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.

    I like COSMIC too as a work in progress. It is damn elegant, minimalist, perfectionist.

    But I dont like the general desktop UI style, the overview, the menu.

    They are also just starting, but it has a big future I think.

    I am always testing it and it is pretty cool. Already better than many alternatives I would say, at least if you replace some apps.

    pcmanfm-qt from LXQt is actually the best filemanager next to KDE Dolphin, and has very few dependencies.

    Qt apps on COSMIC are currently pretty broken, but there may be some KDE people stepping up and this is likely also fixed. Different from… some other big desktop… where KDE apps are all broken.
