I'm currently trying out Nobara with GNOME, but it just doesn't feel right to me, and I'm not sure if it's the distribution or the desktop environment causing the issue. I'm considering switching to KDE because I've heard it offers more customization options. Although I've only been using Linux for about a week, I'd love to get some tips or recommendations for other distros or desktop environments that might suit me better. Also, is it true that all roads lead to Debian? I've heard that it's solid for daily use, college, and gaming, so I'm curious about that! (By the way, I'm Brazilian, and my English is decent—but not perfect!)

Yeah, switching to KDE could really enhance your experience! I suggest trying out PikaOS with the KDE edition. It's designed to be user-friendly and you won't feel overwhelmed by the setup process like some other distros.
It sounds like you might just be feeling the limitations of GNOME. If customization is what you’re after, KDE is definitely worth a shot as it's way more flexible. You could also try Cinnamon; it's found on distros like Mint and is user-friendly, though not as customizable as KDE.
Honestly, if you're struggling with how GNOME flows, try switching desktop environments first before looking at distros. KDE is more similar to Windows if that's what you prefer. And about Debian, it's often recommended for stability and is great for most day-to-day tasks, just keep in mind it uses slightly older drivers that might not support the latest hardware perfectly.
You nailed it! It's like GNOME comes with extra steps for customization, which really slows things down.
That makes sense! I've noticed GNOME requires a lot of extensions just to get the look or functionality I'm after, which feels off. I mainly use a laptop, and I heard GNOME is supposed to work well on that, so maybe I need a different approach.
