Thankfully Gnome is ridiculously customisable. The native experience is shit, but installing a few extensions fixes all the issues I had with it at least.
Hmm... I found it very difficult to customise Gnome. So I switched to Plasma.
That's fair. A couple of programs I use are more compatible with Gnome so I had an incentive to get it working. My desktop is pretty much identical to KDE/Windows with a start menu (ArcMenu extension), a taskbar (Dash to Panel extension) and I've removed all keyboard shortcuts to the Overview eyesore and have prevented it from showing up at launch (No overview at start-up extension).
IMHO KDE is a better option than gnome. No need to tweak the UI to solve those issues.
I've been a big fan of gnome since the gnome2 days. I was ok with Gnome3 when it came out. Typically preferred it over plasma.
Having recently tried plasma, yeah it's certainly the better desktop environment. They have done a fantastic job, very impressive.
I suspect QT is simply a better toolkit, however I have limited experience with gtk as qt fits my needs better for work. I'm excited to see where Iced and Cosmo goes, just wish iced had a stable webview (although a web socket is probably good enough for my needs anyway. )
I agree, but a couple of programs I use were specifically made compatible with Gnome. It only took me three extensions to make my UI look like KDE though, so it wasn't too bad.
Moksha Desktop is Even better
5 minutes with extension manager in Bazzite and i had Gnome exactly how i wanted it. I also haven't used Gnome in like 20 years.
