I've been hoping between KDE and Gnome recently and but it feels like I am going to settle on Gnome. My experience:

Both Desktop environment support:

- Wide Gamut monitor (Gnome requires to enable it through terminal)

- DCC Brightness adjustments (native on KDE, Gnome requires an extension)

- Preserve battery health (native on both)

Gnome:

- I find it sleek, smooth and fast

- Google Meet PiP works natively

- Learning curve is steeper coming from a Windows environment (had to watch a Youtube video to understand the workflow and workspaces)

- Software app is so much faster than Discover

KDE:

- Feels mature and easier to customise

- Has a feature to boost volume (useful with my low power laptop speakers)

- Cannot get Google Meet PiP to work

- Apps are slow to start even after a fresh Fedora installation

- Not as smooth and sleek as Gnome

- Faster learning curve, similar to Windows experience

- Discover is so slow
