Switch to Linux! (Yes, I know I'm one of those people.)

I asked my workplace if I could switch from the new macbook pro with the touchbar I got when I joined to linux on thinkpad (this was after a month of using the macbook pro btw), they agreed and I got an x1 carbon with ubuntu on it.
So much better IMO, just the keyboard alone was worth the switch. I was a little worried I would miss the display but I really don't mind the smaller screen.

I really like KDE but GNOME is more popular afaik.

Is there a particular distribution's customizations that you like? I've tried Ubuntu/Gnome and Manjaro/KDE and thought both were pretty bad out of the box. I can go into more detail if necessary...
