It's hard to go back after Sway/I3 with pywal coloration, when everything is so sluggish in comparison. It's amazing to see gnome and KDE adding like a second to launch/quit of common applications. Tried hyprland, but animations seemed choppy (beefy AMD desktop), has that changed?

i use zorin os's gnome with forge, once cosmic comes out ill switch to that

I have numerous machines and use several. On my main, KDE because of all the customization. Widgets, window styles, colors, themes etc. It's really like exactly how I want for maximum efficiency and productivity.

I've got gnome on my hybrid notebook and my transformer pad because gnome with Wayland is amazingly compatible with touchscreen.

I have one machine running Elementary which has the Pantheon DE it's kinda like Gnome with modifications.

And finally, I have an older system so just for efficiency, LXQt.

I do enjoy trying out different ones and especially more esoteric ones that I occasionally come across.

What broke with tracker3 ?

Nobody uses cinnamon? Honestly - I really like using cinnamon with Debian. I heard that they promised not to fuck with the UI for no reason unlike... everyone! @Mwa Cinnamon is a fairly nice, easy to use desktop - I don't really care which is better, but if they change it, you have to re-learn it. Top tip for UI design - don't think that your users want to re-learn how to interact with your UI - they might go outside, or elsewhere.

Gnome on laptop, KDE on desktop. I go back and forth with those DEs.

KDE at home "gaming" desktop, but would love to move away from it, for various bugs and non-working configurations. At work and home laptop I am using WMs, riverwm / i3.

Gnome and Cosmic. Gnome 'cause of simplicity and Cosmic because of Rust.

!I am a Rust programmer and I love this language!<

I love gnome and use that for everything except gaming. If I want to game I use KDE
