I'll give KDE a try again when they provide a way to track all of my settings via dotfiles. I tinker with shit a lot and I need the ability to track it all with a VCS. I've always kept KDE as a backup but its accrued so much config junk over a decade that its actually a pretty janky experience, and I'm not comfortable just nuking all my dotfules.
I used KDE for a long time trying to do things that just worked in Gnome. I finally switched and don't seem to be hunting for anything KDE did
The #2 reason I'm still on a Mac is because I prefer the look of its UX. Can you recommend a good window manager/theme that replicates macOS Sequoia?
And also one that will replicate system 7 because I am an old and nostalgic man.
System 7 stuff is going to look very small at 2026 screen resolutions. The widget dimensions on it mostly correspond to the original Mac's dimensions, from 1984.
That being said, it looks like archive.org has archives of kaleidoscope.net's
the most popular third-party theme engine
theme archives:

So in theory, somone could make a bulk converter from System 7 themes to GTK or whatever.

There's an "Mac OS" category of GTK themes on gnome-look.org, and I imagine that the KDE people probably have something comparable. I haven't used any myself.

I need to rewatch this. "Haha, marry me!"
I actually kinda like gnome. I like most of the others too, but I default to gnome. Also I use the hot corners all the time
I loved using multi desktop in Gnome. Hated using it anywhere else... Except i3. But still kinda like Gnome more. Though... Kinda hated my extensions constantly breaking.
