1 、 KDE

When it comes to the Linux desktop environment, you have to mention KDE, and it's fair to say that he is the king of traditional desktops; by contrast, KDE has an advantage in the choice of Linux desktop environments. In recent years, KDE has been ranked as the best desktop in Linux Journal. The development of KDE began in 1996, and the first version was released in 1998. It should be said that KDE is so customizable that you can customize almost anything.

Compared to other desktop environments that require additional tools to customize, KDE is flexible because it has integrated all of this into system settings, so users can personalize their desktops without other assistive tools. It can be said that KDE packages all the basic applications and tools you need, so it is very convenient.

Many popular Linux releases provide KDE. At present, the main Linux distributions that use KDE as the default desktop environment are openSUSE and Kubuntu.

2 、 GNOME

The first edition of GNOME, released in 1999, is a very popular desktop environment with many branches, such as Cinnamon, Unity and so on. Its customization is not as flexible and perfect as KDE, but it can be customized through third-party applications, such as gnome-tweak-tool.

Gnome is the default desktop environment for Fedora. Currently, the main Linux distributions that use GNOME as the default desktop environment are Debian, Fedora, openSUSE and Ubuntu GNOME.

3 、 MATE

The emergence of MATE is a branch of code that GNOME 2 no longer maintains and was originally developed for users who are disappointed with GNOME 3. Now it has also won the favor of many developers.

The advantage of MATE is that it consumes very little resources, so if you have a computer that is not so high-end and runs slowly, you can't go wrong with MATE.

In terms of personalized customization, MATE comes with basic applications copied from GNOME 2 for integration, supporting panel systems, menus, Mini Program, indicators, etc., which can be configured according to user needs.

4 、 Cinnamon

As the default desktop environment for Linux Mint, Cinnamon looks a lot like the Windows user interface, but it is highly customizable and does not require any additional plug-ins, gadgets, or configuration tools to customize the desktop.

Cinnamon was developed from GNOME 3, but it is a little more gaudy than MATE. The user interface similar to Windows makes Cinnamon a choice for some beginners.

Cinnamon is the default desktop environment for Linux Mint, but many other Linux distributions also offer their own Cinnamon style.

5 、 Unity

Unity is the default desktop of Ubuntu, and it is also the desktop where many beginners first came into contact with the role of Linux. It is a desktop optimized for touch control, and its original development purpose is to make full use of the small screen of netbooks. But as we all know, netbooks are not recognized by most users in the end.

Unity, which is also based on the GNOME left environment, was first released in 2010, and as a graphical user interface developed by Canonical, after several major improvements, it can finally be installed on the distribution like other desktops.
