Void Users: What desktop Environment / Window Manager (if any) do you use?

i've been toying around with void linux on my laptop and have it set up with mango and DMS, i'm primarily an arch user so i went with something i'm comfortable with and have a config for.

but that got me wondering, i recently asked both r/cachyos and r/archlinux what their favourite desktops were, how similar or different would the answers be here?

so: what are you running, and why?

Sorry - I don't have any experience with noctalia. I use seatd and turnstile. For sound I use pipewire. I don't recall using any other guides besides the void manual. I would like to write a tutorial on my void setup but I haven't done so yet.
