Hyprland for me, but sometimes I also log onto XFCE4 when theaching. I love how WM works and Hyprland by default is a visually good WM. I use it everyday except when teaching because sometime I need to zoom the code when I teach programming.
I just switched from GNOME to Xfce after many years of the former. I had enough after some extensions broke for the millionth time. And the amount of resources used was bonkers. Currently working on setting up Xfce to my liking
I always liked XFCE cuz I was a sucker for gnome2 back in the day, more recently tho I have found myself on KDE, it seemed the most polished and feature rich lately. However, I admittedly don’t use Linux on desktop anymore, most of my Linux usage nowadays is just my servers.
KDE on Wayland or sway. Thinking about trying hyprland somewhere soon.
Trying GNOME from time to time, without installed mutter-performance from AUR it is piece of lagging sh*t.
Arch, btw and I use KDE on my desktop and laptops. I did put Gnome recently on one of my laptops to try and see all the new hub-bub from the latest upgrade, but went running back to KDE. I love 'global menus' and to my knowledge, gnome doesn't have an extension for that, but besides, the DE always feels simplified and overly constrained for usage, imo. I only with the Gnome devs weren't such control freaks, LOL, but maybe that is why some like Gnome.
I am excited about the development of Hyprland, kind of the best of two worlds, customization theming and dynamic tilling in one, although not really ready yet for everyday usage from what I have read.
I have been using Arch+KDE plasma for ~5years on my main rig, I love it!

I use KDE, and have done so for many years. Because I also use Mac computers, I tweaked KDE to look just like MacOS using https://store.kde.org/u/vinceliuice themes. I am loving the DE
I've been using KDE, GNOME for a short while to see where they are in usability. Got bored and started using hyperland setup for a few months now. I was also using i3 for years before thag.
Qtile
I am using Budgie on Manjaro. It's pretty great!
Bspwm, but MATE has been my go-to for years
I recently switched to hyprland, love it!

I recently switched to hyprland, it's great! I used KDE before but wanted to touch base with a tiling wm.

icewm is awesome for what i need! lightweight and simple, with good themes online.
KDE on desktop, XFCE on laptop
KDE on Mandrake/SuSE back when they were on version 1/2, GNOME on Debian/Ubuntu until 2016, a little bit of Enlightenment for the quirky days, XFCE instead of Enlightenment when I had to do actual work on a lighter machine, and now have been using GNOME daily for 4-5 years. For me it's customizable enough, and I prefer the design to KDE these days (KDE has too many different margins and paddings for me to handle).
I use Cinnamon which is quite a niche I think, but I really like the minimalistic design. My main requirement for a DE is for it to not get into my way.
herbstluftwm - I remember there were reasons why I chose it, but I don't remember them xD
I'm not an Arch user (I stayed in Fedora because convenience at the time), but I use Qtile these days. I have my own little scripts for making the colorscheme the same as the wal colorscheme.
I use windowmaker and plasma. I also dabble in icewm
Haven’t heard of windowmaker before
I am a die hard Cinnamon guy. I used to like MATE and then I played with Linux Mint for a short while and Cinnamon became my thing. Cinnamon works really well in Arch too. I just wish that its window manager, Muffin, would support Wayland. I really want to drop xorg like a bad habit.
I enjoy gnome with the arcMenu extension https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/3628/arcmenu/ I will include usually some other extensions, but arcMenu is what makes the experience a lot better than the stock one for me.
The beloved lightweight distro
