I'd rather someone's first choice about Linux was which DE to use. This plays a way bigger part in first impressions.
~~The obvious choice is KDE, ofc~~
I totally agree, that's a way more important factor when you're starting out with Linux.
~~Gotta be Gnome though~~
That's a strange way to spell Xfce.
Maybe you misheard LXQT?
DEs are clearly bloat, so the best DE is no DE.
~~Definitely not just because I prefer i3~~
The arrangement of Start menu hardly matters. Virtual desktops are indispensable though. And I can restart crashed Plasma in 35 seconds.
DE? WM!
~~ctwm rocking along nicely since last century~~
Whatever, I always say, use what you want when you want to dive into things. When you don't want to dive into things, use either IOS when you can afford it or Windows. (As long as they don't expect help with the last 2 ;) )
KDE is lighter than GNOME? In my experience GNOME uses slightly less resources.
Maté is awesome
