The main reason it took me so long to use Linux as my main OS on desktop was because Gnome is the default DE on the Debian based distros I tried.

The day I discovered KDE is the day I switched to Linux as my main OS on desktop.

It works, it's functional, it's a bit _nerdy_... Exactly what I want in a DE.

Meanwhile, Gnome always felt like a low-cost version of MacOS.

I'm glad we have options so everyone can find what they are looking for!

I'm just mad at myself for not finding out about KDE before. It's 100% on me.
