this is just a meme, I know that everyone is different and not all GNOME or KDE users are like that!!
I like KDE cause it has a cute dragon. GNOME is a stinky foot.

Is that really a thing? I don't usually get into discussions about DEs that often, and pretty much never irl. So I haven't seen any general vibe at all.
Like, my impression of kde vs gnome is that they're both very geared towards a more general user that's going to be doing basic things, but with the ability to go more advanced as needed. I kinda assumed they were both going to draw people that are "basic" like the images in the meme for gnome, with cinnamon users also being in that range, where something like xfce would be for folks that want a bit more modularity and "hackiness".
I'm not being a smartass, I just don't really know if there's more to the meme than just a bit of fun or not.
Bottom right uses Enlightenment. Bottom left made his own tiling window manager which turned out exactly like the other tiling window managers.
The philosophies of the two DEs are diametrically opposed. For example KDE will let you customize everything, they'd even let you customize their mothers of they could, while GNOME won't let you customize anything, at least not without extensions that break every time GNOME updates.
KDE devs are also a lot less opinionated than GNOME devs. If they could, GNOME devs would question the use case of your clothes, conclude they're useless and then strip you naked. KDE devs will be fine with whatever you're wearing.
Now as you may have gathered I definitely prefer one over the other, but I do recognize some people may like GNOME for its simplicity, looks, flow and I even heard some like the lack of customization because it prevents them from getting distracted with tinkering. All in all use case depends on what you want to do with it, tho hopefully Cosmic DE beats the shit outta GNOME devs those damn pricks.

No you're right, it's mostly stereotypes that don't have any real world importance. From my intermediate POV, it comes down to GNOME being a resource hog which the 1337 H4X0Rz don't like. But with most modern systems having more than enough resources to spare, you're not likely to notice unless you're the sort to have always have one eye on the system monitor pegged to your desktop. It's an argument for the sake of an argument. I use KDE btw.

You use a keyboard and a peinter? weak! I throw magnets over the memory chips and use a multi-meter. /l334

The latter is more about i3 users lol
Something about making their own version of every app and than naming it k-something makes me think it's a cult.
Oh no, they know about the Kult! Burn the kompound!
The Kool Kids Klub will never fall!
Excuse me, it's called a kult.

yeah, my mom uses kde
Your mom rules.
inacurate, they are all femboys
Listen, we have all moved to hyprland for the pretty animations.
What if I use Hyprland?
Why not both? Seriously, why shouldnβt I install both DEs so I can figure out what I like best or suit my mood?
Canβt we actually have it all in this scenario?
NO! You must pick a side and fight!
I do have both installed, Plasma seems better for gaming with performance and experimental features, while GNOME is very stable for work and, ironically, customizes better for my preferences.
EDIT: I use Arch BTW

I use Cinnamon. What does that make me?
It makes you spicy.
I used to be a GNOME fanboy, but then GNOME 3 came and I can't stand it. Now I'm a KDE fanboy
i actually kinda like gnome since gnome 40 release.
it still sucks to use on small displays like laptops tho due to all the padding everywhere
also gnome's touchpad gestures and multi-desktop management is superior to that of kde.

I've run MATE for nearly a decade and am now running XFCE, preparing to jump into a window manager as soon as I get a machine for my exclusive use.
What does that make me?
You've got to XFCE it MATE. It makes you a nerd like the rest of us.

Eh, my main reason for going KDE is every time I try Gnome, it feels like "what do I do now" and "where is the program I opened"
I know that would get better with time spent using it, but then again, KDE feels like I can make it do what I want a lot easier
And none of the other DEs look as nice and polished, which, I know, that's not the important part ... But dammit, I'm gonna be spending a lot of time staring at it, I'd like it to look good to me at least
