I’m relatively new to the linux space, I was introduced by the steam deck which uses kde, and it’s pretty similar to windows in terms of how it works so that’s the DE i’d be leaning towards when I eventually switch. I’ve never used gnome so i’m not sure if it’d be worth using I guess?

So I’m just looking for some input from the community, do you use Gnome or Plasma, why do you use it, and what’s kind of like a pros and cons kinda thing between the two?

    well, living room, it’s a single-room-dwelling type of situation. but yeah, move the chair out of the way and browse Jellyfin. I’ll post an image in a minute or two when I clear out the desk, kinda embarrassing with the amount of random crap on it.

    edit:

    the macbook is unrelated, a recent acquisition and in the process of being tamed for Fedora.

    it’s a n-th hand monitor I got five years ago from some junker who fixes and resells used TVs, he got it by mistake and was super-apologetic for the “missing” remote; it’s a monitor, it ain’t got none of those. also had no stand so I screwed a VESA mount in a board and it’s hanging thus ever since.
