      You’re making assumptions. I’ve used GNOME since 2008, with extensive use of KDE and Cinnamon too in later years. I’ve used other DEs such as XFCE for niche applications. KDE - for me - has always been buggy despite being the most feature rich. This is just my experience. You don’t have to trust me.
