If you have to pick only one Desktop Environment and use it till your computer breaks, what would you choose?

I know Gnome is the default on popular distros: Fedora, Ubuntu, Rhel, Pop OS (it's Cosmic Desktop yes but it is still based on Gnome)...etc. But Gnome just doesnt work for me. I would pick XFCE - stable and no BS.

Before Manjaro and their cetificate shenanigan, I used to use their XFCE version. At the time, it was marketed as the "Flagship Manjaro version". I went 4 years without any problems and I did tinker a lot, just couldnt get their XFCE to break.

After a tough Arch or Gentoo installs, I just want to put XFCE on and call it a day.

What about you guys?

XFCE. It's lightweight, easy to tweak and looks great. I run it on my 6 y.o. potato laptop

The surprising thing is that KDE would run on there just fine too. If you don't add all the PIM stuff, it's almost a wash in memory usage and just as snappy.

Lol, yep. It's always funny to see xfce as being light weight.

Is this where I continue the meme and say I use arch by the way?

On the other hand KDE discover... Yikes. The software manager uses as much memory as XFCE.

Gnome has the apple philosophy that the user conforms to technology, not the other way around.

Plenty of people just don't have the brain capacity to read settings or multitask and that's fine. If that works for them, good for them.

Oh yeah for sure. I think if Gnome works for people they should use it. I'm not stoked on the situation of Gnome Extensions being needed for some pretty basic customisations, adding instability to the DE though.

No shade to Gnome, because there is a place for them in the ecosystem, but this is why I moved from Gnome 2 to KDE (with a few stops along the way). One size will not fit all.
