Totally scientific, flawless poll.

If you use Linux, pick your *only* desktop environment. You only get one option. There are no other options you can choose from in this poll. Yes I probably ignored your specific favorite but that's not the point. You only get one option and it's one of these. Do not comment with what you want to see, only select one of these. Only one- no other options. There are no other options in this poll for you to choose or tell me about.

Choose one (1):

0% MATE
100% LXQt
0% XFCE
0% Cinnamon

@vkc How serendipitous; the desktop environment that I use the most and have no real problems with is in this poll :D Easy-breezy!

I'm sorry that people can be so ridiculous that you have to pre-empt unhelpful comments to this degree <3

@vkc I am not a native speaker, but am i sensing it right, that this toot is satire on polls with the wording in the text?

@v_d_richards I think your observation is fair!

The joke is that polls often bring out obnoxious responses about what isn't included. And especially so with Linux, where we have so many great choices. It's what I'd call a "tongue-in-cheek" disclaimer in the text, intentionally over-the-top!

The fact is, I just want to know which of these specific four options have preference, as I'm doing research for future topics to cover. :)

@vkc I'm definitely confused why KDE and GNOME were left out. I assume it has to be on purpose?

@vkc Why are you really curious about which one of *these specific DEs* people would choose?

don't limit what you'll talk about to a handful of popular options or no other options will ever become popular

@vkc
Am I allowed to answer if I am not familiar with any of these, and would only be choosing based on vibes from screenshots?

@ianrbuck absolutely. This is a "there are no rules" situation as far as how you choose what you vote for.

@vkc why those four tho? you looking for a no-surprise kinda-lightweight desktop experience? I was doing a similar pick a few months back for my homelab/mediacenter PC

I think XFCE wasn't the best choice UX-wise

@ppxl This is kind of shaking out how I suspected it would, XFCE has a lot of fans.
