My favourite DE has got to be Cinnamon, as much as I like KDE and XFCE, I prefer the simplicity of cinnamon where as in KDE has a bit too much of everything in the customization scene and XFCE I find a little tricky to get tiling working right.
Cinnamon to me is perfect as I easily transferred from Win 10 to Mint and soon Manjaro Cinnamon Edition.
What is your favourite DE and why? Tiling WM DE’s can be counted as well seeing as they have nifty navigation features.
KDE : it’s the only DE where I can have 2 identical panels (app pined+ full system tray) on each of my 2 screens without installing extensions.
KDE can do what I want without having to look for extensions. Breeze theme is good enough for me, I don’t need to look for something else. So far it’s the best out of the box experience I had.
I prefer Gnome look, but I distr’hop too often to have the courage to setup the desktop every time.
Cinnamon is sold and easy to use. I use gnome but if I had to choose something else I would go cinnamon
Moksha DE is also good one. Budgie feels more bettter for new users than Cinnamon
I’ve been an user of XFCE4 for a decade now. It just works, easy to set up, low-resource impact.
Would openbox count?
80% of the full UI of a proper de but with 30% impact on really slow hardware.
