- I've been saying lately 'I don't like Gnome'

I have been comparing various KDE distro/s w/ each other, but since I
don't like Gnome, I have avoided comparing Gnome/s. In a very limited
comparison, I found that generally speaking across distro/s, Gnome uses
a lot of ram to the live desktop, while KDE's use usually compares
favorably w/ that of XFCE's. Except in Fedora spin.

most of the community editions ran faster, smoother, and required less memory than Ubuntu's Desktop edition.
The big difference though during my trial was that Pop!_OS does everything noticeably faster than Ubuntu, even when run on the same hardware with the same filesystem. The two are not even close in performance when opening programs, moving windows around the desktop, opening menus, dragging icons around. Pop consistently ran circles around Ubuntu despite both distributions running the GNOME 3.38 desktop.
