Maybe it will be best to give up right now and use GNOME. I hate it, but let’s be honest most of the time people are running KDE and others will end up with a bunch of GNOME/GTK/libadwaita components and creating a Frankenstein of a system because some specific App depends on said components.
There’s no point on running anything else if you’ll end up with parts of GNOME and inconsistencies all over the place.
