I've dabbled with Linux over the years, first with Ubuntu in the early 2010s, then Elementary OS when that dropped, and a few years ago I really enjoyed how customizable the gui was with Xubuntu. I was able to make it look just like WIndows 2000 which was really cool....
Currently I am using Cinnamon with Debian and quite like it. Previouly I enjoyed XFCE, espacially on slower laptops. Never really liked GNOME or KDE Plasma though. GNOME has too many animazions and feela slow. At the same time its not very customizable. KDE on the other hand fells slow as well and though it is kind of fancy it seems not to be my taste ans I did not like the way you customize either. That ia not so important to me anymore. So please don't read from this that Cinnamon or XFCE would be great for customization. I would not know it.
Which distro has the best GUI in your opinion?
