No need to speculate. Every Linux distro I have looked at recently allows the user to install loads of different desktop environments. KDE and Gnome are just the big ones. I use Cinnamon (a fork of Gnome 3 that looks more like Gnome 2) on Linux Mint on my laptop, XFCE on an old netbook also with Mint.
Just pick whatever DE you prefer.
- deaddodo 3y agoSure, but their default is usually GNOME3 these days. And there's always a ton more effort towards making the default work seamlessly. Kubuntu is notorious for having issues trying to fit the "Ubuntu" way and not quite getting it right. (Font/theme issues, primarily) Fedora's KDE spin is pretty decent, but that's mostly because it is bog standard aside from the logo and RPM/dnf integration. Outside of those two, you're better off using a KDE-primary distro in most cases.
