But I have no idea what that has to do with which DE I use :P

@selea yea not much, unless you want to convince them to switch their desktops to linux too, in which case it makes some sense.

You are a bigger person than me, I would have quit ages ago.

@selea @freemo
Maybe try a different approach and a DE that offers a desktop metaphor close to windows (cinnamon, mate, kde) as I think that from a windows user perspective gnome 3 based DEs might be too much of a novelty and scare them away. Just my 2 cents.

@manulfk

I've tried that, but then I'll just get the comments like "ooh linux tries to hard being windows, so why not use windows?" :P

I think that a good looking, cool and a littlebit different DE would be quite nice

@freemo

@selea

I think budgie is a great call for "do it all out of the box DE"

@manulfk

@freemo

I agree :)
