    Vanilla Gnome. It’s simple/boring, and I like that. It seems like most people that like Gnome don’t care that it’s not a poweruser DE, and aren’t excited to talk about it either.

    For aesthetics: Budgie, with Cinnamon a close second For simplicity and speed: XFCE

    KDE sets a really high bar with all the packages and extensibility. Almost everything (not including the lesser known and used packages) is feature-packed and just works. I really don’t know any other software that constantly amazes me like KDE.

    I used to only use KDE or KDE plasma with i3 but after using fedora I’ve fallen hard for Gnome and the design philosophy of the project.

      Me exactly. I’m totally definitely for sure going to try out all the more complicated DEs and widget tools (eww, maybe AwesomeWM if I’m willing to learn Lua or Hyprland if I’m willing to try Wayland)… Someday

      In the meantime, my BSPWM + Polybar setup is there and works while I procrastinate on trying anything else.

      This is what I do too. I’ve been considering switching to XFCE everywhere, because why use more resources, when XFCE does the job insert The Office “why waste time say lot words …”-gif

    Pop! _OS’s Cosmic Version of GNOME (regular GNOME kinda stinks) but KDE is also pretty great. Can’t wait for COSMIC DE. I’m sure that one will rock itself up to the number 1 spot really quickly.

    KDE + Latte dock is what I use. Very simple and minimalistic setup with no widgets.
