KDE Plasma
Qtile. Full DEs are for rich people.
Qtile is great, finally put an end to my WM hopping (at least until I try out Wayland maybe)
KDE. I used to use Gnome but switched over to KDE a few years ago.
Sway and I love it. A bit of a hassle to configure but once it’s set up how I like it’s then it’s great! I tried hyprland for a bit and it was super shiny but I just haven’t had the time to tweak.
TDE aka Trinity Desktop Environment, a fork of KDE 3.
How is it? I’ve often thought about trying it out. I’m on Plasma 5, but I’ve never loved Plasma like I loved KDE 3.6. I felt like KDE 4 was a huge regression and didn’t recover for years. Still hasn’t, really.
TDE was the default for Q4OS, the Debian-based distro that I use. They’ve since switched to Plasma, but I stayed with TDE because I’m used to it and it just works.
For a while I used tiling window managers, no DE really, but for the past year or so I’ve been using KDE and really enjoying it again.
i3, specifically regolith-desktop
I use Gnome with the pop-os tweaks: shell, launcher, and workspaces. Looking forward to the new COSMIC DE from System76.
KDE.
Back when everyone was failing horribly trying to come up with a new desktop that nobody wanted KDE was the only one to get it right.
Instead of trying to shovel some bullshit “next generation” interface down your throat they decided to make all of the interface parts modular.
If you want traditional start menu you can have it, want Mac style dock got that covered, want a touch/table type interface it’s in there. If you can’t make up your mind you can setup activities to flip back and forth.
Cinnamon is so nice. It’s what got me into Linux Mint 14.1 back when that came out.
After 20 years of casual distro-hopping with windows as my main, I finally landed on Mint Cinnamon about one year ago, gave up windows completely and haven’t looked back :)
Fedora Silverblue here so, Gnome
Sway for going on 2 years I think. I do recommend it, and Wayland/tiling wms in general.
I use my own fork that uses bspwm-style “long-side split by default,” and a nearly transparent under-the-hood container-squashing refactor that prevents this behavior from causing the tree to become bloated with invisible nodes and start to lag horribly. The fix won’t be accepted in Sway since it’s the bug is faithfully reproduced from i3, and I haven’t had time to rewrite it for i3. But if you use something like sway-autotiling, you’ve probably noticed the issue.
KDE
XFCE usually. Two years ago it didn’t support my weird multi monitor configuration, so I still have one computer with Gnome.
xmonad on my desktop, KDE on my laptop, haven’t felt like setting up xmonad on there and KDE last I checked doesn’t work correctly on my desktop since I use the Nvidia viewport settings to get my displays to act as 1080p displays.
