    I have never understood how there was any competition.

    KDE has always been a better DE than anything on any platform, while gnome has been one of the worst and it just keeps going downhill.

      KDE gathered a lot of initial hate because the Qt widget library it relied on used to not be proper Free Software. (That was fixed about two decades ago, though.)

      Unfortunately, GTK is much prettier than QT.

        It doesn’t matter if it’s prettier, when I need to spend twice the time to do some basic stuff because I need to move my mouse cursor half way through the fucking screen, at least in GNOME apps.

        How is that toleratable is beyond me.

        Ummm but gtk is pretty bad in ux for me. It has some weird way of contents in title bar. And you can’t click close button by clicking at top right corner of screen for fullscreen apps because its floating or rounded

        I disagree completely, GTK looks like they took windows 3.11 and covered all the widgets in dried shit.
