XFCE I find a little tricky to get tiling working right
Just replace xfwm4 with i3wm for example. That and the fact you can use most Xfce tools outside of Xfce is why it's my favourite.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I like Sway, it obviously needs a bit of configuration to be useful, but that's partly what I like about it, and using a distro like Guix (Nix configured with Lisp) makes it easy to have the same settings on multiple PCs. Otherwise I like GNOME; it's well supported and has many good apps. Touch/touchpad support is really good as well.
I never liked KDE in the old days, but now it's the only choice in my mind.
If I had to pick a backup, probably xfce.
I've been an user of XFCE4 for a decade now. It just works, easy to set up, low-resource impact.
Moksha DE is also good one. Budgie feels more bettter for new users than Cinnamon
Whoa, but the comma splice.
Are we doing popularity contests here?
Would openbox count?
80% of the full UI of a proper de but with 30% impact on really slow hardware.
