what do other people use and like?
KDE Plasma.
I like having the best tools at my finger tips and KDE has that. A few
example follow; by no means a complete list:
Best file manager since OS/2's FM/2. File selection addition and
removal with single click: no need to ctrl+click.
Best console / terminal (konsole), supporting mouse-hover on file paths
for previews, etc.
Virtual desktop "overview" feature to see & manage my applications and
virtual desktops by moving my mouse to a "hot corner" - I still miss the
visuals of "desktop cube" but this is actually more useful.
And, of course, KDEconnect to integrate my phone into my desktop,
allowing me to:
* send files seamlessly between devices
* share clipboard contents
* get notifications on desktop of phone events (incoming calls, SMSs,
etc.), mute incoming calls, pause media when calls come in,...
* reply to SMSs from the desktop
* allow my computer keyboard to be an input device for my phone
* "find my phone" by ringing it
* see phone's LTE connectivity, battery status, etc. from desktop
* open web pages I'm viewing on desktop directly onto phone
* etc.
I like the enormous amount of configurability, but one does not have to
tweak all the options.
It's fast and lighter weight than ever before.
I have an old computer, but can still afford a few CPU cycles to make my
UI/UX beyond pleasant. Runs quickly, looks great.
My 2 cents.
