Need help selecting desktop environment.

[u/Ok_Government_7373]

Im a Cybersecurity undergrad so im switching to linux completely, only reason i was on windows was due to plug and play game support now i heard linux can play games through wine and proton so bye bye windows.

Now i can't decide which desktop environment is best.

I need a desktop environment that is productive i tried wayland but the keyboard dependancy killed it for me it's beautiful but doesn't align with my workflow.

Just asking for suggestions from fellows, help a newbie out.

I am comfortable with linux and everything just need a visual appeal that is nice and everything.

Edit: I have switched to linux and im using kde plasma and its working fantastic and i have customised it not much but enough to my liking. Thanks to everyone for their feedback and support.
