From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Not on Sway, every Qt app i've used feels like it tries to put in every option and dialogs always look too busy, GTK is quite abstractive and opinionated but i'll deal with that
Apps looking odd or not is the job of the main drawing framework.
Qt themes are able to draw GTK but GTK can not draw Qt actually proves my point.
That likely has more to do with the culture of KDE vs GNOME. You can make pretty much the same UI with either toolkit.
