I use KDE but GNOME is cool too lol.

Btw it is pronounced with a G.

You will never make me pronounce the G. Never!

I also use KDE because it's better for gaming. But I love GNOME's UX/UI. I wish I could go back.

In what ways is it better for gaming?

The Gamecontroller calibration and test all is pretty nifty in KDE. Something like that is dearly missing on GNOME.

I use jstest-gtk. Really light handy tool for testing and calibration. Antimicrox also works great for rebinding controllers.

Checkout some videos by Michael Horn, GNOME 46 is actually pretty good for gaming.

Same, only reasons I had to move to KDE were, GNOME crashes when both my monitors are off (so, every night when I go to sleep), and tray icons are terrible (as GNOME intentionally doesn't support them), the extensions are all very lacking in features compared to the Windows tray (kde somewhat matches almost everything except being able to reorder the icons).

The ArcMenu extension is by far the start menu I've liked the most out of all options on linux, and it saddens me that there's no KDE plasmoid/widget variant

I prefer KDE for desktops, but gnome for laptops. However I've been using gnome on my desktop for a while now. With some minor customizations it's fine.

"gee-nome"? Got it!
