I've been using Plasma since the KDE 3.4 days, although I've dabbled in other desktop environments. I love it. I honestly miss the experience when I'm using other operating systems on machines other than my own personal ones. And other Linux desktop environments are also honestly pretty good. Plasma's just my favorite, not the only good one. I hope some people do try Linux on account of stuff like this and find a happy home in it. It feels really good not to be insulted, deceived, or bossed around by your OS.

If I was going to set up an older person who struggles with computers, would you say plasma is decent, or should I stick with cinnamon?

I'd go for lubuntu in that situation.
