I was a Gnome guy since the 16.04 Ubuntu days even with the transition to 3 and whatnot. Stopped using a linux desktop for a while but came back and used CachyOS - when deciding what desktop to use, everyone online said KDE so I gave it a shot and haven't look back since.
A few times I had to do something on a Gnome system and now it just feels like you're being kneecapped by the devs for no good reason.
