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.

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.
