After 2y on Linux I can say with full confidence that switching from GNOME to KDE (for me) is a bigger barrier than switching from Windows to Linux ever was.
I’ve tried a lot to like KDE but I just can’t. I usually see people discussing distros but I feel like picking the right DE makes much bigger impact. I’m yet to try Hyprland though.
Considering the fact that I’m itching to get Steam Frame and VR on GNOME will likely be broken indefinitely, idk what to do.
Yeah - I’ve even seen people recommend switching distros just because another has a different default DE without understanding that most distros let you install multiple DEs…
The differences between distros aren’t as big as people make them out to be*. Mostly just installer, how packages are managed, what versions of packages you get, etc.
