Modern KDE is great
Great move. I did this last year after a decade of gnome and can’t be happier. I use sway for work and KDE for pleasure.
Anyone know of a way to “mate” widgets to the taskbar on KDE? So that when I hit the super button I get my widgets popping over any active apps…
I searched for a while and couldn’t find anything, but if anyone got any special sauce I’d love to know.
Edit: just noticed the extra start menu on the right side - lol that’s where that went
Can you give some examples of what you like in KDE over Gnome?
As a long-time Windows user, things like settings or notifications are laid out much more logically, as well as I feel like everything in KDE is just a little better integrated than Gnome. Also a lot faster for me to get it to a point where I feel like I like it, and it seems to use a lot less system resources (although it’s been a couple years since I daily’d linux, so it’s possible that’s different on Gnome these days).
But otherwise I don’t have a whole lot of specifics, it just feels a lot more mature in general, like I don’t have to search for anything I need DE-wise, it’s always right where I’d expect and extremely well-built. And any extra functionality from add-ins works nicely.

No I mean things like settings applets/notification tray/widget functionality being better integrated into the overall desktop environment.
And customizing just results in less “jank” than Gnome. IDK how else to describe it, but it just feels like a DE that was actually designed with functionality over looks. Not to say I think it looks bad, but there’s definitely less emphasis on “looking nice” over having the most robust experience, which I appreciate.
I do also like the broad strokes similarities to Windows just because things are where I expect a little more, but not really what I meant by mature, if that makes any sense.

It looks like Windows by default.
Who cares whe you can make KDE look almost any DE you want? :p
There’s no reason to stay with the out of the box look. Nearly everything is customizable and/or replaceable with an alternative.

Can you upload this theme?
What’s the best way to export everything? The name of the theme I used is in the info panel there but if there’s a way for me to export everything as I have it set I’m happy to help.
Otherwise I can get all the names of the different themes for ya.
Thanks that’s nice of you, but I don’t think there’s a way to export everything. I’ll try to copy it manually.
