Okay so KDE was okay 5-10 years ago. Ultimately crawled back to Windoze. What's in vogue in 2024?

KDE 6 just dropped. Cinnamon is up there as well. And if you think iOS is too cluttered and functional, give Gnome a try.

Can't endorse Gnome enough. I feel like something about it is anti ADHD for me. It optimizes screen size usage. And, the division of tasks into workspaces is glorious. It honestly bothers me a little that it helps me be productive despite myself.

I am glad someone likes it.

It frustrates me to no end.

The extension ecosystem is absolutely amazing. I really love it!

I use paperwm, and I think its the greatest user interface ever. Actually makes my odyssey super ultrawide useful

I'm a big fan of Pop OS personally.

  • Budgie for minimalist KDE-like experience
  • Cinnamon for good old Windows 7 vibes
  • XFCE for going all XP
  • KDE itself is really good nowadays, and probably the most popular option

There is plenty of choices, those are just some of the major ones.
