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.

    Like others have said, it’s very dependent on work flows and personal preference.

    I dislike the MacOS interface. Gnome and its derivatives aren’t that, but it borrows enough design cues that I don’t find it intuitive. (Though I recognize why other people do find it intuitive.)

    Most other DEs jive with me. I can effortlessly switch between Plasma or XFCE. I like Enlightenment and LXQT, but generally don’t go for them first. Cinnamon is fine, but I like most others more.

    I like to play with things. I’ll get my hands on a beat-up old laptop, try a few distros and desktop environments on it, then find it a new home. Linux makes it great to experiment like that.
