Hopefully someone can give you a good answer. I’m not a Linux user, I’m a Mac user, so I can’t really say what’s what in the world of Linux.
I do know that generally the GNOME desktop environment favours the look/feel of macOS and the KDE desktop environment favours the look and feel of Windows, but they’re both so much more than that, and they are very much their own thing. It’s not really fair to compare them. It’s more of a starting point. But the idea of a dock at the bottom (or sometimes on the left) and a persistent menu bar on top has been a GNOME thing, and only having the one bar (typically on the bottom) and something resembling a Start menu has been a KDE thing. But you can get GNOME or KDE with just about any distro.
Something tells me that’s not quite what you were looking for, though.
Thank you for honestly answering. I’m looking to get my “mature” and not particularly technologically-inclined self off Windows and elderly parents off iOS.
