KDE Plasma, as it’s most Windows-like and it has lots of cool widgets to add to your desktop Windows 7-style.
I’ve also tried Gnome, but I found it confusing and honestly a bit annoying. Not being able to properly minimise like I’m used to just really throws me off.
I’ve tried Cinnamon as well. I thought it looked a bit too cheap for my taste, at least by default on Mint.

Gnome Vanilla is really not that good. But with Extensions and Gnome Tweaks its usable. Gnome Tweaks enables the minimize button and Extensions enable pretty much everything one could ask for. I prefer the simplified UI of Gnome to the thousands of options that KDE offers out of the box. But KDE is a really good DE and i used it without problems over a year.

It blows my mind that everyone says KDE is windows-like. I don’t think so at all. At least not what came with Parrot OS.
