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.
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?
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
I have liked Gnome.
@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.
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.
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.
KDE all the way, it even got the higly coveted SO-approval factor. My SO can actually use their linux computer with KDE.
I’ve been issuing Budgie for years now and really like it.
