It is absolutely rock solid, you can adapt it to your workflow, whichever it is, change the window manager, have all the panels you want and go back to the default configuration immediately. It is an amazing desktop environment, extremely and easily customizable, because it is modular, and, in the end, it simply works. The default look is misleading.

I am so curious to know the improvements in the new version and see Wayland at work in xfce

Opensuse Tumbleweed. Sometimes I try something else, but Tumbleweed is the one I keep going back to. It is quite solid and rolling release.

Currently I am on KDE, but I am an xfce lover. I can’t wait for the next xfce update and for Cosmic.

I am living KDE almost default. I have the impression that with too much customisation problems come.

Xfce is rock solid and rock solid after customisation too. It is truly amazing.

Gnome needs far too many extension for me to be usable. And so I avoid it.

Cinnamon is great too, but it’s in the middle. If I don’t want to use Wayland, at that point there is xfce.

Look into MxLinux. It is Debian based with lots of noce tools. And as DE you could use KDE.

That is true. And so I am trying to not mess with it, which is a first for me actually😅

Xfce lover here. I tried Cinnamon for a bit and it is impressive, but I then moved to KDE on wayland. It’s better than I thought. I decided to leave it almost not customized, just the panel on top and a couple of widgets. The thing with KDE, for me, is that you can’t not love the developers for all the things they try to do and all the improvements they always bring. It’s an impressive work. So, xfce on xorg and kde on wayland is my way to go. I’m not a fan of Gnome. It looks good at first, but after a bit I realize that simply it’s not for me, not even the way it looks.
