Started using Linux for 3 weeks on CachyOS.

Was hyped with KDE due to it being default on recommendations and SteamOS using it.

4090 RTX, constant flickers near the taskbar no matter what I do in all distros with KDE.

Also horrible HDR washed colors.

After further research learned how Gnome is backed up by big companies like Red Hat / IBM, Canonical, and System76.

Had me thinking it should have better development and more polish.

Reinstalled with Gnome.

Looks gorgeous, HDR is actually better than on windows and with KDE. No more flickering, more smoother windows feeling when moving them around. Probably better Wayland support.

Lastly, the settings are minimal and not a lot of menus to move around in, compared to KDE.

Why is this not the default on most distros and people are using KDE?
