For me its KDE.
Personally, I’m a bit torn currently… I’ve mostly used Pop!_OS’s customized Gnome desktop since I fully switched to Linux in 2019, and I am also rather eager to try out their upcoming, Rust-based Cosmic Desktop too.
However, I have come to quite like KDE on my laptop now running OpenSuse Tumbleweed. It’s a fantastic experience, and honestly more distros should ship with it rather than plain Gnome.
Curious what others here say their favorite is though!
I’m a KDE guy. It does what I need, has the options I want, and stays out of my way. I’ve used just about everything though. I used to like XFCE and GNOME 2 but it feels like KDE is the most actively developed nowadays, and I can shape KDE to be minimal if needed. With Wayland being the way that it is, it currently feels necessary to stay on the most actively maintained DEs for compatibility.
