Introducing GNOME 46, "Kathmandu"
Oh yeah, no. Multiple entire desktop environments with significant popularity (Cinnamon, MATE) owe their existence today to how universally hated GNOME 3 was, and how obstinant and intolerant the GNOME developers were towards differing opinions that challenged their "vision".
In fact, the same thing is sorta playing out even right now with GTK4 and other GNOME stuff, though I think with somewhat less public spectacle but arguably even larger development efforts behind it:

Start menu icon
Other editions of Solus use Papirus icons (https://github.com/PapirusDevelopmentTeam/papirus-icon-theme/releases), and the Budgie project created its own menu icon recently: https://github.com/BuddiesOfBudgie/budgie-desktop/blob/main/data/icons/actions/budgie-menu-symbolic.svg

I Still Use Windows 95 (archived, 2008)
Budgie might be worth checking out (I've used it on Manjaro): https://github.com/BuddiesOfBudgie/budgie-desktop It was extremely responsive on a 2009 laptop.
Otherwise whatever AntiX and Puppy use, which are mouse-driven UIs, are probably lower-resource than Budgie.

don't get me wrong, Linux is great and it's my daily driver, but... who pays for everything?
You claim that Solus doesn't have any, but the budgie desktop has over 70 different contributors. https://github.com/BuddiesOfBudgie/budgie-desktop/graphs/contributors

Vala Programming Language
I just learned that the Budgie Desktop is written in Vala.
https://github.com/BuddiesOfBudgie/budgie-desktop
Also, on Arch I use Pamac as a GUI for package management and it is written in Vala as well.
I have used apps for quite a long time before realizing they were written in Vala. Not great for marketing but otherwise I would consider that one of its strengths.

He probably didn't even bother to try Proton
Just played games on Linux for the first time. It's way easier than I originally thought since Proton is integrated into Steam client. Can even run non-Steam games through Steam client but had to use protontricks to add dependencies like Visual C++ redistributables.

Modding Question
ALSO if a mod has some kind of external dependency, like if it specifically mentions needing VisualC or .NET Runtime, Protontricks will be a lifesaver for installing these into Proton prefixes. Might not need it often, but could come in handy to know anyways.
-
Will there ever be any linux support?
I'm learning a bit more about Proton. You can install Protontricks and then run protontricks 824270 and it should install stuff for you.

Techniques to Get DX9 Games Working, The Maw in Particular?
That might be a problem, you could try to install native d3dx9 and xact to the game's wine prefix using winetricks or protontricks. I'd try d3dx9 on it's own first.
