I’d like to hear people’s journeys and motivations from people who switched over the last few months, and if there were particular challenges that were faced.

It is! I’ve really been enjoying the KDE experience with Kubuntu!
Initially I tried downloading a few “retro” windows xp/2000 look a like themes, but something got messed up and it wouldn’t let me log in? Something with the SDDM. Luckily I had just installed Kubuntu fresh earlier that day, so I hadn’t set anything up, so it was easy enough to just reinstall everything, and I’ve just been sticking with the built in themes and not really messing with anything else lol.
I did see that with Bazzite, which is why I think I’ll try it out. I just don’t want to go through the whole process, only to end up with the same issues I have now due to, apparently, having a Nvidia GPU in my laptop. I know no one can tell me if I will or won’t, and I just have to try it, but that’s about my only hesitation.
I prefer KDE Plasma, too. Fortunately, just about every desktop distro has it available even if GNOME or something else is the default. Find out what package to install. (On Debian-based distros, it’s probably kde-plasma-desktop.) Install it, log out, and look for a session selector on the login screen. Change it to Plasma before logging in again.
If the same game problems reappear when you’re on a different distro, you might want to describe them in detail on a Linux gaming forum. Someone there might be familiar with how to fix them.
