Text console or SSH session -- conceivably with a multiplexer like tmux or screen. Give me a desktop environment, whatever it is, and I'm all about "how do I open a terminal window".
None, actually. Last time I used a full blown DE as such was in the KDE3 days. I just pick a good WM (Awesome at the moment, 7 years and counting) and add suitable pieces of software from different DE's.
since switching from Windows over a year and a half ago, I’ve become accustomed to the layout of KDE. But I notice sway being mentioned a bit here. I’m going to have to check that out.
Me and my wife both use KDE both private and in our small company.
On thing that makes KDE special is Activities. I can have different activities for different "scopes" like personal, volunteering, my company, different customers. Each with a set of 6 virtual desktops. Yea, and I do use a lot of desktops to keep focused 😋
Currently it is the Cinnamon desktop as that is the one I use daily. It has been different in the past when I used a different distro instead of Mint. I used Linux Lite and its default desktop for 8 months last year before the switch to Mint. I did not like the Kubuntu desktop when I tried it, and never gave Lubuntu's desktop a lot of time. I don't know what Ubuntu 10.04's desktop was called, it was the first Linux desktop that I liked. I stared on CDE years ago.
it used to be xfce (with linux mint), but now it's COSMIC (shipped with Pop!_OS), which is just beautiful with auto tiling of the windows and Fira fonts pre installed
#Gnome is home. #kde always felt so beta and shabby (I know it's probably better today) so I stuck to Gnome. Currently trying something new with #niri - feels really good, but you immediately feel the advantages of a full-blown desktop env (lots of manual configuring)

Any! Cause Linux feels home for me, something that would not, would be something that isn't owned by myself

seriously though...win11 LTSC and IoT are awesome, all the problems in home and pro are left out of it
it's proof positive microsoft can and does still make a good OS, but won't let regular people have it
