For me its KDE.

    I really like KDE, but I’ve been daily driving Gnome since version 40. Insanely polished and I really like the workflow of everything. I do wish they were faster in implementing stuff like VRR though.

    Seems like I’m the outlier here that prefers Gnome over KDE. Gnome feels more polished than KDE for me. Granted KDE comes with more features out of the box, but I don’t find anything lacking in Gnome for me.

    Tried KDE long time ago to compare it to Gnome 3, went back to Gnome. Tried KDE again a few months ago to compare to Gnome 42, came back to Gnome again.

    I also can’t stand having all my programs’ name starting with K.

      KDE has a lot of customization and plenty of neat features, but it suffers a death of a thousand papercuts. There’s just so many small “non-severe” issues that adds up to making it end up feeling clunky and unpolished compared to GNOME’s general polish.

      Like Okular, Spectacle, Dolphin, …

        Maybe I shouldn’t have said all, but it’s annoying to me when the they put a “k” in the name in a very awkward way just because it’s an KDE app.

      I like Gnome the best too. In my experience, it’s the desktop environment that focuses the most on making sure that no little bugs slip in. Like normally when you’re using a desktop environment, it will be good except for a few bugs here and there where you have to remember weird things like not backing out of the settings menu in a certain way in order to not trigger a bug. Gnome seems to have the least amount of weird little bugs like that.

      It’s not very configurable out of the box, but I prefer that too. I’m getting a bit old and set in my ways, and don’t really want to mess around with too much configuration anymore.

    Been a gnome guy for the past ~13 years with a bit of unity thrown in back when it was relevant! I’ve tried to love KDE repeatedly over the years but it’s never quite clicked with me - the customisation is great, but using it just feels kinda wrong personally!

    I am enjoying GNOME at the moment. But I think I may switch to Cosmic DE when that gets released.

    Kde because it has a really useful and functional out of the box tools, being dolphin and connect the most useful ones for me.

    Never had an issue since last year, but yeah, was buggy as hell.

    Mate if I want more juice from a not so good pc, and xfce for the low end ones.

    Mine is MATE:

    It’s still GNOME 2, but I see no problem with that, it works and I’m used to it and I like traditional desktops. I don’t need (or care about) round borders or those on/off switches of modern desktops, that make them look like phone screens turned 90°.

    I’ve been using Cinnamon for years. It’s stable, fairly lightweight, and pleasing to the eye.
