It depends on if you like features and configuration options or not. If you don't like features and don't want to be able to set any configuration options, go for Gnome. Otherwise, KDE.
- kermitismyhero 8y agoKDE these days seems like configurability-overload. I appreciate the flexibility but it just feels excessive to me. I think a lot of the options should be tucked away into an equivalent of Firefox's about:config. For me, something like XFCE has the ideal config panel complexity. (Of course, it's all subjective.)
- AdmiralAsshat 8y agoThere are ways that the configuration can be done for you, however. There's a "Use Desktop Layout From Theme" that would pull in any layout changes from a theme you install. When I found out that you could apply a theme and, with a few clicks, have KDE fashioned into something that looks indistinguishable from Unity, I almost switched to it just for the novelty. https://www.addictivetips.com/ubuntu-linux-tips/make-kde-plasma-5-look-like-ubuntu-unity/ https://www.addictivetips.com/ubuntu-linux-tips/make-kde-pla...
- magduf 8y agoKDE could use some work in the design department, with a lot of the menus and UI stuff getting an overhaul, but without actually removing functionality (just moving it around to be more sensible, and not overloading new users with too many options at once).
