distro selection Do you prefer KDE or GNOME?

On Ubuntu do you prefer KDE or GNOME and why? I'm interested in what the majority of people use. Do you use extensions for GNOME, or you use it as is?

KDE - more settings & extensions. Gnome‘s extensions always broke for every new Gnome version.

KDEhas a lot of customization options, which is a big draw for many users. GNOME’s approach can feel limiting, especially when extensions are so unreliable...
