KDE Plasma. I just like it. It seems to have options to do what I want, for the most part. There’s some things I wish it had, like a way to programmatically get the active window under Wayland, so StreamController could automatically change pages.

Wood. Usually medium density particle board.

KDE Plasma and I refuse to use anything else on Linux unless there’s no choice.

gnome currently because nearly everything i use is designed for gnome and looks mismatched on other DEs. but the gnome workflow largely feels like a prison.

KDE Plasma. I am not good with making edits/tweaks to desktop environments and really like how MX has it set up.

LXDE/LXQT because I grew up using potato computers and now I can’t stand it if my DE uses more than 2% of my hardware resources

though I am currently using KDE because for fuck knows what reason, Kubuntu is the only prepackaged Linux I’ve been able to get to boot on my weird Samsung laptop and I haven’t bothered to gut KDE and replace it with LXQT yet

Xfce4.

It’s inexpensive on resources while leaving me nothing to really… need extra, I suppose. It’s old so there’s thousands of themes and ways to set it up, and it just feels like home. The speed of the animations and defaults to everything has a very stock Windows XP feel to the desktop despite it looking like nearly anything. The system doesn’t get in the way of programs from other desktops or setups in mind and always steps aside.

KDE. Because of its simplicity. Unsarcastically.

Gnome on the laptop, its keyboard and touch gestures are the best for notebooks. I also like its simple design and reliability.

KDE on desktop, I’d use gnome, but kwin has more gaming relevant features.

I have two, KDE on my laptop that runs Arch (btw) which is my tinkering machine, and GNOME/Pop!_OS on the desktop, which is the one other people use and I’m not allowed to break lol.

Although I might switch the desktop to COSMIC at some point if it doesn’t cause too much trouble.

XFCE. Because I’m an idiot, and all my computers are old.

I’m an XFCE guy. I find XFCE to be nice and fast. It’s decently light - not the absolute lightest, but most of its installation size is from dependencies you were going to install anyway like GTK.

For now, it’s still on xorg, but I think they’re working on it.

Xfce

I stopped usin em myself cus my laptop aint nun too fancy and i hated watching my system use 1.5+ while not doing jack, so i tried window managers a couple times until it stuck :3 i3 btw

On my main laptop I use KDE, it’s smooth and gets the job done. On my tablet, I use GNOME. It runs well, and is touch-optimized. On my other laptop, I use gnome for no particular reason.

KDE, it does what I want it to do.
