KDE 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

The thing I cannot stand about GTK4 is how visually bloated it is

eh
, I don
't really have that problem but I find that
's because there
's an art to managing space
H

too MUCH space and yeah
