GNOME bad

Plasma good

XFCE better

I couldn't get used to plasma. I dunno why. I really like the gnome style applications window over a start menu.

Liking the fullscreen app search thingamafuck is your prerogative even if I feel this kind of UX is only at home on a mobile phone (also I'm fairly sure Plasma can also do that with some fennagling--)

The thing people (me included) detest about GNOME has very little to do with that anyway, peeps don't like how locked down it is and how it refuses to support certain features thought to be 'basic', so you have to use extensions.... Which can be janky on occasion -- And definitely will get abandoned by their creators and disabled when you upgrade GNOME version.

Valid. I'm a pretty new Linux convert (6 months or so) and gnome is what I landed on. I tried KDE Plasma and it was okay, maybe I am not giving it enough of a chance. I noticed the desktop and windows were kind of flickering as well, not sure why. Nvidia graphics card, so it's already a bit janky anyway.

Yeah, NVidia+Linux means some jankiness.

NVidia+Linux+Wayland and at that point you're just engaging in self-flagellation.

I'm a plasma user and I would also prefer a fullscreen start menu. Ideally a fullscreen krunner with all its amazing bells and whistles.

We each have to make the compromise that suits us best. I doubt most people think one desktop or another is perfect.

You can change out the Windows-style start menu on Plasma for the "Application Launcher" button which will be a fullscreen app launcher like in GNOME. Or are you wanting something different?
