What is your understanding of desktop env? Did you mean running the env command?

I don't use a desktop environment currently, but I like GNOME. Right now I'm using the i3 window manager.

No DE - I'm one of the like....6 or 7 Qtile users in the world!
Why? Two primary reasons:
First, I am completely noob. Seeing other people's USE flags range anywhere from almost none to almost all of them is really confusing to me. I like less things to manage and think about, so I went with the minimum I knew I'd be using frequently in many applications. It turned out to be just X.
Second, who has time to go through however many hundreds of USE flags there are to research and make a decision on each one? Not me! I tried, but got burned out after about 20 minutes.
EDIT:
So after reading the reply below, I realized I didn't properly read the OP so didn't use the proper command...

As for the why well...I still don't really know. 99% of that is part of my desktop profile, I would imagine.
My make.conf has grown thusly:
USE="X pulseaudio alsa bluetooth steamruntime"
Again: sticking to a hands-free approach as much as possible. It has been an effective strategy as my machines work well, are faster than ever before, and incredibly stable now, compared to Ubuntu and Winderps

Some people show emerge --info while others show their make.conf USE. The latter is completely useless without knowledge about the profile; profiles make a lot of USE decisions for you which is reflected in the emerge --info output. |
