I have tried out Gnome, KDE, Lxqt and Xfce on a regular desktop and all of them feel nice. I haven’t tried many DE’s on a laptop.
Are there any particular DE’s you like on a laptop, because of things like power consumption and efficiency that would not come normally into consideration for a desktop?

    sway, the i3 clone for Wayland. I’m really happy with it, even on my Intel iGPU + Nvidia GPU laptop.

      Same! A lot of people feel restricted with 13" screens on laptops. Not with Sway for me, having a way to tile windows makes it so usable.

        Exact same experience with me I was doubtful about tiling managers because my laptop being 13 inch but poople in the Sway subreddit told me it is worth it and it really is. You can utilise your screen space so much better.
