Linux(TM) Desktops have had their ups and downs,
and the [latest previous] situation
[is was] fairly well presented by Dedoimedo:
i prefer KDE to Gnome. Gnome is simpler,
and by default tends to welcome by familiarity
expatriats of winDblOwS, which is the primary audience of Dedoimedo.
KDE is much more customizable to user preference.
Notice that more recent development work is being applied to
the integration of Gnome and KDE into one.
While you can install multiple desktops on any Linux™ system,
if you wish to start with a KDE desktop on a very popular "distribution"
the Dedoimedo recommended starting place
is this.
To install it you will download an installer and burn it to either
an optical disk or a USB Flash Drive, for which purposes, a recommended tool
is this [best for WinDblOwS users].
[Well, from my (celeste) point of view, i'd suggest trying
InitDisk.]
As for which distribution i am running, that would be
DebIan. Also good is any
DebIan Pure Blend.
"KDE Connect" [is was] excellent for tethering my
"Android" "smart"-phone in {Wifi,USB}-Tethering mode,
and especially for sharing clipboard between phone and laptop.
On my present stupid FlipPhone, "TracFone" service disables this :-(
Some day i'll get what i truly prefer, a
Librem 5, which runs PureOS, a DebIan PureBlend :-)
KDE Connect on Plasma Mobile clues us as to [future 4 years ago] development.

Oh my, celeste, you really need to update this article!
Well, i know why that is...
Dedoimedo is continually jumping all over the place,
and i continue to simply run
Debian on my 2006 vintage Panasonic Toughbook CF-30.
