Still using Fluxbox.  Still hate desktop icons.
Window decorations are MacOS inspired, using gimp to create a theme in flux format.
This old box has been around for many years, and is still running like a beast (hence the hostname)

Network tray applet is nm-applet.

Volume tray applet is pnmixer.


Not sure I attached the screenshot properly to get a full resolution view, but I have kept the preview within the guidelines. ;)

Like Mark, I have had this Xubuntu desktop for many years. Had Debian before that but didn't like how some packages worked with it.

XFCE is my favorite "larger-sized" DE.  My kid logon for my computer defaulted to XFCE, and before I knew of a flux compatible network manager, I booted into XFCE to make network settings.  I have drifted away from all the terminal stuff I used to do.

I use XFCE on my ArcoLinux (ArchLinux fork) install, too. Used to like MATE, but I've had so many issues with it.

 

I was always with Debian/Ubuntu/Mint, but needed a change..
