I tried Mint. It wasn't that great. While I dont use Ubuntu specifically, I love Gnome
- The Cinnamon desktop is pretty awesome, though, but you can just install it on another Debian district.
  
  I also used it, and liked it, then Plasma, made it look like Windows 12 (looked like a combination of Windows and macOS), but I'm now on GNOME again. I might use something else in the future tough.
  
  KDE Plasma is still really unintuitive and weird to use. Maybe they'll get better eventually, but meanwhile I'm on Gnome
  
  What are your problems exactly? For me, it was that GNOME was more stable and had some trackoad gestures. And on Plasma, something just felt small. I tried changing the text size, but it was still harder to read.
  
  You also had to do every configuration on every screen and toolbar individually.
  For a multi-screen setup. Yikes
  
  Weird I always have the opposite feeling with KDE: everything is big. Mostly the icons and bar at the bottom. However tbf it might be because I am used to Xfce4 and only recently went back to KDE
  
  Gnome stability, hands down.
  
  My ideal OS: all of KDE's features locked behind 'advanced' menus.
  
  Acts in every other way (including stability) like Gnome.
  
  I really want to like KDE. It just feels so much like the unnecessary is put to the front, rather than provided as a side feature.
  
  I like Trinity because it looks like old Windows environment :)
  
  I tried them all (all Mint DEs)
  
  Good you did a thorough test, what distro did you end up choosing?
  
  Fedora. I don't know if I'll stay there forever though
  
  Well there's always Arch 😁
  
  My brother says so as well. Maybe I should listen
  
  I'm sure Arch and Manjaro are worth a try, back in the day I tried RedHat/SuSE/Slackware/Debian/Ubuntu and ended up with Mint Cinnamon.
  
  The closest to Arch I tried was using Debian Sid, but got annoyed when I one time had to battle with getting it up and running after a dist upgrade. I really hope Arch handles those upgrades better.
  
  The most annoying with that upgrade was that the UI changed to an early version of Gnome Shell, I think that prompted me to switch to Mint MATE
