Meh. I haven't seriously considered GTK ecosystems since 3 got released. Between the increased usage of screen real estate, feature minimalism as a philosophy, becoming infested with ever more JavaScript that hampers performance, the continuous API instability that strangles extension development, and "my way or the highway" approach to workflows... I just don't get why people like it.

While not mentioned in the post, there is a KDE flavor of the same project called Aurora/kinoite. While it doesn't get the LTS treatment (IMO it would have been the better pick over Bluefin), it's still viable.

Kinoite is not from the same project tho, it's the fedora KDE spin.

Well, everyone's different. It's great that Linux caters to all of us.

I prefer Gnome because it does what I need but mostly just disappears and gets out of my way.

I used to love fiddling and customising everything. Plenty of options for that if that's your thing, like KDE.
