The main reason Valve doesn't step in is because it would cost them money. Moderating content is expensive as hell and these corporations will bend themselves backwards finding any and every way to avoid it.
but just by itself this comment is basically a marketing post.

KDE also has outreach programs
I'm curious, do you have any links?
KDE is relatively smaller in scope than GNOME. Besides, GNOME has taken on its own hurdles like compatibility across devices, the userbase is also different so they're less likely to contribute towards areas like gaming for example.
What lets GNOME dominate developer wise right now are adwaita and the language barrier - KDE is mostly c++, whereas in GNOME you'll find a mix of languages and outreach programs like GNOME circle.
You gotta load up Gnome with hundreds of extension
You don't have to though? I use vanilla GNOME. Customization is never free, if you aren't using it it's just bloat and the more you add the more it slows down development.
KDE is following GNOME in dropping x11 support in early 2027. The only solution if you want to still use x11 going forward is to get a LTS like ubuntu and bunker up for the next 10 years.
Book 5 of stormlight archives came out in 2024.
Wine has been able to run on wayland for a while now, though upstream wine uses a different wayland pipeline than proton-ge that uses em10/wine-wayland.
Ubuntu's GNOME is quite different from the vanilla GNOME you'll find in fedora.
Extensions can crash your system on GNOME as they modify the shell itself, so running incompatible extensions is a real problem. The upside to this is that when you find an extension and it has your version on it, it's guaranteed to run. Fyi you can easilly override the version requirements.
