    I want a clean, advanced, well designed desktop and Im okay with redoing my work flow

    Use Gnome

    Gnome is cool but can it be slightly more Windows?

    Use Cosmic (PopOS)

    I want lots of customization, advanced features, and a traditional windows desktop metaphor

    Use KDE

    I want Windows and don’t really care about customization

    Use Cinnamon

    Dude the Windows 9x look was fucking dope

    Use Mate

    Im installing this on a potato

    Use XFCE

      This is always so unfair to XFCE. Sure it is low impact on resources but it is also very flexible and customizable. Most people sleep on how good it can be outside of the low resources need.

      Just try out multiple desktops in a live environment and see what you like before you commit. In fact, I recommend people to use a linux live session for several weeks or months before switching, just to get used to it.
