    I particularly like Cinnamon, it’s very simple and nothing fancy (while still looking great and modern).

    The other popular choices include:

    • Gnome
    • KDE (customizable to hell)
    • XFCE (very easy on resources, good for old hardware, or if you like simplistic DE)
    • LXDE (similar to XFCE in the resources department, but looks more modern, IMO)

    There are others, but I can’t speak for them as I’ve never tried them. I can’t really describe modern Gnome as well, because the last version I used was 3 and it doesn’t look at all as the same DE, so someone else will have to provide that info.

      modern gnome is simpler to learn and more polished than basically all other DEs. i think its better for someone that wants something new and for people who just started using a computer, because of just how easy it is to use. its not good if youre switching from windows or mac and want something similar.
