What desktop environments are you using? (lemmy.world)

Not counting the Steam Deck, since KDE isn't actually turned on while you're running games.

Normally I'm a Gnome guy, but I'm building a tiny low power portable computer and wanting to keep resource utilization low, so I'm investigating other options.

No desktop environment. suckless dwm. xmonad breaks all the time, i3wm is a nightmare with its config and status bar that sucks. dwm has problems, it's not the easiest to customise and stuff.

It's fast though, dmenu is the best launcher objectively, the status bar is something you literally just pass a string to via a script in xprofile.
