I enjoy LXDM, the GUI for #!++.
Nothing but two desktops and a 'start menu' of sorts that pops up when you right click any empty space that isn't toolbar. Also has an entire list of hot keys listed on the right side of the desktop. I've converted some people from Windows to LXDM without any trouble or hiccups at all.

also, you can share that tweak that you did for windows.

There was no Windows tweak. I was just saying that I got people who'd never used anything but Windows XP/7/10 to switch over to a Debian distro and they didn't complain one iota about the UX being different, and even liked having two desktops.
Hell, a few of them started learning XML so they could modify the right-click menu and add shortcuts to newly installed applications.

This is an old thread, but if anyone is still looking at this, the difference is that xfce is super lightweight but ugly, Gnome looks decent but is super heavy, and KDE (at least KDE Plasma) is lightweight and pretty. There are reasons to use each one, but if it isn't obvious, I think KDE is the best of the three

As to what Oni has stated, XFCE is personally the best.

I've pretty much tried all the desktop environments i could find on Linux. Each of them have their pros and cons i guess. Right now i settled down on a KDE running a tiling manager kwin script (like i3 but no i3). I like how you can very easily customize everything on KDE and even set blurs or transparency (if youre into that sort of thing).
