One of the things when using linux I still find absolutely magical is the ability to basically swap on the fly to a completely new desktop environment. I've been using Gnome for years now on my work laptop, now I want to try out KDE Plasma 6, because it looks sick as hell.

The best thing is, you don't need to completely switch over to a new DE, you can simply install it alongside your default DE and you can choose the DE you want to use on your login screen. So if you don't want to stay with the new DE, you can always switch back to the old one.

I need to say that I *really* like Gnome. Imo it is one of the best polished DEs in the Linux Ecosystem and even has better UI/UX-Design as Windows. KDE was always a bit less polished, but has more customization options out of the box. But with Plasma 6, it gained so much more refinement.

Basically if you are an all time Windows user and you want to try out Linux, use a Distro like Fedora or Mint which ships with KDE Plasma and you will be blessed. KDE really gets the job done of giving you a setup that is almost similar to windows, but withoud the Microsoft bullshittery.
