Last week I was asking about when and why you started using Linux, thank you everyone who took their time to write an answer! It was interesting to read all of your guys stories and I was surprised just how far back some of them go.

Now I am curious about your guys DE/WMs. What do you use? What do you like/don't like about it? What have you tried? What is you go to? Any you absolutely can not stand the sight of? Any that you tried that disappointed you?

Once again no judgment, just curious about peoples experiences.

I'm one of those that love KDE (provided the device can handle all the customization stuff I do there lol). I had the opposite experience - KDE was the easiest one to customize to my liking. Even easier than XFCE. Gnome, however, is an absolute PITA. Cinnamon is great, too.

I felt like KDE just had too many options because what I want is actually really really simple. I kinda gave up halfway through end went for "close enough" but I wasn't really happy with it. But it was mainly the bug made me give up and go back to Cinnamon.
