I was waiting for this comment =] I’m a KDE user as well, Plasma is amazing but it can take quite a bit of configuration to get things looking and feeling perfect. This could easily turn off someone new to Linux.

I think OP is going to have their hands full switching to a new OS as it is. Gnome looks and feels like OSX right away, and their design philosophy aims to minimize time spent tweaking in order to maximize productivity. Once OP is used to the typical Linux workflows and gets curious about how to improve things further, they will find out about what KDE has to offer.

Whichever distro you end up choosing, consider one which makes use of the Gnome desktop environment - the current version of gnome is very similar to the Mac OS desktop layout so it could help your transition.

Nobody pushing genocide is worthy of votes or support.

It was incumbent on Dems to EARN votes, and they failed spectacularly. You’re wrong to try blaming voters for failings of our corrupt politicians.
