For people who already tried both, what’s the reason you’re sticking with GNOME or KDE as your desktop environment?

    I’ll probaby move to Gnome when my hands are too arthritic to operate a mouse and keyboard properly, and I just want to punch big icons and buttons I can barely see anymore. And I’ll be too far gone in dementia to customize my desktop anymore, so I won’t be able to hurt myself having settings I can mess up. I’ll understand where to find apps like “Mail” and “Files” instead of hard names like Thunderbird and Dolphin.

    Then Gnome will be fine for a couple years just before I croak.

      Hey, use a tiling wm like sway/i3 to prevent getting arthritic.

      I’m actually writing a blog post about how to be more healthy and prevent things like arthritis using a good software setup.
