Gnome, with a lot of KDE applications/utilities. Fedora for server systems, SUSE for the personal laptop. 'The nice thing about standards is that there are so many to chose from' ;)

I don't like Gnome, I can tolerate KDE. I prefer XFCE.

I run Fedora XFCE right now on my laptop. I integrate pretty seamlessly into my work's Windows network. The only time I need my desktop Windows machine is when I have to use The one application that runs on Lotus Notes.

E-mail, Vmware, browsing, IM (tool we use to communicate between departments), everything--all runs fine on Fedora.

Heck I even run a game on Steam, and several on Wine.

I’ve converted from Fedora to Ubuntu for server. I used to be a die hard Fedora fan for server, but Ubuntu is just SO MUCH EASIER TO MANAGE! Fedora’s development timelines are so compressed that the latest version is obsolete in a quarter or even a month.

I was a Gnome fanboy for a while, but once I went to KDE, I was converted.

And, FWIW, Cinnamon can be installed on any Linux distro with little issue. It’s just a shell. Say what you want about Mint, I prefer a little more robust back-end.

I could not figure out KDE, jumped on Ubuntu, moved to Mint and NOW love Korora ( Fedora ).

Can Cut and Paste with abandonment....and remember what I was doing thru power down and boot cycles.
