Bazzite has a KDE version too. I think it is more popular then the GNOME version of bazzite actually. At least according to the results of the latest steam survey

Yep I use KDE-flavored Bazzite and actually forgot GNOME was even offered! It works deliciously. Came over from Windows last winter finally and boy, the UI alone is just so much nicer.

I had avoided KDE for years due to some multi-screen resolution issues back in the day.

I'd be running gnome, and install a half dozen plugins to make it look and feel closer to Windows It was just a personal preference. Every other update some plugin I was using would be broken. I'd replace it with another plug-in or uninstall it and wait for a fix. Fight fight fight fight fight fight. Some number of years later I tried KDE again, and I realized that it did exactly what I was trying to do in Gnome but it did it out of the box.

I don't have anything against Gnome. The same way I don't have anything against OS X's "window manager" or even Windows 11's "window manager" they're just not my preference.

Bottom left navigation, thin, stacked app indicators, bottom right tray. Fractional scaling, widgets.
