I wanted to get a feel for everyone’s thoughts on desktop environments (or window managers if you don’t use a DE). I’m new to Lemmy, so apologies if this is too low-effort a post.

Personally I’m running KDE on my main computer, but I have an Arch virtual machine I use for more experimentation. That VM has seen KDE, i3, and will probably see hyprland at some point soon

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.

That’s totally fair! XFCE runs great on lower-power devices where other options might not make sense. I run Arch and Fedora Server in my homelab
