I don't hate on gnome because people can use what they want but coming from windows the UX was so unintuitive i had to switch to a different session without a DE to get rid of gnome. I'm sure it's learnable and then depending on your preferences pretty great.

I also don't think plasma is messy though. To me there's nothing worse than a system hiding options out of the assumption that I don't need them (see also: windows over time, which is a big part of why I made the switch to linux in the first place).

    I get that. Personally, as someone who worked on a Mac and had a Windows PC at home, it probably would've been easier to use KDE, since I did need to learn a bit of gnome's ui, but I just found it so much cleaner compared to KDE. Might try heavily customizing KDE again sometime, I just couldn't get the hang of it. At least for now, I can get a nicer desktop for me by using GNOME with minimal extensions than I can with KDE. I don't like the Windows 10 adjacent style, but of course, to each their own. Not to say I find GNOME perfect, the complete lack of usability of custom themes as of gtk3 (Gradience has never actually worked for me) is infuriating, but ultimately I prefer my GNOME setup over what I've tried out in plasma.
