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.

Gnome on the laptop, its keyboard and touch gestures are the best for notebooks. I also like its simple design and reliability.
KDE on desktop, I'd use gnome, but kwin has more gaming relevant features.
What features are these?
VRR, HDR.
It also had an early patch for nvidia support on Wayland earlier in the year.
I believe mutter-vrr has gotten merged though, behind a dconf flag
