Which desktop environment or WM do you use?

I don't know if it has been asked before, I actually use Cinnamon.

I use i3. It is light and it blends into my workflow so perfectly I forget I am using a WM at all.

Is Compiz a WM? I thought it was a backend for others.

Mostly I use icewm. But also xfce.

KDE4 with kwin_gles instead of the default kwin.

Guess I'll toss in the obligatory MATE vote. Although I do have installs using KDE, LXDE and some others from time to time. Probably need to give XFCE a re-spin. Has been a few years.

KDE on my main laptop and on my HTPC, and Xfce on a couple of older laptops.

Started out with gnome 1.* and early 2.*.
Went to xfce but didn't like the fact that they were aligning themselves too closely with gnome.
Next was lxde (good suite) but decided that I didn't really need a suite or DE.
So now I'm on openbox with lxpanel. Works for me.

Fluxbox. Without bells whistles and other shineys.

Fluxbox with lxpanel

I use icewm, and have xfce for my wife.

It looks to me as if icewm has pretty much languished, but I haven't taken time yet to find an alternative. I played with E17, but none of the nifty E add-ons worked, and it acted like a slightly glitchy window manager for me, so I tossed it.

KDE here since KDE3.4. Before that the gnome that came with the first Ubuntus, but there was much I didn't like about the UI Design of the gnome project.

Used some fluxbox and openbox on the side but never got warm with it. I need the comfort and ease of a full DE.
I am also using Lxqt (btw@TO: razor-qt is now lxqt and lxde is dead) together with most KDE Apps on an old Acer aspire one that is too weak to power a full KDE.

E17, until something better comes along.

FVWM-Crystal most of the time, Window Maker on the kitchen computer, and I'm going to install a PC for my dad with LXQT.
