Following the September release of the KDE LInux reference distribution for the KDE desktop in alpha form, KDE Linux developers have been working toward the beta release with more improvements to this open-source desktop distro.

KDE Linux as a reminder is KDE's reference platform while leveraging an immutable base OS and Arch Linux packages for the core platform. KDE Linux will ship with all the latest and greatest KDE software releases.

I firmly believe most people saying "Gnome sucks" just want a classical desktop metaphore. Which Gnome sucks at

LOL! that's me 😅

Honestly, Gnome is okay depending on the context. I think it's wonderful on my 1st gen Surface Pro tablet. Whereas KDE sucks.

But yeah, most people are used to the classical desktop metaphorthat looks like every desktop since Win 95. I even changed the look and feel of my KDE with a tiled app launcher to make it work like. Win10 because I love the ergonomics.

Coming from a Mac maybe people would be more at ease with Gnome though.
