I've been using windows, Macos and KDE extensively.
I by far prefer KDE.
I think things work pretty much as well on Linux/KDE as they do on Mac/win. The apple mantra "it just works" is just not true.
With Linux/KDE I get extensibility and can make the platform streamlined to my use cases. That said, it's not perfect, but the amount of wtf/day is less on Linux for me.
One simple example is the file dialog that is a disaster in gnome and Macos. Windows so so, KDE it's good.
The goal to simplify things for end users that runs deep on Macos and gnome I think makes things more unusable than simple and clear.
The quick navigation between windows is another example where I really don't understand how people can work efficiently on Mac. On Linux I can easily jump between windows, have virtual desktops with organised applications.
On vanilla Mac you have cumbersome keyboard navigation and have to switch to one app before you can switch to the right window of that app.
I'll stop ranting now.

KDE on Wayland is shipping in Bullseye now. But Debian's old system of choosing a window manager, /etc/alternatives, only appears to work for X. No clues under /usr/share/doc, no one on IRC #debian has a clue either, and I'm right out of ideas. Sadly my HDMI port works only on Wayland, not X. So unless I can get KDE working, it's Gnome3 for me. Gnome3's titlebar and I aren't compatible.
