Re: What Window Manager/Desktop Environment do you use, and why?

If one knows what one is doing, it is possible to install *ANY* desktop
environment on *ANY* Linux distro.  Note that this has nothing to do with
whatever the distro "offers".  Yes, in some cases it might require a lot of
fun groveling with apt to install what needs to be installed and purging
what is not needed / wanted.  When doing a cold fresh install on a machine for
my own use, *I* generally install a system with no desktop environment, and
build things up from there.  This is a simplier way to get a desktop
environment that I can use, without having to wade through something unusable
(by me).

I use Linux Mint with Cinnamon-Flavour. After also trying/using

other things with Ubuntu.

 
Is it really impossible to change the GNOME theme in Ubuntu? And, does
the normal Ubuntu really only offer GNOME?
