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.


It’s very important. I use KDE. Historically I’ve used xfce and lxde. I want something with sane defaults that will let me tweak things. I very much don’t want something that wants to limit you by pretending you’re on a touch device when you’re on mouse and keyboard, or insists it knows better than you what you want
