Mint. Cinnamon is weird. I've had more problems and weird glitches with Cinnamon than any other DE. And it looks like it's straight out of 2004. That's why I'm a KDE junkie on KDE Neon now.

Yeah Mint is really ancient, not shitting on the Devs but everybody is moving to Wayland. While they keep their old project that runs only because of nostalgia. Opensuse TW is better than Neon. The latter is used for testing dunno why people keep using it

As a KDE junkie, I'd still choose Cinnamon as the backup.

And I'm sitting here not understanding why people like KDEs' looks so much.

But then again, looks don't matter when you can theme everything. Nightfox Dusk with Tela Purple icons is a banger

I like a pretty much stock with tweaks KDE, personally. Nice and simple, utilitarian, but not necessarily minimal.

I've never really cared for the MacOS visual style though.

I shouldn't really care, but I may have to change DEs if I get a new high refresh rate monitor.

I'm currently using EndeavourOS with XFCE, so Wayland is a No. Could become a problem. Kinda is a problem already, because I'd like to overclock my main monitor to 75Hz, whereas the second one can only run 60.

Last time I tried to get Wayland on KDE a few months ago, it was a bit of a pain to get it working properly and then it was pretty buggy. Admittedly this was months ago, on Nvidia, and regular updates on making it better have been coming pretty consistently.

They've recently made some changes to the style that make it a lot more modern, mostly switching to the papyrus icon pack and making the accent colors more saturated.
