This Cohost situation sounds pretty unfortunate, having been done in by Stripe changing their policies.
Listen, and I mean this sincerely, what if we started paying attention to online payment systems that aren't gatekept by a handful of processors?

I realize this may start a border war, but -
I've been using XFCE on Debian because it's straightforward and comes packaged with the distro. I like it for the most part, I just haven't had much incentive to try anything else. I have GNOME on my Ubuntu machine, again, because it's there and it seems fine (though I like it less than xfce).
I keep hearing about other desktop environments tho and clearly folks have strong opinions.
Would love to hear - is there an easy summary of what each major desktop environment is good for? i.e., if I was thinking about trying something new, what should I be thinking about or looking into?
I'm specifically interested in:
* FOSS
* well-maintained
* compatible with Debian and Ubuntu distros
