Please list a desktop environment or shell for each:



  • a description on why you like or suggest it (features, performance, etc.).

  • a good screenshot, preferably of it running on Ubuntu and showing off some of its features.

  • some instructions on how to set it up if in the repositories, please provide a software centre link
