What’s your preferred DE?

So they’ve taken a leaf out of KDE’s development book.
Is windows11 Microsoft’s KDE4 moment?

Does it have to be a DE?
Preferred WM is Xmonad (with my tabular boonad config, the grandpa version).
But much love also for herbstluftwm.
And dwm, openbox, icewm, i3, and others.
I have all these window managers in my wmrotate scripts in my wminizer script, so I can kill one and move to the next, without losing all running gui programs, keeping my X11 session going.
But if it has to be strictly DE…
I guess LXDE’s still my fave.
Respect to XFCE and Trinity too. And Mate.
KDE’s awesome. Big love to it again, after it got settled in after the KDE4 debacle.
LXQt’s fine too (though I prefer LXDE).
I’ve not tried Cosmic.
I dont know my way around cinnamon and the various other similar. Only briefly experienced.
GNOME have utterly lost the plot.
Why’d you ask?

I’m what some call a normie Linux user, so I like desktop environments. I run KDE Neon on my main workstation, and then I have a laptop running CachyOS.
You seem like an expert who has strong opinions. I’m interested to listen and read about peoples less and dislikes about niche subjects, such as desktop environments.

It’s frightening to me that I seem like an expert.
I also don’t think I have “strong opinions”. Just ever evolving preferences as I continue to explore.

I feel like Windows 11 is just another Microsoft “Windows moment”.
