    I know lots of people love KDE. I haven't tried it yet. I just googled the difference when I was researching distros and chose GNOME because it looked more Mac-like, which is my preference.

    You can have a dock/top taskbar and spotlight-type search easily in KDE. The benefit of KDE is that you don't need third party, unmaintained extensions that break with every second update. Gnome Extensions are critical for even a mac-like experience on Gnome, and you will hate them one day when your programs start randomly crashing.

    If Mac's your bread, gnome is your butter.

    Of course, these days, if Windows 11 is your bread, maybe gnome is your butter.

    I'm one of those crumudgeons that's forever frozen at Windows 95.
