I personally prefer KDE because I like easy customizablility and it can look really pretty with some programs like kvantum.

    I’m using my hackintosh at the moment. I initially used the stock DE (Aqua), which is pretty nice: everything is very smooth, animations are nice, window decorations are neat, it comes with tons of handy features which is a huge reason why it is praised, making it a pleasure to use. Except for window management - it sucks. All you can do is resize and move window manually, which sucks a lot. This is partly mitigated by a surprising amount of things you can do with a keyboard in Aqua. Things like spotlight are super powerful!

    I migrated to yabai briefly, it entirely solves the issue of window management on macOS, however, it messes with window decorations sometimes, you lose some neat features of Aqua and also it requires you to disable System Integrity Protection, which is syboptimal. So you’re either stuck with disabling it or using the outdated chunkwm window manager, which is no longer developer iirc.
