Least Favorite: Deepin, due to the privacy concerns
First DE: XFCE
Honorable Mention: Cosmic. It is sexy with decent balance of customization & strong unified vision. It is early on though so not quite ready for prime time. Some bugs, and resource consumption could be better.
Current DE: KDE
Potential Future DE: Might see what thr fuss is about with WMs like Niri. It seems more complicated to set up than it needs to be, but I like the tiling and use of desktops sort of like GNOME but better.
Gotta say, I don’t really think there’s any big issues with Cosmic anymore. They are updating very very quickly, and at this point is consumes less resources than XFCE…
I totally understand people who like Gnome, don’t get me wrong, it’s just not for me.
Since i’m on a rolling release, I thankfully always have the newest versions of Cosmic. They recently also added blurring effects, so that’s pretty fun. Hope it works better for you now!
That’s good to hear! I tried it earlier this year and it was responsive and all (when not buggy) but sitting at 3 or 4 GB of RAM idle. I might give it another go.

It also has a native tiling mode xD
i tried cosmic on nixos a while back and it was a bit clunky and missing a couple of bits
time to change that couple of lines of config and try again
i use gnome btw :)

I think mine sits at like 1.5 GB idle these days. They’ve really come a long way
