KDE Plasma or GNOME?

Hey y'all I'm still new to this linux system, my first distro was Nobara and it was amazing because everything just works out of the box and i installed the KDE Plasma version bcs it felt similar to windows so i got the hang of it very quickly.

But recently i wanted to hop distro and try CachyOs bcs i heard it was fast and snappier bcs it's Arch Based and lightweight, and during the installation i noticed that i can install the GNOME version of the DE, now... all of my friends that uses linux usually have Fedora with GNOME and from the look of it, it's supposed to be like a Mac in the workflow and interface(?) and I'm kinda intrigued since i do own both windows and mac and i love the mac workflow and interface more than windows.

So my question is... Is there any difference between KDE Plasma and GNOME? The ease of use i mean and is there a pros and cons to each of them?

And also I'm still dual booting since i still need windows from some of my uni work, and after i finish in August I'm considering switching permanently to linux bcs well... Microslop....

Thank you all in advance 🙂‍↕️
