• KDE is the best if you want customize without editing yaml or xml or you just new to Linux
• XFCE, LXDE, MATE, & CINNAMON are the best if you have very old system but still want to have some customization.
• I3, SWAY, & OPENBOX are the best if you feel need little bit challenge to customize
• NO GUI (CLI) is the best if you feel DE is bloat or systemd is bloat or wanna feel like Hollywood movie hackers

KDE has a really nice suite of applications and utilities. No other desktop environment really compares on that level (and Amarok is back!).

XFCE &etc are also good if you are running lightweight hardware (not just old hardware) but still want a desktop environment.

CLI is best for servers and remotely managed/headless systems.

and Amarok is back

Was Amarok gone?

I used to use it maybe 16-17 years ago even though I used GNOME rather than KDE. It was the best music player I’d found on Linux.

I’m finally switching back to Linux so I’ll have to try it out again! These days I usually use Plexamp though.

Development was dead for years, so dead that it wasn’t included in new release repositories

Clementine was a fork that was pretty good, but I think had more ambitions than active developers.

Strawberry later forked from Clementine and is still being developed, and they’re doing well, but they aren’t building on the KDE framework.
