i do like KDE Plasma.. and i use it on my laptop because there are some random
things you do with laptops that you just don't do with a desktop.. mainly a
variety of screen mirroring, flash drive swapping, internet troubleshooting
(cat5 cord direct to router) sort of shenanegans that i just don't want to
"taint" with having to tinker with linux.. nothing worse than futzing with
xrandr and mount while your friends wait patiently, just to watch a movie.

for my main desktop though, http://kirin.dcclost.com/~alex/fsx_rc.png

basically stripped to the bones :) and very much how i remember linux as a
sort of pick-and-choose random pile of software
