Besides tiling window managers (bspwm and i3wm), I have mostly used the Cinnamon desktop environment for the past five years.
I am exploring MATE and XFCE more now. I used to use Ubuntu MATE, but haven't really "daily driven" XFCE.
If you had to choose between the two, what would you prefer for a Linux or BSD desktop environment:
#Linux #BSD #MATE #XFCE
