As a KDE Plasma user, I was always jealous of some of the nicer GNOME apps. Recently I realised that I don&#39;t need to be. I can run GNOME apps on KDE Plasma just fine! Sure, they look a little different, but they work just as they would on GNOME. 🗳️ Do you mix apps from different desktops?

@fell@ma.fellr.net I'm Sway user and use whatever app fills my need. Iced (or is it Smithay?) is also very nice.

@fell@ma.fellr.net I use fvwm as my window manager, and an assortment of apps on top (though, to be honest, mostly emacs and firefox :) )

@fell@ma.fellr.net voted for using gnome and gnome apps, I like Libadwaita design language a lot and I'm borderline obsessive in terms of design cohesiveness. I feel like GNOME Apps and its developer just get it when in terms of UX design.

@fell@ma.fellr.net I'm endlessly frustrated when a Gnome app doesn't let me use my KDE system titlebars. I just want my keep-above and pin buttons.
