I agree about Strawberry being a bit much visually. I actually really love Fooyin…

I’ve switched from fooyin back to audacious (for now) because fooyin still claims all file formats for itself. It reminds me a bit of the earlier Nero on Windows.
I used to love kde but am leaning towards xfce these days. at the moment I’m using sway though.

I’m not sure I understand what that means.
If you right-click on any file in Dolphin and then click on Open with, fooyin is always included. It doesn’t matter whether it’s a media format or a document. The bug has been reported, but it doesn’t seem to be important. That’s a deal breaker for me.

I never noticed that. Doesn’t really bother me, though. As far as I’m concerned, it’s just an entry to ignore if it’s not a music file.

For me it all somehow plays a role together, sorry.
I just don’t see why that’s a problem at all. But that’s part of the beauty of Linux… freedom to choose from a wide variety of apps for whatever reason.

Plasma has definitely gotten my attention with the release of 6 onward. I have simple needs and liked GNOME for their simplicity approach. I do understand that it’s more of a devs way or highway thinking with GNOME, but for me it works anyway.
Xfce however is always what I come back to. I’ll spend some time experimenting and trying to setup other DEs to my liking but I always feel at home with my Xfce setup, no matter the distro - which is currently Endeavour but Debian is a very close 2nd for me nowadays.

If KDE ever got their Activities fixed, I might give it another look. But Xfce will always be my favorite. KDE just does too much for a tweaker like me.

I tried KDE which I liked but unfortunately there is a bug where if you disconnect your monitor (I was switching my monitor input from my Linux PC to my work laptop, also the same on a dumb KVM switch) the log files filled up the 160Gb root partition in 24hrs as it was logging multiple screen errors every few seconds and apparently there is no fix. The same happens on Lubuntu with LxQT. I now have a smart KVM with EDID but it lost me all confidence in KDE unfortunately. I was using XFCE but switched to Budgie recently.

I wonder how different it is from the one we did years ago

Why? It would be like polling to see which version of Windows people run, and then saying “poor Windows ME”

Wayland wasn’t even remotely usable yet, now it’s to a large extent usable, the playing field has shifted a bit.
LXQT might actually get some more votes now if more people participated lol, that’s about the only difference.
Don’t mean to start a flaming blaze, and perhaps I’m just missing something, but …
Where are all the i3-wm fans out there?
Can’t imagine having all that other sugary distracting stuff in the way of getting things done. 
I actually have i3 installed, i use it for when shit just won’t work on wayland (so far it’s only been unreal engine editor)
I won’t argue that it’s rough around the edges, just surprised to see it drop to 0% (compared to the linked results)
Correct me if I’m wring here, but i3 is a tiling window manager, not a traditional desktop environment like the ones in the poll question and the topic of this thread.

You are correct according to EOS’s own categorization seen above (with i3 being the “window manager” - not one of the 8 desktop environments).
For my part, I never quite understood the terminology, since it’s not like you don’t have a desktop when using i3… It’s just nice and clean, being ASCII based without the acid trip.
But I stand corrected. Thanks.
