I wanted to get a feel for everyone’s thoughts on desktop environments (or window managers if you don’t use a DE). I’m new to Lemmy, so apologies if this is too low-effort a post.

Personally I’m running KDE on my main computer, but I have an Arch virtual machine I use for more experimentation. That VM has seen KDE, i3, and will probably see hyprland at some point soon

KDE on Mandrake/SuSE back when they were on version 1/2, GNOME on Debian/Ubuntu until 2016, a little bit of Enlightenment for the quirky days, XFCE instead of Enlightenment when I had to do actual work on a lighter machine, and now have been using GNOME daily for 4-5 years. For me it's customizable enough, and I prefer the design to KDE these days (KDE has too many different margins and paddings for me to handle).
