From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I don't mind the workspaces idea, but I'm just so used to a windows-like philosophy that I just can't adjust easy.
If I had one monitor, maybe gnome would be better. Workspaces could organize myself better. But I have 3, and almost never use other workspaces in KDE. And my mint XFCE laptop isn't a big work machine so it doesn't matter much.
Also I had technical issues on gnome that didn't happen on KDE.
My first distro was pop, and their version of gnome I do like. But I'm not willing to customize it enough to suit myself. I'm more of a "stock experience with small mods" kinda dude. I do enjoy Unix porn but don't have desire to do it myself. That's kinda why I'm not a massive fan of xfce. The default layout is really bad.
Ditto. I've just never found the use for workspaces myself (like, i understand why they're there but they never really worked for me). I tried them, didn't like the flow of it, so i just ignored them (and Gnome for the most part, save Pop_OS, but I've a love/hate relationship with it cuz it's always caused me problems when i try it out. Hopefully the Cosmic Desktop they're making will run better on my systems) in favor of the windows philosophy myself
Agreed on Vanilla/stock XFCE being rough (and i love XFCE), and vanilla Gnome being divisive, but i'm the opposite of you and love to tinker with my stuff--even KDE, which lools good OOTB i can't just leave it alone lol
