Okay so KDE was okay 5-10 years ago. Ultimately crawled back to Windoze. What's in vogue in 2024?
KDE 6 just dropped. Cinnamon is up there as well. And if you think iOS is too cluttered and functional, give Gnome a try.
Can't endorse Gnome enough. I feel like something about it is anti ADHD for me. It optimizes screen size usage. And, the division of tasks into workspaces is glorious. It honestly bothers me a little that it helps me be productive despite myself.
I am glad someone likes it.
It frustrates me to no end.
Okay, you sold it to me (given for free) Should try to approach Gnome again. Currently a KDE user.
I use paperwm, and I think its the greatest user interface ever. Actually makes my odyssey super ultrawide useful
I'm a big fan of Pop OS personally.
There is plenty of choices, those are just some of the major ones.
No else one is advocating for GNOME desktops so I will. I've tried Mint, Ubuntu, Zorin, Pop!, and a few others. Personally I love my Fedora machine. It's super easy to use, play all my games on it save a couple due to anti-cheat reasons. GNOME is developed kinda sorta in line with Fedora and is very extensible because of the community plugins, it's much better than it used to be. To me it looks really clean, makes sense when navigating, and stays out of the way. Red Hat exists, so if you need support you can probably even rely on some RHEL documentation.
You might have some trouble if you use multiple displays with different resolutions, depending on your use case, but my 4k/1080p setup is really solid.
