In American English, the forms with to-infinitive are much more common than the -ing form.

There is a very small difference in meaning between the two forms.

The -ing form emphasises the action or experience.
The to-infinitive gives more emphasis to the results of the action or event.

We often use the -ing form to suggest enjoyment (or lack of it),
the to-infinitive form to express habits or preferences.

I like making jam.
He likes telling jokes.
They don’t like sitting for too long.
