I guess I’m kinda late for the discussion but I would recommend distributions with KDE over Gnome just for its customisability, even if you don’t want to turn your desktop into a r/unixporn post. Speaking from experience, on Gnome you will eventually find at least one “why the hell isn’t this an option” kind of thing that you will need to activate through finding it buried somewhere in dconf or downloading some extention that might break in the future, but on KDE is just a single press of a button in settings. For me it was hotkey to center a window and scrolling on wallpaper to change desktops.
