Canonical got heavily into Qt (well QML actually) when they were going
to do a mobile phone. Lots of Go code. All dropped when the phone got
dropped.

Ubuntu is basically Debian with some proprietary stuff. So for a
(usually, caveat freezes) more rolling release Debian Sid is fine.
GNOME is the default but you can easily change to other GTK+ based UIs
or the full KDE and Qt thing.

I am guess Arch has a play in this game of rolling releases with GNOME
or KDE.

Fedora Rawhide like Debian Sid defaults to GNOME, but allows for a
switch to KDE. However Fedora Rawhide is, like Debian Sid, only sort of
a rolling release.
