Review of Gnome 40 desktop environment, tested in Fedora 34 beta, covering look and feel, ergonomics and many associated problems in the default design, new Activities, Gnome Tweaks, Extensions, desktop scaling, performance, search, tour, and more
Plasma is bombastic, have been on it for a few weeks now rocking Krohnkite Kwin script for tiling magic.
More and more things impress me to the extent that me, a previously not-very-keen-on-qt-guy want to nuke my SSD and start fresh with all things KDE.
I chose to make my Plasma minimal and remove visual cruft, I was given the choice to set it up as a regular old tiling window manager. That’s the beauty of it. Also enjoy how great GTK things work in Plasma, much more fitting compared to the other way round.
I’ll underline KDE once more, because yeah. Combine it with openSUSE for maximum maximalism and minimum disk space.
Enlightenment is also kind of interesting in this regard. It certainly doesn’t have the manpower to be truly maximalist, but it has some of the fanciest graphical effects and supports features that you’re not going to find elsewhere.
Unfortunately, it’s also not terribly stable, not often packaged very well by distros, and it has some unusual defaults which you’ll have to get used to or customize them in some way.

KDE?
I’m on MATE and love it. I think it’s great that it doesn’t change and never will.
LXDE does this.
