So a few months back I asked about you guys os in c/asklemmy, so this time I wanna ask about your desktops you use on this same account.
(I use kde but plan to move to cinnamon I find kde buggy and gnome tracker3 randomly broke for no reason + themeing so yh idk if these happened to anybody)
KDE. It’s customizable without adding lots of weirdness. It’s got a solid set of included tools like Dolphin and Konsole. It’s generally very stable and visually attractive.
No shade to other DEs. I’ve tried lots of them, I even have a couple of alternative DEs I’ll log into when they are useful (i3 is great if I am doing something repetitive). But KDE is just the most comfortable for me for daily use.
The non-Gnome COSMIC DE that System76 has been developing is looking really promising though. I have the alpha on a spare laptop and find it very functional.
I found some negative press about cosmic which can be valid or not.

First, to be clear, this isn’t so much “press” as a blog entry. Second, there are only so many mentions of “rust cultists” and “my rust” I can read in a blog before losing interest.
