HLike I said, I've been waiting for a while now for a budgie version of Bazzite NVIDIA
FGnome2 is okay.
GIt's kinda hard not to like it when it's as polished as it is
AI mean, sure it takes a little longer to get features than KDE does but I find when it does get those features they're often significantly more polished
AEXACTLY
Ayou get it
GLol good minds think alike
HFMate 
WWhen I used gnome I found that I used 5-6 extensions to make it look and work like kde.... So in the end I just switched to KDE 
Athat's by far the main appeal for me. GNOME is just so goddamn polished. Yes features take a bit longer to get to it but it's one of those things where it's like "I know that when a feature DOES come to GNOME that it's going to be polished and it's going to just WORK"
HI know its hard, but outside of the linux world
FI just cant stand gnome. Its too restrictive for me
GThose few extensions are worth it for me to use gnome. They're a built in feature for the environment so I might as well use them
Hgnome is already knows as the "linux face"
AI like GNOME extensions
AI appreciate that I can very easily customize my desktop UI with just a few clicks
Alike that's just NEAT
VHonestly the thing I respect about GNOME is how it looks because with a few tweaks it does look REALLY good. But like, so does KDE so 
FIm setting up gridcoinresearch on my server. It’s a cryptocurrency based on boinc allowing a proof of work based blockchain with actual real benefit to the world
Hsadly you can't fix QT
AGNOME's visual consistency is unparalleled in Linux DE's tbh
GKDE Plasma has gotten a lot better and I consider it very good looking and polished too. No, my main issue is I much prefer GTK apps to Qt, and GNOME has a much more consistent visual design with its apps
VConsistently bad
Hand Kvantum is not a solution
Apretty much this yeah. I just like how GTK looks and it provides apps with a very visually consistent design language
VThe thing I cannot stand about GTK4 is how visually bloated it is
VThere's so little going on in such a large amount of space
Hone thing I don't like about GTK4
Aeh, I don't really have that problem but I find that's because there's an art to managing space
His the fact that it has little to no customizability
VYeah that sucks
Halso, one thing I can't agree with you
Hyou can't call it bloated at all
Hyou can call it overminimalist
Atoo MUCH space and yeah, things can get a bit crap, but too LITTLE space and it gets way overcrowded and tricky to parse
Hbut not bloated
VI guess a better word is inefficient
GThat's a more apt description
GQt apps could be considered bloated
Hmostly
Hnot all QT software are bloated
Hbut most
FIm still sad they killed off lxde
GOf course

FThat DE let me run a 512mb ram thinkpad on the modern web into the late 2010s
AQT is such an oddball tbh
