What DEs are people using? (lemmy.world)

I wanted to get a feel for everyone’s thoughts on desktop environments (or window managers if you don’t use a DE). I’m new to Lemmy, so apologies if this is too low-effort a post.

Personally I’m running KDE on my main computer, but I have an Arch virtual machine I use for more experimentation. That VM has seen KDE, i3, and will probably see hyprland at some point soon

On my laptop I run Cinnamon. The classic, easy to use layout works best for me there.

On desktop I'm using Gnome. Having a full keyboard for the various navigating shortcuts makes it easier.

Totally get it! Cinnamon uses a layout Windows pioneered a long time ago. If it ain't broke, don't fix it, right?

Gnome is cool. I used it for a while but couldn't get comfy without a bunch of tweaks and extensions. KDE was intimidating (and i3 doubly so), but as I got used to it it was fine
