Why do you need "every major and minor desktop environment under the sun"? I run CentOS desktops/laptops since 5.3 and even rebuilt 70+ packages for it, even Skype rpm.
All I need for work that feeds me is one good work environment and that is MATE.
In France we call this "voir midi à sa porte". See noon at your door.
I'm a die-hard KDE user, but over the years, I've probably used every DE/WM under the sun (my first one was WindowMaker on Slackware 7.1).
Discussing "best DE/WMs" is probably as pointless an exercise as discussing the respective merits of soccer clubs or motorcycle brands.
Ohh, I am not openig that can of worms :-) Just like Windows Clasic on Windows 200/XP/7, I liked Gnome 2 on Linux, and logical move, closest thing after Gnome 2 was dropped, was MATE. Shiny icons, transparency and smooth menu's are things I disable because they distract me from actual work. Any DM that fits my work demands I will use without complaining.
If you like Cinnamon, your best bet is probably Mint. On the other hand, KDE users are probably better off using OpenSUSE or Neon.
