📰 I left GNOME for COSMIC, tried KDE next, and only one felt right in the end

It's not that it's difficult to install a new one, but it takes time to get used to the new environment as you build muscle memory and tweak settings to your liking. Despite the hassle of starting over again, the hype surrounding COSMIC got to me, and I ditched GNOME to give it a shot.
