As a beginner I mainly focused on Cinnamon, XFCE and GNOME but want to try out a windowing DE on a VM to get a feel for things.
What window manager DE would you recommend to a first timer that doesn’t use tiling DEs?
There seems to be pretty popular ones like i3 and hyprland.
I was also hoping if some wm’s still have a task bar as I am comfortable using that to keep a traditional style as I come from a long line use of Windows as well (starting from the XP era)
Thank you if you have any recommendations, it is good to branch your horizons a bit!
Do you know what your problem is?
I’m not asking in a rhetorical way, I actually mean: what is the problem you are trying to solve?
If any DE you’ve tried works just fine, then just stay with it. There is no point in trying to get in with a specific clique here. Just use whatever works for you. If you find a specific need for something, THEN start looking around.
