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?

    I use XFCE. If their Wayland support isn’t ready when openSUSE Tumbleweed eliminates support for x11, I’m not sure what I’ll go to.

        Wayland is now default, you have to add a few x11 packages to have an x11 login now. Also SE Linux Enforcing by default.
