Personally I’m a fan of KDE Plasma.
KDEeeeee. It can be configured to work in my way, so I don’t have to change my habits.
Now mod me.
I have liked Gnome.
Nothing until I need it so usually gnome with just perfection. I’d prob be a good candidate for window managers but have yet to get round to setting one up
Solus Budgie
I tried Solus OS when it first arrived and it was in its first releases and I absolutely loved it. It felt very stable and well made. How do you feel it handles Qt and GTK apps?
Depends on the device. I have my custom desktop rices here: https://sopuli.xyz/post/1516215
Personally, I really like Cinnamon. However, it doesn’t support Wayland, and the laptops I have that aren’t powerful enough to handle Wayland are also not powerful enough to handle Cinnamon.
@Moxvallix I’m a fan of KDE Plasma as well. I like to follow their dev progress.
Personally I use Mate, and I set it up to mimic the feel of Windows 95/98 as much as possible. I like a UI that doesn’t get in my way.
We need unixporn
I run Linux on an old Surface Pro 3. I prefer Gnome, because it works very well on a touchscreen device, especially one with an OS key on it
Hyprland. Add catppuccin and a simple and clean eww bar (also in catppuccin), and you’ve got the cutest and most optimized (navigation wise) setup (subjective, I just like tiling wms and catppuccin)
Lxqt - desktop environment
I3 - window manager.
Not super pleased with Lxqt but it’s good enough.
I’ve been issuing Budgie for years now and really like it.
KDE all the way, it even got the higly coveted SO-approval factor. My SO can actually use their linux computer with KDE.
Gnome for desktop, sway with waybar for laptop
