I can't stand GNOME so much that I am doing Plasma 6 (I used pre-Plasma KDE waaaaaay back) And I was disappointed in 4 (never had a chance to try 5. It is "ok". There are some rough edges and yeah, 86 more wheels, is... a good way to put it.
But I just can't handle looking at the most boring ass desktop. And Mint's desktop is only slightly better than GNOME. I have thought about using a Tiling WM or even just an boring old stacking WM without a DE, but I'm not sure I'm that hardcore.
I'm curious what you mean about how KDE6 should have been? It seems to me that Win95 is what Cinnamon/Mate are? Is it because it's too "tweakable" - the anti-GNOME? That's what I read the wheels comment as.
I haven't really used static apps, because I prefer to just use the default package system (running CachyOS (Arch based) and it seems pretty nice. DPKG was my favorite til now. Though I imagine the world is going to be more and more going to static packaging. It certainly helps reduce dll hell.
