XFCE on my work machine, GNOME on PC and KDE on my notebook. I wish DEs would play together better, so I could DE hop on one machine, but one can dream
XFCE usually. Two years ago it didn't support my weird multi monitor configuration, so I still have one computer with Gnome.
Hyprland when felling tiled, Plasma or Cinnamon when I want some floating
Hyprland for me.
Uh-oh.
Why uh-oh?
I use gnome and plasma. Recently more plasma than gnome but I switch between them when there are new versions to explore. :)
I used GNOME but a bunch of angry Linux fanboys told me my worth as a human was nonexistent since I didnβt have XFCE installed so I installed Mac OSX instead. Loving clippy rn.
KDE
Gnome here. Tried KDE and Cinnamon, but just found myself more comfortable on Gnome with extensions.
I'm running i3 and it's ruined my ability to use Windows or Mac PCs
Absolutely same here, though it's also ruined my ability to use gnome or KDE or really anything else too..
I switch back and forth between Gnome, XFCE, and herbstluftwm - there's something about the mental model that works for me.
Windowmaker, I use it in a vnc/x2go setup, I need something fast, stable that doesn't use much of the desktop space. When it was my main OS, I went KDE-gnome-KDE-windowmaker-e17
Recently switched to hyprland from sway.
Gnome or Sway - it depends on the device and my mood.
KDE Plasma
XFCE for the longest time, and Cinnamon recently.
Mate & kde
I've probably spent the most time over the years in openbox. Sometimes lxde. Right now flirting with MATE and I don't hate it.
Currently on hyprland after using sway for a couple years. I also donβt mind KDE - I just got the Pinetab 2 and Iβm running Plasma Mobile on it. Though Iβve been wanting to try hyprland on that as well, maybe with one of the NWG launchers.
dwl (a wayland compositor inspired by dwm)
Wayland is better than xorg, change my mind
Used to use Gnome and Cinnamon desktop all the time but now I just use the Awesome window manager.
GNOME
I'm usually an XFCE guy but I'm giving Cinnamon a whirl at the moment
I usually daily qtile WM. If I run a full DE it's either KDE or LXQT.
GNOME, works well enough.
Gnome with some extentions
I used to distro hop, until I ended up with Arch for many years. But for the last couple of years, I'm very much Team Manjaro.
