Err, i tend to stick with Unity for myself.
Some of my work-colleagues couldn't cope with the simplicity and the way it
doesn't look like Xp or Win7. So i had a quick look at KDE again and was
surprised at how fast it's become. It even out-performed Cinnamon and Mate
and even LXDE on many of our ancient machines AND it looked quite similar
to Xp/Win7. Quite a few people found it much easier to use.
people who liked kde3 might try an active development of it called
Trinity Desktop <https://www.trinitydesktop.org/>; I favor a branch
called exegnu <http://exegnulinux.net>; I think both make a
livecd/usb.
it is debian-based and you may have to do a couple of things to get
the wifi drivers for your system.
my only association with these projects is as a contented user.

So i've been using it myself quite a bit and found how to fix some of the
inevitable teething problems in any 'new' system. Any system needs a bit
of tweaking in order to get it working the way anyone would be happy with
so i've been finding a few of those out for myself. However i really like
Unity now [shrugs]. For me the big advantage of KDE is that now i can do
more distro-hopping and try out many different distros while keeping a
fairly familiar Gui/DE/Window-manager.

"Back in the day", I used to have 3 or 4 window managers I used to
switch between. lol
As for Windows 8's metro, I mean "modern" UI, I'm not digging it and I
never have.
