If you have to pick only one Desktop Environment and use it till your computer breaks, what would you choose?

And there was me thinking because it's really good?

It's not though.

Was on KDE 2, KDE 3 was absolutely incredible, ran it on Mac when it was supported on xquartz.
4 was a mess, but got better, 5 & 6 are fine, but it's overall far better than any other DE, it's just so customizable, the only other thing that comes close is xmonad or something.

i have no idea not even sure what a netbook is

There is nothing better than Xfce, if you dont like the desktop, at least Xfce allows you to customize.
KDE seems interesting, but the last time i tried it, 10 years ago more or less, it was a bit buggy. -
I was just joking around, I hope you didn't take it too personally. I've been hearing a lot of KDE enthusiasm lately.
And xfce is great, but it has its pitfalls.
I also get excited about projects, I'm no different.

The most popular de is no good

Use Mate. It is based on the old Gnome 2

I'm running XFCE (but you could do KDE) on my intel Mac, you can get best of both worlds. I heard silicon is more difficult with Linux tho.

I thought KDE was the popular choice to be honest. I feel like all the toolp newish OS are using KDE and the top old OS are using Gnome.

KDE for sure. The modern versions look exactly like how I want a desktop environment to look out of the box, and they keep the full range of customizability that a desktop should, IMO, allow it's users to have. Which is something Windows just kept slowly getting rid of over the years.
I also prefer to have a taskbar that is ever present with a traditional start menu that's cleanly organized by category rather than the current full screen pop up "activities" search thing gnome does nowadays.

Much like Windows.
