What DE/WM do you use? Any you tried in the past and hated?
Last week I was asking about when and why you started using Linux, thank you everyone who took their time to write an answer! It was interesting to read all of your guys stories and I was surprised just how far back some of them go.
Now I am curious about your guys DE/WMs. What do you use? What do you like/don't like about it? What have you tried? What is you go to? Any you absolutely can not stand the sight of? Any that you tried that disappointed you?
Once again no judgment, just curious about peoples experiences.

I'm a KDE guy through and through now. GNOME has a better workflow in my opinion, but the stronghanding isn't something I'm a fan of. KDE doesn't try to fight me as much and has taken some cues from GNOME (e.g. the window viewer being hot-cornered to the h
I've tried Cinnamon, and it's a good starting point for Windows users but the plugin store needs more love from them. MATE + Compiz is a good combo but Compiz is very much on its way out, I'm hoping MATE has a good compositor when they move to Wayland (or they use Wayfire). I'll use XFCE if I need something more lightweight.
Shorthanding? I feel like I am missing some knowledge here.
Yea the Windows like feel is what drew me to Cinnamon and I have it still setup very Windows-like.
basically "my way or the highway", essentially what Apple does and why you might see a lot of KDE fans complain or even make fun of GNOME. It wouldn't be so bad if GTK wasn't something other DEs like KDE had to deal with.
For example, KDE has a GTK version of their default theme that updates on colour scheme changes, to keep GTK/GNOME apps consistent with KDE's. With the move to libadwaita, those apps will look inconsistent when run on KDE. Gradience at least helps a bit.
Ahhh I see, thanks! For some reason I was guessing it had something to do with shortcuts, I was very off lol
