KDE Plasma 5.

It’s default on Slackware =P

Nobody uses cinnamon? Honestly - I really like using cinnamon with Debian. I heard that they promised not to fuck with the UI for no reason unlike… everyone! @Mwa Cinnamon is a fairly nice, easy to use desktop - I don’t really care which is better, but if they change it, you have to re-learn it. Top tip for UI design - don’t think that your users want to re-learn how to interact with your UI - they might go outside, or elsewhere.

KDE Plasma and I refuse to use anything else on Linux unless there’s no choice.

KDE Plasma. I just like it. It seems to have options to do what I want, for the most part. There’s some things I wish it had, like a way to programmatically get the active window under Wayland, so StreamController could automatically change pages.

KDE Plasma. I am not good with making edits/tweaks to desktop environments and really like how MX has it set up.

gnome currently because nearly everything i use is designed for gnome and looks mismatched on other DEs. but the gnome workflow largely feels like a prison.

Wood. Usually medium density particle board.

On my main laptop I use KDE, it’s smooth and gets the job done. On my tablet, I use GNOME. It runs well, and is touch-optimized. On my other laptop, I use gnome for no particular reason.

Xfce4.

y tho

It’s inexpensive on resources while leaving me nothing to really… need extra, I suppose. It’s old so there’s thousands of themes and ways to set it up, and it just feels like home. The speed of the animations and defaults to everything has a very stock Windows XP feel to the desktop despite it looking like nearly anything. The system doesn’t get in the way of programs from other desktops or setups in mind and always steps aside.

I’m an XFCE account. I find XFCE to be nice and fast. It’s decently light - not the absolute lightest, but most of its installation size is from dependencies you were going to install anyway like GTK.

For now, it’s still on xorg, but I think they’re working on it.

Gnome on the laptop, its keyboard and touch gestures are the best for notebooks. I also like its simple design and reliability.

KDE on desktop, I’d use gnome, but kwin has more gaming relevant features.

I have two, KDE on my laptop that runs Arch (btw) which is my tinkering machine, and GNOME/Pop!_OS on the desktop, which is the one other people use and I’m not allowed to break lol.

Although I might switch the desktop to COSMIC at some point if it doesn’t cause too much trouble.

XFCE. Because I’m an idiot, and all my computers are old.

LXDE/LXQT because I grew up using potato computers and now I can’t stand it if my DE uses more than 2% of my hardware resources

though I am currently using KDE because for fuck knows what reason, Kubuntu is the only prepackaged Linux I’ve been able to get to boot on my weird Samsung laptop and I haven’t bothered to gut KDE and replace it with LXQT yet

KDE. Because of its simplicity. Unsarcastically.
