     @gamingonlinux @mocelet it's called noobuntu for a reason, loooooads of guides out there. You can probably switch to another distro later when you're slightly more experienced
     
     I believe Ubuntu comes with Gnome by default? Since you're used to the desk, and probably is used to KDE, you can probably just grab the one that comes with KDE
     https://ubuntu.com/desktop/flavours
     
     Not that you can just take the normal one and install KDE after, but it will be default config and sometimes, stuff don't work as nicely with another installed DE

     @gamingonlinux Is there a guide to choosing a distro, and how to set it up for the best gaming experience? I have a Deck, but would like to switch my desktop to Linux.

     @Zerglingman @gamingonlinux @mocelet I heavily dislike gnome, XFCE looks worse and is less featured while taking as much RAM too. The crash memes about KDE are pretty wrong and apparently all the weird reported wrong graphics stuff is because people are using shitty non default themes

     @coolboymew @Zerglingman @gamingonlinux @mocelet KDE has the best suite overall (with individual exceptions like gparted still being better than kparted) but it's still not that hard to get it to a crashy state. Also there's annoying details like Dolphin hanging on operations that really shouldn't be synchronous, but I still haven't found a better file manager for my demands.

     @birdulon @Zerglingman @gamingonlinux @mocelet I actually dislike Dolphin and prefer Thunar. I'm stuck using it for some stuff like Android connection because it seems like KDE's Android Connection stuff is heavily connected to Dolphin, but it just won't work correctly in Thunar

     @coolboymew @Zerglingman @gamingonlinux @mocelet Just installed Thunar again, it doesn't seem to have main panel tree view, or two main panels, so it's not something I'd consider.

     @Zerglingman @gamingonlinux @mocelet @birdulon what do you mean by two main panels? You can have tabs and a split view
     
     It does have a tree view btw in view > side pane. I prefer shortcuts tho'. If XFCE is not installed, you'll probably need a bunch of packages so that it shows unmounted drives

     @Zerglingman @gamingonlinux @mocelet @birdulon I knew when I accidentally triggered it by fat fingering the keyboard. Nice, but I don't need it. Maybe useful when you need to get stuff from an older disk on a new install

     @Zerglingman @gamingonlinux @mocelet @coolboymew I do side-by-side copy/move ops all the time, and just generally enjoy having two panes per tab (e.g. my anime tab has my airing series folder tree on the left, and premieres folder on the right)
     also love embedded terminals

     @Pendragon @mocelet if it uses it as a base, does that mean that all of the ubuntu guides would generally work? I found that Ubuntu works differently from other distros when I went looking up for guides when I started on MX Linux

     @coolboymew @mocelet pretty much.. unless it relates to Mint-developed software (they have their own Desktop "Cinnamon" which they develop), however I've always been able to use 'Ubuntu'-like guides to fix issues...

     @Zerglingman @gamingonlinux @mocelet @coolboymew I could get used to a clipboard/cross-tab drag workflow, but I enjoy having things side-by-side for visual comparison, and I gravitate towards pairs of directories

     I guess it's an apple to oranges thing. I liked Gnome 2.32 but I disliked Gnome 3. I wanted to like KDE4 but I had problems with it being stable on my distros I used. I like Cinnamon because it's the modern fork to Gnome 2.32 and it's a simple enough DE for me with enough features to do what i need to do.
