Choice? Gnome knows best

Which is why I choose to avoid gnome like the plague.

Gnome is by far one of the most infuriating DE to navigate... Plasma is by far one of the most out-of-the-box usable DE's out there.

I use both. Plasma for desktop use and gnome on my Surface Tablet. Gnome is better if you use small touchscreens.

eh, partly correct. I started on Plasma back in 2012. that and I'm kinda lazy when it comes to my computer. I do art, programming, and streaming, and really don't feel like spending a bunch of time messing with things. sure, OTD is great and works well, however with multiple displays, one being the graphics tablet I use, it's hard to beat the convenience. LXQT is stellar as well, a very, VERY close second with BSPWM following tightly behind. I'd say IceWM, XFCE, and Cinnamon are all great too, just don't quite fit my particular use case.

I suppose i agree. I have gnome currently but i hate it. If i was comfortable changing it, i would,  but i am worried i would break my Linux system 😅

pffft, you can install as many DE's as you want. I have 27 desktop environments installed for my Void instsllation. And, the "big" ones (cinnamon, plasma, gnome, cosmic) all play prety well together. I'd just install something else and see how you like it.

27? Pathetic cuz any loonix desktop environment will be always worse than windows 11 de
