For me its KDE.

Personally, I'm a bit torn currently... I've mostly used Pop!_OS's customized Gnome desktop since I fully switched to Linux in 2019, and I am also rather eager to try out their upcoming, Rust-based Cosmic Desktop too.

However, I have come to quite like KDE on my laptop now running OpenSuse Tumbleweed. It's a fantastic experience, and honestly more distros should ship with it rather than plain Gnome.

Curious what others here say their favorite is though!

gnome ftw

I use Cinnamon (the one with Linux Mint). I know I could probably be more efficient with other DEs and I'd like to try Wayland, but it does what I need and I'm used to it.

On desktop: KDE because of the amount of customization that is possible. I've been trying window managers but I haven't found one I like yet.

On mobile: Phosh because it feels a lot more complete compared to other options.

Yeah, I've begun to come around to that thinking as well. I'm curious to see what S76 has for their Cosmic DE that's written in Rust. I imagine I'll stick with that, though if that doesn't pan out well, I'd likely consider switching to KDE Plasma as my primary DE for my gaming/work PC.

The one with the funny mouse logo. (XFce)

Xfce is a good DE, honestly! I've used it with custom RPi setups before with good effect.

Not really a DE, but... suckless's DWM. I have no idea how they fit a window manager into 20KB AND made it actually usable on the daily

Same. I'm currently in a setup with dwm, rofi and jonaburg-picom, and is the most pleasant desktop experience of my life
