Hi there,
I'm new to Linux and was trying different distros and desktop enviroments the last months. What I find confusing is the fact that the same application can look different in another enviroment. For example GParted looks fine under Gnome desktop but poor under KDE Plasma.
So I wonder if the Linux GUI world is somewhat splittet into two or more visually uncompatible systems. Is the KDE / QT world more like a seperated niche and not well integrated into the Linux GUI eco system and the majority of GUI applications are based on Gnome / GTK? Is that true?
What is generally easier to achieve? Making Qt apps look native under Gnome shell or GTK apps under KDE Plasma?
