KFull reinstall would be preferable, switching is possible but you really need to know what you're doing
KI have one more recommendation for you.
you can add a dock
you can add a dock
KIt's mostly appearance, KDE is a little closer to windows and GNOME is a lot closer to Mac OS
KThe default apps change between the two as well, KDE being mostly their own apps built in QT, and GNOME being mostly their apps built on GTK
CKDE has a lot more fiddly knobs for little things but remains mostly Windows-like
Gnome has many extensions which can semi-completely alter its appearance and functionality

KKDE Plasma is HIGHLY customizable
CYes. Many fiddly knobs for little things
CSeveral hundred, probably
6hmmm is there any sort of performance or functionality differences ?
tbh maybe i need to watch some videos on where and how i can customise it etc

6how would i go about adding a dock ? @Kid
CNo major performance/functionality differences. Some I would call medium, but they somewhat leapfrog between major updates to each
KThere's functionality differences but it really depends on your use case, we customize gnome a bit as well so you're not getting the default experience.
KPerformance-wise they should be the same

Kdo you like this for example?
KOnly thing really of note is that as of today only KDE has HDR support on the desktop. Others will catch up eventually
6yeah thats quite nice tbh
QI didn't even know they had it
Ktbh gnome looks like this rather easily too
6eh i have 3 4k monitors which support hdr but ngl i always have it switched off
CTakes fiddling to get it to look right when on, in my experience
Kright click on your desktop, enter edit mode.
damn..
damn..
Kit requires some steps.. bit weird to expalin
K-
is someone here on KDE, who can help 67 with the Dock?
I'm currently on GNOME ...

KThis was my KDE Plasma on openSUSE Tumbleweed.
You can do sooo many crazy things with it. It can even be overwhelming at first.
when I was new to linux... I learned all the KDE Plasma settings and thought: "this is linux" but I only learned aobut the desktop... not linux

KThe first time I actually used Linux seriousally was on Fedora Gnome
CDash (Gnome default, just app launching)
Dock (MacOS -> Ubuntu term, apps + tray + status)
Taskbar (Windows term, apps + tray + everything)
Panel (Gnome / MacOS term, top bar, status items)

KI didn't even learn extensions I immidietly learned how to install another DE
QI used to always gravitate to Mint
QIt's just really nice
KI never used Mint because I never used Cinnammon
Ksame
QThough nowadays I prefer other distros, which all have their own traits etc
QImo Cinnamon is a really great and integrated experience
CCinnamon is stuck on X11 for now, yes?
CWayland port in progress, last I heard
QIt has experimental Wayland support, which they shipped in Mint 21.3 as a separate session
6cant find option "fit to content"
CAhh, nice, when was that?
QI think around December or January
QMaybe even February, I don't remember
CGotcha
CLooks like it's already on
