They've been doing well on that front so far, even if I find the mobile-isms creeping into things like System Settings grating and uncomfortable.
Otherwise, for my PyQt/PySide creations, I'll have to retro-construct a HIG for a Qt 6-flavoured version of the de facto "standard UI" that was emerging from the cross-pollination of Windows 7 and below, pre-Kirigami KDE, GNOME 2, and Mac OS by sourcing elements of the current KDE HIG and the vintage Macintosh and Windows HIGs on my developer CD-ROMs so I have something I can reference in my contributor guidelines.
(Hell, I should probably do that anyway, given how many "Why should I do it this way?" rationales in the 1992 Macintosh HIG are still very relevant but seem to have been forgotten.)
