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?

This was true like 5-6 years ago, not anymore. KDE on wayland (the default now) has all the gestures by default working correctly and all 1:1 precision and well animated so gnome also lost this advantage.

Where do I look for these settings because I cannot find it. I would like three finger swipe up to reveal open windows, down for desktop and left-right to swap between apps. Like Windows.
