What features would I be losing if I switched to GNOME?

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I don't really use KDE, and if I forgot some really crucial information thanks to correct me.
You can use the KDE spin version of Fedora with plasma 6, or if you love the rolling release of Arch you can try openSUSE Tumbleweed with KDE (you choose you desktop environment at installation).
And for what you going to loose if you go to GNOME :
meta
button to open gnome overview and start typing to find app.And if you want to try GNOME try to stay the most "vanilla" possible. Some extensions I use :
I've got 20 extensions enabled. There's no drawback so far. PaperWM is probably the most important one for me.
That info is better than "install as few extensions as possible".
What I meant was that if he wants to try out Gnome, he should install only few extensions to have a vanilla experience. Then he can install the extensions he wants. I would have said the same thing for KDE or any DE.
"Try first without tweak and when it's work and you like it, try modify" something like this.
