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?

    I use KDE Plasma on my desktop and GNOME on my laptop — though, by my experience, GNOME has been mildly annoying. I just find it too “restrictive” when compared with KDE. I’m also not super fond of how some apps seem to integrate rather poorly with GNOME. I do think that GNOME’s interface works well with a laptop, but the UX hasn’t been the best for me. I have few, if any, complaints regarding KDE.
