POLL – 5 Best Linux Desktop Environments With Pros & Cons

Also thanks to twitter followers.

The post was basically for Newbies who get trouble when choosing DE or turning to Linux from Windows. The list gives an idea of choosing a Desktop Environment based on the factors that I explained. The basic misunderstanding that I found in comments was many readers advanced readers thought the article forces to select only these listed DEs but it was not.

I said there are many other DEs that you can choose even better than the top DE of this list. The basic idea was to select the DE based on your needs and level of knowledge. In my list, KDE was for advanced users who need more customization and looks. The mate was for Medium level users and rest three are familiar with newbies who prefer learning Linux, not desktop customization.

In comments, so many readers mentioned that XFCE is not included but thoughts differ and others have different opinions. Although I accept that XFCE, LXDE are very stable and I said if any one of these DE does not fulfill need then prefer any other. But take care of factors that complete your needs.

There is so much love for XFCE. I can not mention all the comments that Loved XFCE. I did not hope that just a handful amount of people would like KDE in comments. Probably there was one or two who pointed the love for Unity.

But the poll shows something else. KDE has got so much love from readers.
