simple to learn, and the Dash can be <a href=\"http:\/\/www.makeuseof.com\/tag\/search-newstorrentsspotify-more-on-ubuntus-dashboard-linux\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">extended through the use of scopes<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2><a href=\"http:\/\/cinnamon.linuxmint.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Cinnamon<\/a><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"Its Your Choice: The Top 10 Linux Desktop Environments   image\" src=\"http:\/\/cdn.makeuseof.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/cinnamon_desktop.jpg?2d92c1\" alt=\"cinnamon desktop   Its Your Choice: The Top 10 Linux Desktop Environments\" width=\"590\" height=\"443\" \/> Cinnamon is <a href=\"http:\/\/www.makeuseof.com\/tag\/gnome-based-desktop-environments-explained-mate-vs-gnome-shell-vs-unity-vs-cinnamon\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">another alternative to Gnome<\/a>. It tries to use the new technologies included in Gnome 3 but look more like Gnome 2. This desktop is primarily made for Linux Mint, and is unofficially available on a few other distributions as well. It\u2019s similar to Unity in availability and goal \u2013 to replace Gnome Shell with something else. If you\u2019re coming from Windows, it\u2019s probably going to feel more familiar than Gnome 3 or Unity.<\/p>\n<h2><a href=\"http:\/\/mate-desktop.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">MATE<\/a><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"Its Your Choice: The Top 10 Linux Desktop Environments   image\" src=\"http:\/\/cdn.makeuseof.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/mate_desktop.jpg?2d92c1\" alt=\"mate desktop   Its Your Choice: The Top 10 Linux Desktop Environments\" width=\"590\" height=\"443\" \/> MATE is a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.makeuseof.com\/tag\/a-review-of-mate-is-it-a-true-gnome-2-replica-linux\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">continuation of the Gnome 2 codebase<\/a>. When Gnome 3 was released, Gnome 2 was officially considered dead and a lot of people were recommended to upgrade or move to a different supported desktop environment. However, there were quite a few people who liked Gnome 2 and wanted to continue to use it, so they forked it and named the new project \u201cMATE.\u201d This was done to continue development on the desktop environment, not only to add new features to it but to make improvements like\u00a0fix bugs and rework some code.<\/p>\n<h2><a href=\"http:\/\/openbox.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Openbox<\/a><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"Its Your Choice: The Top 10 Linux Desktop Environments   image\" src=\"http:\/\/cdn.makeuseof.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/openbox_desktop.jpg?2d92c1\" alt=\"openbox desktop   Its Your Choice: The Top 10 Linux Desktop Environments\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" \/> Is LXDE not light enough? Give Openbox a try. It steps away from the traditional desktop paradigm and operates on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.makeuseof.com\/tag\/need-a-fresh-desktop-environment-for-linux-try-openbox-or-xmonad\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">completely minimalistic principles<\/a>. While Openbox is highly customizable, the default setup will be very bare. In fact, if you\u2019re used to traditional desktops, you might at first think that your desktop never loads, but in fact it loads very quickly and has nothing to show for it. Applications are opened via a right-click menu, which open up in normal windows in the seemingly endless, empty space. This desktop environment is great for those who run on extremely low-powered devices or just don\u2019t care for any of the features that other desktop environments provide.<\/p>\n<h2><a href=\"http:\/\/xmonad.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Xmonad<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/awesome.naquadah.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">awesome<\/a><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"Its Your Choice: The Top 10 Linux Desktop Environments   image\" src=\"http:\/\/cdn.makeuseof.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/xmonad_example.jpg?2d92c1\" alt=\"xmonad example   Its Your Choice: The Top 10 Linux Desktop Environments\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" \/> Xmonad and awesome are the last two desktop environments I\u2019d like to mention. They <a href=\"http:\/\/www.makeuseof.com\/tag\/need-a-fresh-desktop-environment-for-linux-try-openbox-or-xmonad\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">are both tiling window managers<\/a>, meaning that \u2014 instead of making free-form windows \u2014 it creates windows that follow a specific set of rules that you can write yourself. Most commonly, you\u2019ll have the first window take over your entire screen, two windows will be split vertically, three windows will have one window take one half and two windows will split the other half, and four windows will take up a quadrant of the screen. You can also enable virtual desktops and a bunch of keyboard shortcuts, but the general idea here is that you can configure everything to the way you like it. When comparing the two, people say that Xmonad is a more stable. Additionally, Xmonad uses Haskell for its configuration scripts while awesome uses Lua.<\/p>\n<h2>Conclusion<\/h2>\n<p>As you can see, there are a lot of different options to choose from. Think this is more than enough? There\u2019s even more desktop environments than this \u00a0\u2013 albeit they\u2019re lesser known. If you really think that none of these fit your needs, then you can search for others, but these 10 are among the top for a reason: they satisfy virtually everyone\u2019s needs. What\u2019s your favorite desktop environment? What feature do you think is missing from it?
