I think that's okay, KDE and GNOME can coexist and approach things differently, but standardize on things that matter through FreeDesktop.org
When distro maintainers ship with poor font configurations, the world have to suffer with blurry fonts (specially on dark backgrounds)..
Everyone should pick the freetype2 patches from ChromeOS, it makes a huge difference
FREETYPE_PROPERTIES=truetype:interpreter-version=35
There has been rumours that theming may be dead though? Appearently it's harder to theme things in Gnome 42 but I don't know why.
> Ubuntu 22.04 includes the bulk of the recent GNOME 42 release plus a number of apps and libraries carried from GNOME 40 (and earlier). Why this mix? Well, GNOME 42 features a lot of GTK4 & libadwaita ports of many core apps. Ubuntu didn’t feel like they’d get enough testing before its April deadline so held back.
> The good news is that a good chunk of GNOME Shell 42 is included in Ubuntu 22.04, including an updated GNOME Shell desktop, its new screenshot tool, a backport of the new ‘Privacy’ panel in the Settings app, and the latest version of the Nautilus file manager.
