Yeah I tend to Gnome but was thinking to give this to the wife that is a windows gal ಥ_ಥ she might be better off with cinnamon

If she's used to Windows, KDE might be a better choice. It runs well on my 2012 Intel i3 dual core, 8GB RAM laptop.

Last time I tried KDE was like 2013… it has been a long time. How does it play with flatpacks designed for gnome?

I just installed the Flatpak version of Inkscape (the first GTK application, that came into my mind, where it makes sense to have the latest version installed) and the Breeze dark theme works for me.

I'm using Debian Bookworm btw ;-)

I use some GNOME apps and they work fine. KDE has good support for GTK theming ;)
