It depends on what you want out of a DE, I guess. I prefer minimalist window managers (evilwm!), though the wayland team seems hell-bent on breaking them.

XFCE, LXDE, etc, are OK compromises, since they let you configure wifi graphically out of the box (they are similar to windows before the whole windows 8 thing). Current KDE is surprisingly good too. I get the impression all of those will continue to work for a long time.

Anyway, the worst thing about MacOS is the window management. It's ridiculously buggy. Just the other day, I couldn't find one of my VS Code windows with the mouse or keyboard. I had to go to the "Window" menu and click on it to get it to open.
