I’m relatively new to the linux space, I was introduced by the steam deck which uses kde, and it’s pretty similar to windows in terms of how it works so that’s the DE i’d be leaning towards when I eventually switch. I’ve never used gnome so i’m not sure if it’d be worth using I guess?

So I’m just looking for some input from the community, do you use Gnome or Plasma, why do you use it, and what’s kind of like a pros and cons kinda thing between the two?

        GNOME’s minimalist so not sure what else to show. Technically, I shouldn’t have icons on the desktop I guess.

        I have the overview (forget the actual name) on super, which is similar to GNOME’s. And also have the virtual desktops set up to horizontal only with some similar keyboard-based shortcuts for switching.

        I wanted to try the “one application per desktop” paradigm, which I did and didn’t really like it, so I went back to regular alt-tabbing + overview switching but left the layout alone.
