A few months ago I switched to gnome since it supports hidpi and fractional scaling, and it's snappy enough but somehow feels bloated in everyday use (ubuntu 20.04). I tried to switch back to xfce with a recent fix for fractional scaling, but it looked fuzzy on my screen no matter the resolution, so I had to abandon that for the time being. KDE was the default at my work and I've used it for many years, probably over a decade. The article says gnome is lighter, but that's not my impression, or maybe I'm missing something with gnome?
