KDE either works flawlessly and one praises it endlessly, or you change one setting and everything crashes at the slightest touch. I'm unfortunately in the latter camp having tried it twice over the years.

My biggest issue was this: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=426644 I've settled on Manjaro GNOME right now because while it's not as customisable as say Cinnamon (which I started having issues with after the latest release - mainly workspace switching gradually grinding to a halt) it seems more stable than KDE.

Don't have the energy to rice XFCE. There really isn't a DE that "just works".

That's not DEs, that's your distro which requires ricing.

If you install, say for example, Xubuntu, XFCE works as much as other linux DEs do.

Of course it may not be just working as much as Windows or macOS does, but that's same with all linux desktop environments.
