    Re: Linux users: Which Linux desktop environment do you prefer?

    To be honest, I'm a bit out of touch with many of the multitude of choices.

    My daily drive is KDE, been using it for more years than I care to remember.

    I hate Gnome, it just seems to get in my way at every turn.

    I bump into others (like on the Pi or on a VM where you want something lightweight) but don't generally give them a serious play.

    OTOH, I notice Plasma no longer supports wobbly windows. That could be a deal breaker, and perhaps it is time to move on. Just not to Gnome

    Re: Linux users: Which Linux desktop environment do you prefer?

    As I've mostly used Ubuntu and Pop_OS I'm most used to Gnome and tweaks of it.

    Played around with Mint and found Cinnamon OK but nothing special. Also had a go with Ubuntu Budgie which is very bling but not all that functional IMO.

    Not knowingly encountered the others so looks like it's Gnome by default.
