    I particularly like Cinnamon, it’s very simple and nothing fancy (while still looking great and modern).

    The other popular choices include:

    • Gnome
    • KDE (customizable to hell)
    • XFCE (very easy on resources, good for old hardware, or if you like simplistic DE)
    • LXDE (similar to XFCE in the resources department, but looks more modern, IMO)

    There are others, but I can’t speak for them as I’ve never tried them. I can’t really describe modern Gnome as well, because the last version I used was 3 and it doesn’t look at all as the same DE, so someone else will have to provide that info.

      I‘ve recently used lxqt in a project. Very cool and the successor of lxde afaik at least for lubuntu.

      modern gnome is simpler to learn and more polished than basically all other DEs. i think its better for someone that wants something new and for people who just started using a computer, because of just how easy it is to use. its not good if youre switching from windows or mac and want something similar.
