After 2y on Linux I can say with full confidence that switching from GNOME to KDE (for me) is a bigger barrier than switching from Windows to Linux ever was.

I’ve tried a lot to like KDE but I just can’t. I usually see people discussing distros but I feel like picking the right DE makes much bigger impact. I’m yet to try Hyprland though.

Considering the fact that I’m itching to get Steam Frame and VR on GNOME will likely be broken indefinitely, idk what to do.

    The downside of KDE is the millions of options and features. It can get in the way and makes it a little harder to learn.

    That said. KDE is pretty great and currently my favorite.

      Yeah, a lot comes down to how comfortable the user is messing with things.

      KDE starts off looking simple, then start to feel super complicated, and then goes back to seeming very straightforward - all depending on a user.
