Supreme bliss. The alpha and the omega of UX design. The best.
>KDE
It has improved quite a bit since KDE 6. I think it is time for give it a fair shot again. Maybe it can even replace GN--
*krashes*
....
Nevermind. I will stick with GNOME.

i use unity... but if I had to choose between the three, I would choose KDE, because it is well customizable, there is more software on Qt than on GTK, and GTK on KDE looks normal when Qt on GNOME looks terrible.

GNOME is comfortable, might jump ship to COSMIC once it's actually usable

XFCE.
Maybe Omarchy in the near future

LXQt. It's just enough to get WindowMaker working with modern applications.

I don't need DE. I kinda liked Unity forever ago when firefox and other programs had integration for it, but now it's gimped and it's Ubuntu only and Ubuntu nowadays is shittier.

Once it's out of alpha, COSMIC. Right now, KDE.

>Cosmic
usecase?

>GNOME
Every application is themed for Gnome.
Looks good
unusable on Desktop. Need 10 extensions to get it any a usable state. They break on updates.
If relevant: Terrible gaming performance

>KDE
The best of the worst.
Fast, configurable, ugly.

If anyone wants to break the universe we need to combine KDE with GNOME -> KNOMED

KDE just because that's the only real Qt desktop project available, Lxqt is too bare-bones and janky, everything else uses Gtk.
I don't trust Gtk or Gnome because it's RedHat, and I don't trust RedHat because it's a cloud company making a desktop, it won't be long 'til most of Linux is basically just Open-Source Windows
