PysimpleGUI
For native GUI, DearPyGui[0] as modern as you can.
For browser web-based GUI, you can use nicegui[1]

Need help with text alignment
If it's just to align text in the centre or to the right of a box, you could use a button and, by using theming, hide the fact that it's a button. https://github.com/hoffstadt/DearPyGui/issues/1111

Which GUI module is better in Python? tkinter or PyQt or kivy?
Personally, i like PyQt or PySide they have basically everything you need to make a proper app or even simple apps, but there is another DearPyGui this is basically python version of imgui the c++ library, it provides some good customization options and can be used for simple or complex projects too, their discord is also very helpful.

What to look for in a GUI?
I'm a big fan of DearPyGUI

Centering text in window/
Use a button and set width of the button equal to the width of the window. Using theming to set the button text alignment to center. A comparable solution, for aligning to the right, can be found here. https://github.com/hoffstadt/DearPyGui/issues/1111

What tools are available to begin building a GUI for python?
I was using PyQt5/PySide which will give you a nice native look but I eventually shifted over to DearPyGui for most of my smaller utilities. Its just faster for me. You will get more options and freedom with PyQt/PySide though and can use QT Designer to design your interfaces pretty easily.

Industrial Controller? Windows or Linux?
You might also want to look at AvaloniaUI[0] for a cross platform .NET GUI library. It is similar to WPF but much nicer to work with.

AvaloniaUI: Create Multi-Platform Apps with .NET
Production user here. There's no money gotchas. They're above reproach. In fact, I've received considerable free support from their devs on GitHub Issues [1].
The Avalonia business model is based on selling XPF, which runs WPF (Windows-only) apps on other platforms. That's very interesting to big corps with existing codebases.

.NET on Linux: What a Contrast
Yes, but the portable GUI frameworks by Microsoft themselves are generally not very good, and they tend to be abandoned after a couple of years.
Avalonia is developed outside of the Microsoft corporate madness and seems to be slowly becoming the defacto cross-platform framework because it is expected to last a bit longer than a manager's attention span: https://avaloniaui.net/

Ask HN: Do you have a problem you'd pay to have taken away?
Not my comment, but relevant here "The problem with compiling Skia to WASM is you'll lose any benefits of hardware graphics acceleration on the device."

.NET 8 – .NET Blog
It's a bit of a hit and miss as of today. CLI, back-end and natively compiled libraries (think dll/so/dylib or even .lib/.a - you can statically link NAOT binaries into other "unmanaged" code) work best, GUI - requires more work.
Avalonia[0] and MAUI[1] have known working templates with it, but YMMV.

One Game, by One Man, on Six Platforms: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly
For desktop, Avalonia, hands down.
https://avaloniaui.net/
Open source, powered by Skia, backed by JetBrains, and quite battle-tested at this point for small to medium-sized apps. In theory perfectly capable for enterprise as well, since it's basically a spiritual successor to WPF, which has been an industry standard for about 15 years.
They're diving into mobile and WASM well, but that's more of a recent effort and I haven't tested that yet.
