I would, but I just don't use my home desktop enough to get used to anything too esoteric. I'd never remember the keyboard shortcuts and such. I just need to run some GUI utility programs, manage files, launch some (Steam, GoG) games, and manage simple network file sharing (Samba mostly). Anything else (and some of those things, to an extent) I can do from the command line. At work and at home I do Real Work™ on MacOS, so that's where I spend ~95% of my computer time. If I started using Linux desktops most of the time again, I'd go back to what I found to provide the best experience: minimal everything, and manual config of practically the whole system past the base OS (and even some of that). So yeah, i3 or similar would be a likely choice, and probably Arch or Gentoo for the distro (used to love Gentoo).
