GNOME is great but people recommending it to beginners need to make it clear that there is only minor customization, and that major customization / extensions will cause headaches.
Plasma is highly customizable out of the box. It’s personal preference in the end of course.
Then, after that, you can introduce them to Hyprland which is EVEN MORE customizable, at the cost of learning the hyprlang and jsonc if you also want waybar.

And then there is sway. Which makes you cry but respected.
Isn’t sway more limited in customization compared to hyprland?
(i know that swayfx is for that, but still not sure if it’a as good)
Yeah, probably true. It was a lighthearted joke, I do not know too much about sway or hyperland.
And then they encounter the horrible mess that is the Hyprland discord and run back to KDE or GNOME. There’s hope with Cosmic yet.
