KDE has been crazy good for me.

It's a very complete package, it has a quick launcher that's good, a good screenshot tool and very very nice window management features.

When combined with libinput gestures, you can get macOS style three finger swipe between desktops. And not just a swap, but a nice swipe animation that pauses when you do on the touchpad.

On a laptop, this is such a big timesaver.

Its bottom bar icon handling is very good, customising is easy, and the settings panel is very clear. Everything is just so polished.

Then there is kde connect as well, it integrates so effertlessly. Kde is truly a software powerhouse, well done.

For reference, these are referred to as "1:1 gestures"
