Cinnamon is just what Gnome should be. It’s like a modernized version of classic Gnome. Even uses many of the same dependencies. It’s much, much more usable. KDE is good too but many distros have either a good cinnamon package and a shitty barely working KDE package or vice versa.
Cinnamon is borked to the point of being unusable in Arch but KDE is extremely good. It would take an entire lifetime of research for an end user to fix all the cinnamon issues in Arch it’s so bad. Cinnamon is great in Ubuntu but KDE is hot trash to the point where the Windows ui even is superior.
In my experience it just comes down to which of those 2 are the most properly set up on whichever distro I’m using.
