Why would you need KDE to use Qt?

And IIRC Qt has a GTK theme nowadays that makes it look not terrible (high praise, I know).



Got a link or more info regarding the theme?


I was thinking of breeze-gtk[0] but that's KDE-specific.

It’s literally the other way around - “GTK theme that looks like Qt”.


To be extremely pedantic, I never said it was a Qt theme :P

I said that Qt has a GTK theme. It doesn't, but KDE does have a GTK theme.


I never said that. Ofc Qt apps work just fine on any desktop environment you have (or even none), but they still look off if run Qt app on Gnome. Looking off == not native.


I didn't take your message to mean you need Plasma specifically, I interpreted it as you needing some library from KDE.
