My favourite DE has got to be Cinnamon, as much as I like KDE and XFCE, I prefer the simplicity of cinnamon where as in KDE has a bit too much of everything in the customization scene and XFCE I find a little tricky to get tiling working right.

Cinnamon to me is perfect as I easily transferred from Win 10 to Mint and soon Manjaro Cinnamon Edition.

What is your favourite DE and why? Tiling WM DE’s can be counted as well seeing as they have nifty navigation features.

    Xfce lover here. I tried Cinnamon for a bit and it is impressive, but I then moved to KDE on wayland. It’s better than I thought. I decided to leave it almost not customized, just the panel on top and a couple of widgets. The thing with KDE, for me, is that you can’t not love the developers for all the things they try to do and all the improvements they always bring. It’s an impressive work. So, xfce on xorg and kde on wayland is my way to go. I’m not a fan of Gnome. It looks good at first, but after a bit I realize that simply it’s not for me, not even the way it looks.
