GNOME make sense if you want something simple. I personally don’t like how unstable it can get when you start to pile extensions and how some extensions would stay broken for a few weeks after a GNOME update, but that shouldn’t be an issue if you don’t use any beyond the most basic ones like the tray icon one.

I personally always go with KDE because I’m used to it, I already have my perfect UX for my workflow and preferences, and in the long term things just break/changes a lot less often (they usually only really break backwards compatibility during major updates, so most add-ons and script rarely needs updates).

Here is my setup if you’re curious:

Haven’t updated the default on my image yet, but the only change I’ve done is with the side panel because… I think Canonical had the right idea for designs. A real icon taskbar side-panel is more convenient to have than a hidden floating-panel/dock. Plus, the window control, title, and global menu at the top is just… perfect UX for PC. But I do like macOS’ theme styles much more than the rest of the other themes I’ve used, haha.

Do note though, that switching between desktop via rebasing often causes issues - I think I was stuck in a black screen after boot once. So if you want to switch, I’d recommend reinstalling.
