Mate is pretty good.

Cinnamon DE is great.

i3wm or ratpoison tho frfr

plasma DE is really nice though; and I use that on my artix install. Love it. It's like windows but it doesn't suck

I actually like Plasma a lot as well out of the Linux desktop environments, it feels like the only one that actually cares about design and UX. It's a shame that GNOME is the 'default' Linux DE and often the only one with real support from distros.

That's one of the things that I really can't understand. Gnome is awful and the people who work on it are so out of touch with what users actually want.

Plasma understands that; as well as PLENTY OF OTHER DEs but your casual linux observer just thinks "wow gnome looks ugly" and it does, it always has, i still have absolutely no idea why anyone would roll a distro out with that... mess.
