So Ive been on Fedora with KDE for over three weeks now. Its good. I like it. I started dabbling in Linux last year with a Mint / Windows 11 dual-boot setup. After some consideration, I decided to fully switch to Fedora to make better use of my cutting-edge modern hardware (though I think Mint is great for older hardware).

The other main reason I switched to Fedora with KDE is that one of my best friends works in IT and has been using Fedora for over 10 years. Having someone just a phone call away who can help me troubleshoot is awesome. Overall Im really happy with the Fedora system. Ive tested over 50 games and all of them run pretty much straight out of the box on Steam.

I mainly use this machine for gaming, but I might try my hand at content creation in the future. If you have any input or tips, feel free to share them with the class ^^

KDE is great! I used Latte Dock before that got unmaintained and basically with the use of panels and other cuztomization stuff, my KDE just looks like a GNOME ripoff but also MacOS themed (don't ask me why, I just thought it'd looked cool). KDE is honestly a big good project that encompasses the floating window space that's general so you can style it however you want.

Since we're all Linux users here.. I use Arch btw (hah, well.. EndeavourOS technically..?)

I enjoyed my time with cinnamon on mint (and cinnamon is very easy to customize) but the customization options with KDE feel legit endless. Mind you I do think basic KDE is already a pretty nice desktop environment

I've been using gnome for a long time now on several different distros, I'm now on Fedora with gnome but all of the KDE hype lately has me wondering if I should give it a try. I've been trying to avoid switching just because of FOMO, but trying new stuff can be fun... Maybe I'll try it out on an old laptop or something
