I’m a gnome fan myself, though I’ve been using a lot of distros without systemd recently while gnome has started requiring it so I’m probably not going to be seeing gnome for a while.
Possible? Yes. Accomplishable, dunno. You can get very close visually etc. Far closer than making GNOME look like KDE. But I have a feeling that some of the panel meaning dropdowns etc would be the first places to falter. Though, maybe someone has fitting panel apps already.
I’m not sure what’s wrong with my config but almost every time I wake it from having the screens off (it doesn’t sleep because it’s my media PC too) plasma is just dead and may or may not boot up again. Running plasmashell —replace (or whatever the command is) doesn’t fix it every time.
I blame nvidia too, this used to happen to me, but hasn’t so far since using hyprland, etc (maybe because hypridle isn’t so complicated when setup to use the basic commands for turning off screens/sleeping).
I had to change mine every few months because they keep deprecating stuff. Changed to Niri a week ago because I got dozens of config errors after an update.
Default configs are very great, but to be fair, a lot of people who use hyprland would be hardcore ricers, so I can see why deprecations would hit most advanced users quite hard.
Me using KDE Plasma because I prefer to work with my computer rather than work on my computer:
The rare double ambiguity: “work on” and “work with” could both have two meanings with opposite effects in the sentence
I caved and used KDE on my last install, and boy do I miss Gnome.
Not that KDE is bad, but Gnome is just so my style.

That’s interesting. I come from the Gentoo world, so Gnome without systemd isn’t too uncommon.
Couldn’t you just install Gnome now? Most distros have packages for Gnome and KDE, and there’s usually nothing stopping you from installing them both.
I could, but I’ll probably stick with KDE until I reinstall. It ain’t broke, just not exactly what I want.
can’t you just customise KDE to just work like gnome?
Yes but it takes a lot of work
There’s probably thirty Global Theme packs that do exactly that with a single click

For the most part, yes, but as the commenter above put it so eloquently…

(I actually do sleep my machine)
If you get back to plasma, here is a solution: https://askubuntu.com/a/1559274/1866429
You need to pass an option to Nvidia in the grub launch commend that will keep the buffer or something.

i use kde but i do like it heavily customised, im not going through 1000 config files to make it 1% smoother and to change the wallpaper tho
These folks have a skill issue tho, haven’t touched my hyprland config in ages. Just don’t overcomplicate/bloat your config, it’s not that hard.
