Sway mixed with KDE,
games don't really like it and Pipewire doesn't work for video recording for some reason (it has to do with the KDE xdg-desktop-portal) but it's a small price to pay for salvation I guess.
I know Sway is a window manager, not a DE - but KDE applications and services seem to fill the gaps.
They're not necessary, but you won't catch me dead with a GTK file chooser popup open, and I haven't figured out how to set up Ranger to replace Dolphin (nor do I really want to).
I'd say the US is close to perfectly capitalist, if you have enough money you can just rent legislators and call that "lobbying" (as opposed to renting legislators and callying it "bribing" or "corruption", which isn't much better tbf).
