My take: GNOME 3: if I would not use Xfce that could be a good candidate Xfce: very kind with resources, no fluff, my windowing environment the last 4-5 years now. Enlightenment: I used it in the past and liked it, but it needs more resources than Xfce. Windows 10: compared to Linux I like how easy it is now to copy paste stuff between command line shells, or Power Shell. MacOS: I try to stay away from it to oppose their walled garden principle. I also cannot stand some historic things like how the window menu is always on the monitor top header, or like how a regular user haphazardly sizes windows all over (which is what I see most of the time and the traditional) instead of maximizing them or having them divide the workspace. I don't even mention how closed source is it, and Apple's disgusting lobbying against right to repair. I cringe every time when I think about that I had to get a MacBook so I can build an iOS app. You can build an Android app on any OS you choose. It's pukingly disgusting how closed their eco-system is and unfortunately especially in California or I see in many conference now even more than half of the software engineers are no iSheeps. I wonder if anyone uses newer like Linux Mint with Cinnamon (Muffin (a fork of Gnome3’s Mutter – as Cinnamon is fork of Gnome3).
