To be honest, I think all major desktop environments are in an equally terrible state (including MacOS and Linux), but none particularly more so than another.

I’ve been very happy using Gnome and KDE more so than Windows or MacOS the past year, but they each have odd quirks, as do MacOS and Windows.

In fact, although I’ve had plenty odd graphical bugs and occasional crashes with both Linux DEs, almost every time I’ve had to use Windows or MacOS for something, I’ve experienced even worse over there.

In some ways I think we should all be disgusted that the desktop UI has largely stagnated while still having so many odd issues across the board, but at the same time, I guess pleased that they have all largely caught up to each other in most regards and are all “about as good as it gets, for now”.

That said, I find myself gravitating towards Linux if for no reason other than, if all else fails, the source code is there for me to modify if and when I desire.
