I had tried Plasma 5 in the past and I just don’t think I put enough time into figuring out how to customize it. It wasn’t as intuitive to set up the desktop layout as Cinnamon was. Wanted to test it out when KDE6 came out and loved it. Switched from Endeavour back to Mint due to some instability on Arch (a couple kernel updates broke bluetooth which my mouse and keyboard are both bluetooth) but wanted to get back with KDE so testing out Tuxedo. It’s really nice thus far.
I could never get along with GNOME. Everything feels too on rails. If you want the workflow that GNOME has, it’s fantastic. But if you ever want to go outside of what they have set up, it constantly feels like you’re forced back to their style.
