From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I only gave GNOME a try... so by default I would say KDE Plasma?
Gnome is probably a good choice if you like MacOS' ecosystem and design (maybe also those having touch screens??). But personally I totally hated it... Can't even right click and create a folder/document by default... uggh gives me MacOS PTSD...
KDE plasma is more fitted for those looking for a "Windows" feeling and greater customization.
My personal preference RN is XFCE on EndeavourOS ! Great design, simplicity, elegant, great defaults OOTB...
