        See I don’t really get the appeal of xfce, I kinda see it as the minimal DE you use if you’ve got low powered hardware or if you need a DE on a system that isn’t a personal computer and just need the bare minimum to run a graphical application or two

          it’s the quickest fully featured de, and as an added bonus, it’s the least buggy of them all, it’s also very simple in it’s functioning, fairly close to a diy desktop + wm config, so tweaking random stuff like the compositor is easy to do and doesn’t break everything

    Vanilla Gnome. It’s simple/boring, and I like that. It seems like most people that like Gnome don’t care that it’s not a poweruser DE, and aren’t excited to talk about it either.

    I use gnome, but it’s basically the worst DE, except all of the other ones that have been tried

    It has the least features, so by default the least bugs.

    KDE sets a really high bar with all the packages and extensibility. Almost everything (not including the lesser known and used packages) is feature-packed and just works. I really don’t know any other software that constantly amazes me like KDE.

      In addition to that, they make nice FOSS apps that are great for any DE (see Krita, Kdenlive)

      Also it looks like Windows, and that to me is a huge plus for anyone using my computer.

    XFCE, tried cinnamon a couple times it was okay but I just prefer the simplicity and stability of xfce
