Thanks for sharing your views ! I am taking an interest in Linux again because of many factors and I'd like to minimize the chances of having to try out many things things before settling on a distro that works for me. I generally don't want to tinker, as long as the tool disappears and does its job well. So far I was under the impression that was the case with Gnome (my last experience dates back to Fedora 19 and Gnome whatever).
I’ve found kde to be pretty straight forward, it’s also the most similar to windows so you get a general feel for where everything should be. Also for me, plasma just works, but if you are unsure and using fedora you can try a love usb with each desktop before installing
