I agree with your assessment of KDE lacking "taste". Imo, it looks like a system designed by engineers, not designers. GNOME has the opposite problem imo. I feel like it has "taste", but it feels like a system fully designed by designers, with no engineers giving practical pushback. It's the same issue macOS has, but amplified: Designers have some grand idea about their vision being the one true way of using the system and made it hard to impossible to customize. I currently use KDE, but am not happy with it for the reasons you described. I used to use GNOME, but wasn't happy with it for the reasons above. I have high hopes for Cosmic [0]. It seems like that one might get the balance right. [0] https://system76.com/cosmic |

TBF, I was linked their more up to date screenshots in a sibling thread and it does look more consistent but it still seems off.

I don't like any of the Linux DEs tbh. They all have issues.
I might give KDE a go. But I think Debian does a poor job at packaging it and I don't really want to change distros.

I tried compiling Cosmic on source on Debian 12. I ran out of memory on the VM I was doing it on. I also found out that on Debian 12 their rustc was broken!
