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 have never found a reason to leave i3. It is good and does what I need. I tried bspwm for a hot minute and there was aspects I liked, but I felt the documentation was lacking. DWM is annoying to patch. I might try out Hyprland when I feel wayland is ready but still there are features that are missing and some will never be present. I am a big fan of X11 Forwarding and am mad people think it is not worth continuing.

If you use Hyprland the owner of this server will probably love you forever. He mentioned it to me one too many times. I never used X11 forwarding, but I am also sticking away from Wayland for now as well since I need something I know I can relay on working 100% the way I know and I need.
