What Desktop environment do you use?

[m0rph3us]

I use Gnome on a desktop.
Debian 12.2 Bookworm

I would think the poll should have allowed multiple selection. Or maybe multiple polls? For me it really depends on what the end use is.

My server is command line (but has a web GUI, but that was not a choice). Two clients that are doing specific tasks use WM's. My primary desktop uses KDE Plasma.

I'll admit it. I use Gnome......and I like it.
Though, the first extension I add is the 'no overview at startup'. Just like a clean desk in the morning, I like the un-cluttered look when I first start up. That is one thing I liked better back with Gnome 3.

Our trajectory : Linux Mint > LMDE > now eksklusively Debian with Cinnamon as DE environment .
Never stopped/questioned the OOTB Cinnamon version of Debian .
Nor would I know why ... never had any problems with it .

May i ask what was the reason that have driven you from Mint to Debian?

My apologies: no comment.

@alienspy
The reason why I responded primarily with " no comment " is that I didn't want to provoke a dispute , impugn neither Mint , my Linux school vessel .

It's as simple as that , in my case ( I am not an IT/ICT techie ) on the understanding that this only applies from " Buster " onwards , and our laptops have at least 4 G of RAM and SSD or NVMe hard drives .
With all due respect to those who would not understand my answer ; I fear you do not know what you are dealing with .

I would like to leave it at that ... If You don't mind ?
