If you have to pick only one Desktop Environment and use it till your computer breaks, what would you choose? (lemmy.world)

I know Gnome is the default on popular distros: Fedora, Ubuntu, Rhel, Pop OS (it's Cosmic Desktop yes but it is still based on Gnome)...etc. But Gnome just doesnt work for me. I would pick XFCE - stable and no BS.

Before Manjaro and their cetificate shenanigan, I used to use their XFCE version. At the time, it was marketed as the "Flagship Manjaro version". I went 4 years without any problems and I did tinker a lot, just couldnt get their XFCE to break.

After a tough Arch or Gentoo installs, I just want to put XFCE on and call it a day.

What about you guys?

any computer I need to be stable enough for work/school: KDE

any computer whose primary purpose is for goofing off and gaming: LXQt (and I will spend the entire time configuring LXQt instead of gaming...)

    Why not use steam or arch if it's just fucking around? Arch you can at least configure easily.

    tbh hadn't heard of steam and always assumed arch was difficult to learn. but i had been considering trying arch just to see what the hype was about
