I had to change mine every few months because they keep deprecating stuff. Changed to Niri a week ago because I got dozens of config errors after an update.
Possible? Yes. Accomplishable, dunno. You can get very close visually etc. Far closer than making GNOME look like KDE. But I have a feeling that some of the panel meaning dropdowns etc would be the first places to falter. Though, maybe someone has fitting panel apps already.
I’m not sure what’s wrong with my config but almost every time I wake it from having the screens off (it doesn’t sleep because it’s my media PC too) plasma is just dead and may or may not boot up again. Running plasmashell —replace (or whatever the command is) doesn’t fix it every time.
I blame nvidia too, this used to happen to me, but hasn’t so far since using hyprland, etc (maybe because hypridle isn’t so complicated when setup to use the basic commands for turning off screens/sleeping).
Me using KDE Plasma because I prefer to work with my computer rather than work on my computer:
These folks have a skill issue tho, haven’t touched my hyprland config in ages. Just don’t overcomplicate/bloat your config, it’s not that hard.

I caved and used KDE on my last install, and boy do I miss Gnome.
Not that KDE is bad, but Gnome is just so my style.
Couldn’t you just install Gnome now? Most distros have packages for Gnome and KDE, and there’s usually nothing stopping you from installing them both.
I could, but I’ll probably stick with KDE until I reinstall. It ain’t broke, just not exactly what I want.
can’t you just customise KDE to just work like gnome?
Yes but it takes a lot of work
There’s probably thirty Global Theme packs that do exactly that with a single click
For the most part, yes, but as the commenter above put it so eloquently…

The rare double ambiguity: “work on” and “work with” could both have two meanings with opposite effects in the sentence
