I've tried really hard to like GNOME, but god damn we don't get along. Debian 12 is solid AF though.
I have tried both kde and gnome many times and i can't stand either one. I'm forever stuck in cinnamon.
somehow every distro that ships with kde has tons of big bugs that I can't figure out (probably related to my setup), and gnome feels like a tablet UI. cinnamon won't autosuspend but it's the smallest headache of these...
Funny enough Cinnamon is Gnome 3 done right.
And I agree gnome in general has its sore points, I'm just used to them.
I found that for me installing KDE Plasma on Mint is peak. I'm using it like this since the Mint 22 Beta.
What was the issue with kubuntu?
I have actually been itching to do that, but I read that it messes up cinnamon so there's no going back and I don't have the time to do a full reinstall now. btw what happens to all the software you have installed? do they stay and still work properly?
I have no clue what the issues are with Cinnamon getting messed up, but mine works just fine still. Even went back to using it for a bit when changing my monitor setup broke KDE for a bit (some poller service wasn't getting the responses it was expecting and it kept messing up the resolutions and disconnecting one of them until I figured it out and turned it off)
