For me its KDE.

Personally, I'm a bit torn currently... I've mostly used Pop!_OS's customized Gnome desktop since I fully switched to Linux in 2019, and I am also rather eager to try out their upcoming, Rust-based Cosmic Desktop too.

However, I have come to quite like KDE on my laptop now running OpenSuse Tumbleweed. It's a fantastic experience, and honestly more distros should ship with it rather than plain Gnome.

Curious what others here say their favorite is though!

I used AfterStep then WindowMaker a long time ago..then eventually settled into GNOME, which has mostly worked for me over its many iterations. I've tried KDE throughout its history..but it's never clicked for me.

Yeah, for a while I also found that Gnome, despite the irritations that comes with it, was just overall a less... intrusive DE. Though S76's customizations helped make it more like the MacOS experience I had come from. However, recently with all the work that KDE has put into Plasma, I've sorta begun to come around to it. Especially with Wayland, it really shines on Tumbleweed with that.
