Most of my computers use Void and the system is very minimal and I do my best to avoid getting Qt installed โ€” my distaste for which comes back from the days when Qt software in general was more bloated and slow, I know that in comparison it might no longer be true, but it's a matter of habit.

Unlike Qt, which is a monolithic behemoth, software being GNOME usually doesn't mean a thing โ€” it's not even that tightly integrated, it just means that UI is GTK-based, maybe with a few additional minor dependencies, which is fine by me. Again, that might turn out to not be true โ€” there is software built in Vala.

I remember using gnome on someone else's laptop and found the memes about it true

I haven't tried GNOME (or any full DE) in a while โ€” they might be all awful to me at this point ๐Ÿ˜‚ I want just the basic window management: be it dwm or sway, and I want to map shortcuts to launch the software I want. I already rely on some GTK-based software so I have the libraries installed, GNOME software isn't something deeply integrated โ€” in most cases it's just something GTK-based โ€” already having those libraries makes me fine with it.
