Oh this the distrohopper support group thread, right?
I used many distros, although mostly Ubuntu based: Ubuntu with Gnome 2, Ubuntu with Unity, Xubuntu, Antergos with xfce, Arch with i3, Elementary OS, Ubuntu with Gnome 3 and now Ubuntu Budgie.
I switched away from xfce because of buggy multi-monitor experience (with a portable laptop, worked fine on a desktop where configuration didn’t change).
Arch with i3 was nice but I was tinkering with it too much and I never was satisfied.
Elementary OS looks pretty and has some nice features like Picture-in-Picture but also has a few annoyances, like lsb_release not returning ubuntu base codename, or login screen sometimes getting stuck for minutes.
I like Ubuntu Budgie because it gives me a light, fast Gnome3-like experience and I didn’t encounter any bugs yet. Confuguration GUI is a bit clunky, especially around plugins (or are they called widgets?), to change login sceen image I had to dig through text-based config files… But overall it feels great!
