For me its KDE.
Personally, I’m a bit torn currently… I’ve mostly used Pop!_OS’s customized Gnome desktop since I fully switched to Linux in 2019, and I am also rather eager to try out their upcoming, Rust-based Cosmic Desktop too.
However, I have come to quite like KDE on my laptop now running OpenSuse Tumbleweed. It’s a fantastic experience, and honestly more distros should ship with it rather than plain Gnome.
Curious what others here say their favorite is though!
Yeah, I’ve begun to come around to that thinking as well. I’m curious to see what S76 has for their Cosmic DE that’s written in Rust. I imagine I’ll stick with that, though if that doesn’t pan out well, I’d likely consider switching to KDE Plasma as my primary DE for my gaming/work PC.
We’ll see if Cosmic DE is good enough to dethrone KDE/GNOME. My hopes are not high that S76 can do it better, but I’d like to be surprised.
Based on early views of it, I think it’ll certainly give Gnome a run for it’s money. If nothing else, it’s helping to flesh out a Rust-based GUI toolkit for the rest of us. Iced is gonna be a lot more powerful in the end, whether their DE succeeds or fails.
