Isnt gnome a bit more resource intensive? also like the option of more customization if i ever wanna change the layout or aesthetic.

Man I feel like I dodged a bullet switching to Fedora right before this AUR fuckery started to happen…

Luckily for me, I switched from Cachy to Fedora kde right before the AUR attacks started happening. Fedora honestly feels like home to me now. I customized it to have a very Gnome like workflow, and its working flawlessly for me.
