The Best Desktop Environment

In your opinion what is the best DE IQfy?
For me it's Cinnamon, just works and it's not in maintenance mode like everything not KDE and GNOME

      And a huge chunk of every desktop thread is comprised of people who use WMs.

    MATE, because it's lightweight and just works. But the main point for me is that it has the old GNOME layout, which is better than Windows-like. Or it's just that I'm used to that.

    For me, it's KDE. I left GNOME because I got tired of Nautilus freezing up when opening directories with a lot of files, while Dolphin slides through them with ease. Also, I lost hope of GNOME ever implementing icon grid view in the file picker.

    Whenever I try to render something in Blender, Gnome's window manager hits the floor for some reason. The framerate at which the UI operates takes a nosedive during rendering.

    I have not encountered this problem with KDE.

    kde never gets in my way while gnome is just stupid whenever you want to change anything. Kde is made to be modded and changed to fit you whilst gnome devs expect you to change to fit their de.

    Every design choice in GNOME is moronic, feels anti-user and the community and devs spend lots of time and effort forcing their views in the "you're holding it wrong" spirit.

    They can go screw themselves.

    There is no best DE, there is only the best DE for you.
    I use gnome because i want a distraction free desktop that "looks good".

    There is no "Best DE", the most versatile would be KDE in my opinion but that doesn't make it the best.
    Every DE offers design, options and programs that suits the needs of the target user.
    I'd say that all of them are pretty good at what they want to accomplish.

    I love cinnamon and plasma, but I use the latter simply because i'm used to it and it outperforms cinnamon while being (allegedly) more bloated.

    mate is passable. it was a bit incomplete imo last time i used it.

    XFCE. Stable, minimalist, light, customizable. Very based

    gnome. i spend 99% of my time in a browser so every other option offered by a DE aside from keybinds, super key + search is left by the wayside for me
    i could probably do exactly the same for less with a wm but the time spent adjusting will never be made back

      Don't you ever feel like clicking tabs really fast
      You can't because there's a fricking top panel there
      And the panel is 80% empty

        i spent a good portion of my computing time playing OSRS doing tick perfect double nature laps on 2 clients at once, click accuracy isn't a problem for me

    lxqt isn't on the list, but it achieves the lightness of xfce whilst being more intuitive and modern.

    If I could use MATE with wayland that'd be the one
    But because I can't and because I want a somewhat stable (somewhat honestly, it's not exactly like it isn't giving me fricking issues right now) GNOME on wayland
    If I didn't have the wayland requirement I would just use MATE or XFCE in case MATE fricks it up somehow

    KDE because you can wrangle it into whatever you want and it has all the features you could possibly want.
    XFCE is fine too but getting old and suffering from gnome and GTK.
    THE FRICKING FOOT just werks but has no features and look like it was designed by schizo, it's simultaneously a tablet UI with keyboard focused controls.

    tl;dr KDE stronk
