I just switched from GNOME to Xfce after many years of the former. I had enough after some extensions broke for the millionth time. And the amount of resources used was bonkers. Currently working on setting up Xfce to my liking
Arch Linux
The beloved lightweight distro
I always liked XFCE cuz I was a sucker for gnome2 back in the day, more recently tho I have found myself on KDE, it seemed the most polished and feature rich lately. However, I admittedly don’t use Linux on desktop anymore, most of my Linux usage nowadays is just my servers.
I'm currently using Gnome, but I'd like to switch to a tiling WM at some point
KDE on Wayland or sway. Thinking about trying hyprland somewhere soon.
Trying GNOME from time to time, without installed mutter-performance from AUR it is piece of lagging sh*t.
Desktop - KDE
Laptop - Gnome
I use Xfce on my computers except my Pi where I use Window Maker. Window Maker with its lower resource needs really helps when the Pi is used with resolutions over 1080p.
I have been using Arch+KDE plasma for ~5years on my main rig, I love it!

Hyprland window manager on my PC and laptop at the moment, but I might switch (back) to KDE soon for some QoL stuff and bc why not lol
I've been using KDE, GNOME for a short while to see where they are in usability. Got bored and started using hyperland setup for a few months now. I was also using i3 for years before thag.
qtile and picom. It took some getting used to but I never want to leave the luxury of dynamic tiling.
AwesomeWM and KDE as a fallback when I mess my configuration.
Gnome for 10+years... Across a variety of PCs... Intel NUC, mac pro 13, several dell laptops, and dell XPS 9560 and 9570 ATM.
Qtile
i3 user here! ;)
XFCE with the WM replaced with Openbox. Ask me about my Openbox keyboard bindings for window moving and resizing :)
I kind of want to try KDE again, but I still feel it's too laggy, at least on my machine with intel graphics.
I'm always returning to cinnamon, but was on Bungie for awhile
I'm not an Arch user (I stayed in Fedora because convenience at the time), but I use Qtile these days. I have my own little scripts for making the colorscheme the same as the wal colorscheme.
I recently switched to hyprland, love it!
I am a die hard Cinnamon guy. I used to like MATE and then I played with Linux Mint for a short while and Cinnamon became my thing. Cinnamon works really well in Arch too. I just wish that its window manager, Muffin, would support Wayland. I really want to drop xorg like a bad habit.
I enjoy gnome with the arcMenu extension https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/3628/arcmenu/ I will include usually some other extensions, but arcMenu is what makes the experience a lot better than the stock one for me.
