If it’s you’re first install go with gnome since it’s intentionally simplified.
You WILL get lost in all of the customization options that are available in KDE and most xwindows environments if you have no experience w anything besides Windows or Mac
All I do in KDE is set it to Breeze Dark, set my taskbar to dock + autohide, and change media keybinds. There’s tons of options but you don’t really have to touch any of them. Default is fine.
if that were all they touched, it would be fine; but i’ve lost track of the number of times i setup a linux system for newbies and got emergency phone calls that the install was broken only to discover that they clicked on some kde setting somewhere that they both forgot about and didn’t understand.
it’s sort of like people deleting the windows folder on a windows system because they don’t think that they use it.
If you are interested in open street maps, then you might want to check out the StreetComplete app. It will give you various quests to complete and achievements to unlock.
I’ve been doing street complete for over a year now and didn’t know how much I would enjoy it. It’s also doing something for the community of people who use open street map data (usually hobbyists or folks looking for an alternative to the privacy violating giants). I feel proud of my work when I see my contributions on OSMAnd+ or when I post a picture of a place and somebody can use that data to contribute to the map.
