I’m the same way, not picky as long as I can figure out where to click. I just did the reverse of KDE -> Gnome, I miss KDE here and there but I’ve been able to take the pieces I miss and replace them with gnome extensions.
Gnome was faster to get started with but KDE felt deeper. KDEs UI is denser, which imo makes it feel less “modern” but both KDE and Gnome are usable.
Best thing you can do is to spin up a VM and try it out yourself! Everyone’s different.
