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

I'm switching between Arch and Manjaro, but I'm using mostly Gnome. Recently I had some weeks with KDE, but since Evolution is not well integrated, I'm using Gnome now again. Kmail is uncomfortable and total illogical for me. I don't get it to work the way I need it. Maybe the redesigned Thunderbird changes my mind, but there was a lot illogical other workflows on KDE on top. So I think I stay with Gnome or switch to XFCE.
