I'm pretty noviceand will certainly offend someone with this statement but I thought KDE was Windows-like (task bar, start menu, etc) and Gnome was Mac-like (permanent menu bar across top, dock).
The screen shot seems to remind me of Gnome rather than KDE. What are the benefits of configuring KDE to look like Gnome?
Well understandable , since thats the default look. But KDE is one of the most customizable DE, you could make it look like anything you want.
I run Gnome (Ubuntu currently) and have minor stability issues. I also just... kinda don't like it. Previously I was running Fedora and liked it more but again, stability issues (which was what I was hoping to solve moving to Ubuntu).
Do you have any suggestions for a novice friendly distro that has (or can easily be set up to have) a dock and hot corner window switching like gnome under KDE?
It exist a spin of fedora and ubuntu with a KDE desktop but you could just install KDE on you existing ubuntu desktop https://itsfoss.com/install-kde-on-ubuntu/
I'd say a benefit is that one can achieve the workflow of GNOME or macOS while having the configurability of KDE at one's disposal.
