I don’t mean for this to become a KDE vs GNOME post. I’m looking at switching to Fedora (because Arch is a pain), and it seems that GNOME is more supported. I use KDE on Arch. What features would I be losing if I were to switch? (ex: toolbar management, KRunner, etc.)

    I’m not really into the whole “which DE is better” thing. I think if you like one or the other you should just use it and get on with your life

    Totally agree. They behave differently by default, but they are both so customizable that you can make either one behave almost exactly like the other if you want. I like KDE’s defaults a bit more than Gnome’s, and I like Dolphin more than Nautilus, but I could go back to Gnome and be comfortable within a day. I’d need to spend a little time finding the right extensions and then I’d be good.

    It’s not like 20 years ago when there was strong motivation to commit to one ecosystem or another. Back then, running Gnome/GTK apps under KDE was kind of funky, and vice-versa. Nowadays, everything is pretty seamless.
