At one time, KDE was better for newbies than GNOME. This was because
GNOME was still new, buggy, etc. The situation is much different now.
Both desktops are robust, stable, and suitable for newbies.

I'm the biggest KDE fan in the world, and if you ask me privately, I
will say "use KDE". But my preference for one over the other will most
likely be based on factors that you would consider irrelevant.
