I appreciate the cautionary tale. I already had to reinstall. I gave KDE another shot thinking previous issues were from the old Lenovo Yoga or distro I used it with. Unfortunately, that wasn't so. Even though I intentionally took my time customizing the layout, somehow I had some KDE thing crash twice, the main display had shifted to only showing have the page, like it was stuck under the monitor, and after a reboot to fix that problem it had made it so the context menu on the main desktop was not showing all the options.

While I'm not a fan of GNOME, per say, as I am not a fan of Apple style docks for a taskbar, I never had issues with it, so I am using that instead of KDE.
