I have tried out Gnome, KDE, Lxqt and Xfce on a regular desktop and all of them feel nice. I haven’t tried many DE’s on a laptop.
Are there any particular DE’s you like on a laptop, because of things like power consumption and efficiency that would not come normally into consideration for a desktop?

    I really love the simplicity of dwm (I haven’t quite understood the difference between a WM and a DE). It’s hackable and efficient and just the way it should be. It runs really well on my age old ThinkPad. For more user friendly environments (i.e. desktops which not only I use) and more performant machines, I still use GNOME though.
