It’s hard to make Gnome look much different from stock even with all my extensions unless I apply shell themes and such. But even then it’s a fight to theme libadwaita/GTK4 apps. Hate how restrictive they’ve made Gnome. For instance, global menus. Small thing for most, easy to implement, no intrusive much at all. Previous Mac user here, and it just bothers me to no end they ACTIVELY block being able to have a global menu in apps (exported) or in top panel (display). Usually that’s why I can’t stay on Gnome for too crazy long. Plus it’s so easy to bork your install with theming.
Feels a little more polished than KDE personally, but love that KDE offers most of the things I’m missing. Plus I know KDE will get more “polish” as time goes on.
But this is in addition to Garuda Hyprland, so I have that to fall back in if I get to frustrated with Gnome lol
