It's hard to go back after Sway/I3 with pywal coloration, when everything is so sluggish in comparison. It's amazing to see gnome and KDE adding like a second to launch/quit of common applications. Tried hyprland, but animations seemed choppy (beefy AMD desktop), has that changed?

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.

COSMIC. I was using Hyprland before but I wanted to try the alpha. I found it stable enough for my use-case so I stuck with it
Plasma, because I want things to Just Work(TM) and the customizability and modernity are neat. I like right click --> pin to top/bottom as well.
I settled on Cinnamon after jumping around a bit. I do still like Gnome though even if both are fairly bulky DEs.
At the moment, my main machine is on KDE because it has very good Wayland support and isn't Gnome. I prefer Cinnamon
I have an i3 and a hyprland installation.
I like tiling wms but Wayland still has some annoying issues so I like having the more stable i3 installation on my main computer.
Currently I use gnome cosmic because of PopOS, integration and stuff. When I get around using Arch I'm certainly gonna get myself Plasma, because it's pretty af
I use herbstluftwm. The configuration is straightforward and it fits my minimal needs.

I'm currently using Cinnamon because I thought it would be better than Xfce. While I do think that Cinnamon looks better, there were some minor things that I preferred with Xfce. I want to try Mate and maybe some of the other DEs if I can find a good distro that has them but I may go back to Xfce the next time I install Linux Mint.

Cosmic, just trying it out because i liked the extensions system76 made for gnome, and cosmic DE is more native experience of that.
Cinammon cuz I didn't knew it doesn't like kde plasma and now I am too lazy to change it fora bit of time.
I use KDE plasma 5 atm and i planning on an upgrade to 6 soon; but it's my daily driver so I've dragging my feet on it for a couple weeks now.
What happened when tried troubleshooting those problems you had?
