I use Plasma because I’m literally this, but Cinnamon is what I’d recommend to people who say they want something “familiar looking but that just gets out of the way so you can start using your computer to do shit” – Which ironically is what Gnome purports itself to be.
I mean. Yes. But Gnome 2 was actually good. It was before the Gnome team caught the “cutting out literally everything for seemingly no reason” disease.
Before they started thinking they knew better than everyone else.

I use MATE for this very reason
Plasma fan and aspiring Cosmonaut, though I have Swayed in the past and have a tendency to get Hypr.
Hyprland is pretty cool. Used it for a few montths after I broke my KDE Plasma and couldn’t be fucked to fix it (long story)
This thread is the first time I hear about Cosmic though. Looks interesting in pictures.
