I realize I could have made this a shorter list, but I figured I would just include every type I could find. Even if this list includes unpopular DEs, this list could be a neat way to discover new ones.
A good point was brought up here, and I figured I’d create another poll specifically for Desktop Environments as, sometimes, that’s the only difference between two distros.
Other: not really a DE but still nice i3wm

I’ve been planning to try out a tiling window manager.
Would you consider iw3m to be superior to a stacking (not quit esure what you call a non tiling window manager) window manager?
Best one I’ve tried out takes a bit to get used to but it’s really nice once you figured out. It’s especially nice on a laptop IMHO
I’ve tried out i3 and…it’s just amazing!
It’s going to be so hard to use anything else at school now
Next up on the list of things I’ve been meaning to do: swtich to Arch

@LordIllyohs: Have you been able to run Minecraft under i3? I’ve been having problems with lwjgl.
For me I just had to find the right drivers for my Graphics card
The problem is, everything was working fine under Unity.
You forgot Elementary. Gotta say I like deepin but I’m having a bunch of problems with it.
Elementary is a distro, not a Desktop Environment.
Whatever DM they use. Plank?
They use Pantheon, which is the list above.
another other - none. just openbox window manager (on arch)
Today, I learned a lot more people used Cinnamon than I would have expected.
