Trying Plasma for a bit to see how green the grass is as a longtime Gnome user. The last time I ran Plasma on my main desktop was version 5.11, I think? It's been a while...

I'm a regular Gnome user. I love KDE's activities. I don't know if it's still required, but Latte dock made it so that you had a nice dock with clean animations, dropping and adding your preferred shortcuts for whatever activity you're currently on.
I generally had three activities, work, general, and play. switch to work, and it looks like all I do on this computer is work. professional look and feel, all the relevant applications available in a clean autohide dock. switch to play, and it's some sick background from anime or a game I'm currently into. Steam, Discord, Heroic, and various preferred games are the only visible icons on the dock. it's really a pleasure to use.
my problem is that when in Plasma, I miss Gnome's overview, though, and whenever I switch back to Gnome, it just feels homey, functional, and straight to the point. Sure, I lose some customizations, but I gain in simplicity. Overall, that itself is a big customization choice - whether to use Gnome, KDE, or something else. ..so I don't regret Gnome's lack of customizability, that's just Gnome fulfilling is niche well. But Plasma is always a close second for me.
