At the top of the list is KDE Plasma (of course). But you may be
surprised that GNOME makes it onto the list at all, albeit barely
squeezing it at number 5:

    The only reason GNOME makes the list is because of GNOME Shell
    Extensions. Without the extensions, there's very little
    customization to be made with GNOME.

In answer to the question asked in the subhead: “What makes Linux the
most flexible operating system on the planet?”, the answer is
“modularity”. Unlike other common platforms, the GUI is not baked into
the OS kernel -- it is a separate, modular layer. Being modular, it is
replaceable, with a whole range of options. And of course, you can
remove it altogether, and run without a GUI at all if you want.
