I use GNOME.

Kde, let me change everything every time I get bored instead of switching to a whole different WM.

long time i3 user, now switched to sway

I'm using xfce. It's on endeavros as I like to belong to the arch crowd without working with the lengthly set up from scratch.

I prefer xfce as anything of note is accessible with a few minor exceptions due to endeavros security concerns such as Bluetooth which requires a quick systemctl command.

I started off with it after discovering ubuntu and trying the xfce version. I liked it and went through a few distros including crunchbang with openbox but ultimately xfce is a very straightforward experience for me and fairly customisable. The only drawback is it doesn't look like some of the awesome screenshots I've seen of i3 or other tiling managers but as a teacher I don't do development or have that much knowledge to tinker so xfce is my go-to.

I use a window manager, Openbox. It's great once you have your personal config file and shortcuts! Also, I can't be sure but I think @mutoroglin@feddit.nl recently switched to Hyperland lol

I have Plasma installed on my Arch based installation, but I hardly use it since I also have i3 installed which I adore.

My i3 setup looks very similar to my Plasma setup, I prefer window managers because they are more productive to use.

i3 with dmenu and polybar. Such a great and efficient setup for school and work, love it.

I have tried tiling WM's but they are not for me. KDE Plasma offers the right balance of customisability, look consistency and features to always come back on top again. It's been my go-to desktop environment since KDE3.

I just jumped up on the Hyprland band wagon (4 weeks ago). Very pleased with it so far!

I'm using Cinnamon

I used to build e17 / Enlightenment on Arch for years, was kinda cool and I learned a lot about building packages, but now I don't care anymore and I just use gnome. Or rather I'm using Firefox and a terminal and that's pretty much it. Oh and Gimp every once in a while. But most of the time it's fullscreen Firefox so who cares what de is behind it as long as it just works

Gnome. It just seems simple, elegant and smooth. It does what I need from a DE (not that much, I do a lot in terminal and Emacs). It has good keybindings out of the box and good virtual desktop mechanisms. It was also the first DE with good Wayland support. At first I was unsure if I liked Gnome's concept and restrictions, but I've grown to like it fast.

Xfce on Manjaro VM. Love it.

Gnome for 10+years... Across a variety of PCs... Intel NUC, mac pro 13, several dell laptops, and dell XPS 9560 and 9570 ATM.

I just use GNOME with a few extensions. Works fairly well for me.

I recently switched to hyprland, love it!

qtile and picom. It took some getting used to but I never want to leave the luxury of dynamic tiling.

AwesomeWM and KDE as a fallback when I mess my configuration.

I went from Gnome2, a few months on MATE, then Mint's Cinnamon until I moved on to Manjaro Cinnamon for 2 days, then tested KDE and got stuck on KDE.

Longtime cinnamon user here. I've also spent significant time in i3, plasma, and mate on variously specced systems. I'll probably end up switching to gnome at some point though, whenever I finally commit to de-xorgifying my pc.

XFCE with the WM replaced with Openbox. Ask me about my Openbox keyboard bindings for window moving and resizing :)

I kind of want to try KDE again, but I still feel it's too laggy, at least on my machine with intel graphics.

I use Xfce on my computers except my Pi where I use Window Maker. Window Maker with its lower resource needs really helps when the Pi is used with resolutions over 1080p.

For years I was using KDE, but since 2-3 years I'm now using Cinnamon: it's fast, it's uncluttered, it gets the job done. I like it 😊

i3 user here! ;)

I'm always returning to cinnamon, but was on Bungie for awhile

Just i3, very simple. I am considering testing wayland (sway probably) sometime soon, but i'm not too knowledgeable in case something goes awry and my laptop has a discreet nvidia so RIP.

I recently switched to hyprland and I love. I used plasma before but wanted to touch base with a tiling wm.

Sorry for the spam. These are my first activities with Lemmy, guess I should click less and be more patient

I've switched to LXQt recently. I like KDE and use mostly Qt apps, but KDE itself has too many features I don't really need. So far so good, I can't say I miss anything.

Sway. I look around every few months but nothing usually, um, erm pendulates my interest. I have hyprland installed...but my config file breaks with every update, and it's rice first, function later. I'm an opposite-ricer. I like to strip all decorations.

Desktop - KDE

Laptop - Gnome

I'm currently using Gnome, but I'd like to switch to a tiling WM at some point

I use xmonad on my laptop with my small screen, and xfce on my desktop with a slightly roomier screen. I think tiling window managers tend to matter less and less as emacs has begun to take over all of my time on the computer everything tends to stay in one or two emacs frames (and many buffers).

I'm switching between Arch and Manjaro, but I'm using mostly Gnome. Recently I had some weeks with KDE, but since Evolution is not well integrated, I'm using Gnome now again. Kmail is uncomfortable and total illogical for me. I don't get it to work the way I need it. Maybe the redesigned Thunderbird changes my mind, but there was a lot illogical other workflows on KDE on top. So I think I stay with Gnome or switch to XFCE.

I'm currently using Xmonad on my main Arch system, before that was Herbstluftwm. Occasionally I boot up KDE to check on how it's coming along or when i'm feeling nostalgic for what helped get me into Linux many years ago.

None - I don't run any DE, just a WM - i3. All I need is a terminal, browser, sublime-text for larger projects, and that's about it.

Hyprland window manager on my PC and laptop at the moment, but I might switch (back) to KDE soon for some QoL stuff and bc why not lol

Sway but transitioning into DWL.
