I also dont like GNOME but their desktop is pretty nice. It is waaay to minimal
clipboard history
copy addresses
links
But many of these are also true for cinnamon.
KDE Plasma has a bit many features, on Kinoite I only use the bare minimum. But currently it works great and only more and more bugfixes will come. I havent had issues in a long time, and really wish that it stays like that.
Their software is powerful, and with great power comes… many bugs.
