Desktop Environment Tierlist

Used

Gnome 40> - Really clean and modern, runs well if you have good hardware, support is amazing
Aero - I still use windows deal with it
Cinnamon - Old Reliable, really well optimized, runs well on older hardware
KDE Plasma - Its all or nothing imo, but its hard to theme and its so picky like wtf
Budgie - Ubuntu Budgie ruins it for me, solus is based
MATE - 1.26> has made me enjoy it, extensions are mid, but existent. Ubuntu Mate's software boutique is amazing,
Gnome <3.38 - Kinda boring now tbh, feels outdated somehow, still reliable
XFCE - Super customizable, literally runs on everything
Pantheon - Gotten loads better extremely quickly, limited by imitating MacOS and limited tray and access things imo.
Deepin - QT Based, Never used it in the long term but it looks pretty
i3wm - hard at first, but once the ricing is finished its cool (never finished configuring it but I have a basic understanding of it)

LXQT / LXLE - Basic, Quick, Wont break, will run on laptops from 2010 (i think and i would hope so)

UKUI - I think I would like its just hard to install and run
DWM - Suckless, more like SuckMORE, (from what ive seen, rices are probably based)
AWM - Usually brushed of when i look at it, rices are probably also based
Unity - I did not know what linux was in the year 2016
