Let me cut the debate for a lot of people, the best desktop is what YOU like and works for you. Now relax.
Linux
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

The fact that there are so many well functioning options for a DE that this can be an argument, is such a great thing.
At least it's not one of those stupid "reaction face" thumbnails. A clickbait title is easy enough to parse as "not worth my time" but those punchable face thumbnails? Fuck me, the person that started that trend needs to find the nearest running belt sander and start licking.
I appreciate titles that let you know you don't need to waste time watching it.
Is it certified best though?

You know, ... I use PaperWM. I have no idea what those overlapping windows are .. which makes it THE BEST LINUX DESKTOP for me
I just discovered PaperWM a few weeks ago and I'm hooked. I can't switch away from Gnome unless another tiling scrolling WM beats it. I hope someone makes a version of it for Cosmic.
I heard the wayland compositor niri is inspired by paperwm, fyi. Also I doubt that cosmic will be very extendable when it releases, since most components are rewritten in rust and compiled, thus unless they specifically add some sort of scripting support extensions wont happen as easily as on gnome
