Gnome has become too weird so I don't like using it.

I like eye candy: rotating cube, wobbly windows, etc.
So you can use xfce4.
xfce
keyboard shortcuts
application menu - window manager - set the windows key to open
using kwin eye candy
cp ~/.config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml ~/.config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml.orig cp /etc/xdg/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/xfce4-session.xml ~/.config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml vi ~/.config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/xfce4-session.xml
on line 12 replace xfwm4 with kwin
test by running
kwin --replace
in a box. This may take a little while, but is a good test. If it works, log out then use a standard terminal to delete stuff in ~/.cache/sessions before rebooting the machine (otherwise you may not see any window borders after rebooting.
NB After doing this, you will have to use the kde-system-settings to change settings!
