For me its KDE.
Personally, I’m a bit torn currently… I’ve mostly used Pop!_OS’s customized Gnome desktop since I fully switched to Linux in 2019, and I am also rather eager to try out their upcoming, Rust-based Cosmic Desktop too.
However, I have come to quite like KDE on my laptop now running OpenSuse Tumbleweed. It’s a fantastic experience, and honestly more distros should ship with it rather than plain Gnome.
Curious what others here say their favorite is though!

Not really a DE, but… suckless’s DWM. I have no idea how they fit a window manager into 20KB AND made it actually usable on the daily
Same. I’m currently in a setup with dwm, rofi and jonaburg-picom, and is the most pleasant desktop experience of my life
The one with the funny mouse logo. (XFce)
Xfce is a good DE, honestly! I’ve used it with custom RPi setups before with good effect.
KDE Plasma Dragonized. (default Garuda Linux desktop)
I’m a KDE guy. It does what I need, has the options I want, and stays out of my way. I’ve used just about everything though. I used to like XFCE and GNOME 2 but it feels like KDE is the most actively developed nowadays, and I can shape KDE to be minimal if needed. With Wayland being the way that it is, it currently feels necessary to stay on the most actively maintained DEs for compatibility.
I use Cinnamon (the one with Linux Mint). I know I could probably be more efficient with other DEs and I’d like to try Wayland, but it does what I need and I’m used to it.
gnome ftw
