I'm moving away from Windows and I'm looking for distro for coding and occasional gaming. If more context is needed please let me know.

I'm not saying choosing based on the desktop environment is a bad thing. I'm just saying that it's better to recommend something like Fedora and let people choose a spin instead. The desktop environment is a lot more important when starting out. The user can then decide to switch to a different distro after having gained a bit more experience / knowledge about the inner workings of Linux distributions.
