Linux

I use herbstluftwm. The configuration is straightforward and it fits my minimal needs.

I use KDE plasma 5 atm and i planning on an upgrade to 6 soon; but it's my daily driver so I've dragging my feet on it for a couple weeks now.

What happened when tried troubleshooting those problems you had?

I have numerous machines and use several. On my main, KDE because of all the customization. Widgets, window styles, colors, themes etc. It's really like exactly how I want for maximum efficiency and productivity.

I've got gnome on my hybrid notebook and my transformer pad because gnome with Wayland is amazingly compatible with touchscreen.

I have one machine running Elementary which has the Pantheon DE it's kinda like Gnome with modifications.

And finally, I have an older system so just for efficiency, LXQt.

I do enjoy trying out different ones and especially more esoteric ones that I occasionally come across.

What broke with tracker3 ?

KDE, because I'm too lazy to switch back to XFCE, which offered every feature I already use in KDE except without the stuttering, the bugs, and the update cycle that breaks things way, way too often on a rolling release distro.

Or openbox. My old laptop has openbox, but that's more for screwing around with EWW than doing day-to-day things.

Gnome and Cosmic. Gnome 'cause of simplicity and Cosmic because of Rust.

!I am a Rust programmer and I love this language!<

GNOME because it's the only good option that looks modern and has proper development. Excuses of KDE fanboys that GNOME team makes weird decisions are not accepted.
