I know there isn’t an objectively correct answer to this question, and I’m not asking for the “party line” - I just want to hear everyone’s opinions (and the inevitable arguments had in good fun, of course).

Plasma. Or at least it is for me, your opinion may differ.
Yeah same here, I’m a tinkerer so Plasma is perfect for me. No shade to anyone who uses GNOME or whatever else though, I like that we have options for everyone.

I like Plasma best, followed by Xfce and Cinnamon. I can’t stand Mate or Gnome.
Not Gnome
Why?
I’ve just never enjoyed using it
Not to soud rude, but how is your “best DE” thread different from thousands of other “best DE” threads where everyone already gave their opinion? There’s plenty of “opinions” on “best DE” online.
ez nuts
The one you build yourself around a WM
Not a popular opinion for Linux shillers, but I love GNOME. It’s quite simplified but does most what a normal person could want. And Gnome extensions can do basically anything a power use could want.
I think its main criticisms largely stem from saying it’s not very "Windows"y.
tmux
That’s… not a DE.

idk… i think we can, at least, declare it a WM. tmux is quite possibly my favorite thing ever.
I use tmux for ssh sessions. Still have a DE on the main system, though. Running tmux with tmux would be wild.
I suppose as terminal Cool Stuff goes, it is pretty neat. And tbf, you probably don’t need a more full featured WM or DE if you’re just going to use it to open and tile a few terminal emulator windows anyway.
Let me guess, you’re a massive terminal junkie?

That’s… a joke.
For me vanilla gnome is the best DE because of the thoughtful design it has. I rarely use any extensions because I like the way its workflow is designed out of the box (though sometimes I’ll use blur my shell to feel stylish).
Cinnamon
Wow no one’s said emacs yet
clearly that is because emacs is an OS and not a DE…
KDE if you have enough resources, ratpoison if you like a minimalist tiling WM.
PS: KDE does Quick Tiling
I got stuck with COSMIC for now after someone made a thread on @libre@hexbear.net how COSMIC is bullying Gnome.
