I just switched from GNOME to Xfce after many years of the former. I had enough after some extensions broke for the millionth time. And the amount of resources used was bonkers. Currently working on setting up Xfce to my liking
Arch Linux
The beloved lightweight distro
I recently switched to hyprland, love it!

I recently switched to hyprland, it's great! I used KDE before but wanted to touch base with a tiling wm.
I use windowmaker and plasma. I also dabble in icewm
Haven’t heard of windowmaker before
I'm currently using Xmonad on my main Arch system, before that was Herbstluftwm. Occasionally I boot up KDE to check on how it's coming along or when i'm feeling nostalgic for what helped get me into Linux many years ago.
icewm is awesome for what i need! lightweight and simple, with good themes online.
I am a die hard Cinnamon guy. I used to like MATE and then I played with Linux Mint for a short while and Cinnamon became my thing. Cinnamon works really well in Arch too. I just wish that its window manager, Muffin, would support Wayland. I really want to drop xorg like a bad habit.
Sway but transitioning into DWL.
I always liked XFCE cuz I was a sucker for gnome2 back in the day, more recently tho I have found myself on KDE, it seemed the most polished and feature rich lately. However, I admittedly don’t use Linux on desktop anymore, most of my Linux usage nowadays is just my servers.
Hyprland for me, but sometimes I also log onto XFCE4 when theaching. I love how WM works and Hyprland by default is a visually good WM. I use it everyday except when teaching because sometime I need to zoom the code when I teach programming.
KDE on Wayland or sway. Thinking about trying hyprland somewhere soon.
Trying GNOME from time to time, without installed mutter-performance from AUR it is piece of lagging sh*t.
KDE on desktop, XFCE on laptop
qtile and picom. It took some getting used to but I never want to leave the luxury of dynamic tiling.
Desktop - KDE
Laptop - Gnome
I enjoy gnome with the arcMenu extension https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/3628/arcmenu/ I will include usually some other extensions, but arcMenu is what makes the experience a lot better than the stock one for me.
I use Cinnamon which is quite a niche I think, but I really like the minimalistic design. My main requirement for a DE is for it to not get into my way.
I have been using Arch+KDE plasma for ~5years on my main rig, I love it!
I use KDE, and have done so for many years. Because I also use Mac computers, I tweaked KDE to look just like MacOS using https://store.kde.org/u/vinceliuice themes. I am loving the DE
herbstluftwm - I remember there were reasons why I chose it, but I don't remember them xD
Hyprland window manager on my PC and laptop at the moment, but I might switch (back) to KDE soon for some QoL stuff and bc why not lol
I've been using KDE, GNOME for a short while to see where they are in usability. Got bored and started using hyperland setup for a few months now. I was also using i3 for years before thag.
