I dont know about what actually does into a distro and desktop and everything else
Well, if you want to learn, check out the Archwiki. Arch has amazing documentation. Just reading through the installation instructions can teach you a lot:

It's best practice to actually read the posy before commenting rather than commenting on the post title and ignoring its text.
Well, if you want to know what Gnome is supposed to look like (I mean the "default" setup) check out Fedora Workstation. Anything that looks different from that is modified. Several other Distros ship with a default Gnome desktop as well - OpenSuse Tumbleweed/Leap, Arch's default setup, Vanilla OS, et al.
Gnome is actually one of the more difficult to modify. By default, there's light mode, dark mode, and... that's it. However, you can make some pretty radical changes with extensions and user themes. While it's fairly easy to add extensions, user themes take a bit more more work to get going, and require some knowledge of CSS to make.
Does that answer your question?
I have nothing against Budgie, I just haven't used it. It looks pretty nice, though 😀
Nothing surprising about it.
An updated CDE? Well I'll be truing that out for certain!
Ah. I did not realize that. My bad.
If you're not having performance issues, then I don't see much reason to change. Sure, Xorg is basically in maintenance mode, but so what? Your setup works for you, so do your thing.
That said, Sway is a window manager intended to be a drop in replacement for i3 on Wayland, and is pretty close from what I hear: https://swaywm.org/
Plasma is very good with Wayland, although you might want to wait for Plasma 6, since they're apparently making several improvements, and it's due out soon anyway: https://www.phoronix.com/news/Plasma-6-Wayland-Great
You can install Wayland and switch sessions during login too, so you can check it for yourself and see if your i3 dotfiles work with Sway.
With i3, that isn't as simple, since i3 doesn't support Wayland. You'd need to install a WM which supports Wayland + customize it, to be able to switch back and forth.
While it's not as simple as KDE, switching from i3 isn't that hard thanks to Sway. It's a tiling window manager that's intended to be used as a drop-in replacement for i3 on Wayland:
I haven't tried Trinity, mostly because KDE 3 was a bad experience for me. It's certainly an interesting project, though.
Well, it's not about overeating for one thing. The stuff is everywhere in American food. Assuming you're in the States, you've probably consumed a lot more corn syrup than you think within the past year, and the stuff isn't good for you. Here's an article from the Cleveland Clinic about why it's probably not the best thing to eat:

Now, as I initially said, I don't know about banning it, but I kinda feel like warning labels are justified, and maybe some other restrictions.
Also… I live in Iowa, and frankly the corn subsidies that have helped cause the corn sweetener explosion are destroying the environment here. It's a lot to get into, but corn production at this scale causes changes to weather patterns. It's a lot.
So, I'd like to see corn subsidies ended, or at least reduced a lot. This would make corn sweetener more expensive and therefore a less attractive ingredient.
Not exactly. The Distros can make lots of changes. Ubuntu officially supports Gnome, but has a bunch of preinstalled extensions and settings tweaks that change the look and feel.
If you want to know the "official" look of Gnome, as I said, check out Fedora. By default, I'm pretty sure the only enabled plugin puts the Fedora name in the bottom right corner.
In fact, if you want to know what the most plain, standard setup for any major DE is, check Fedora's spin: Fedora KDE, XFCE, LXDE, and so on all start very vanilla on Fedora.
