I think “to fit *the* GNOME desktop” might be better.

The description is a bit shallow, in my opinion. Both sentences say
that it fits the GNOME deskop, and part of the first sentence says it’s
“beautiful”. I don’t have strong objections to this description, but I
think we could do better.
(I also don’t really like the word “ecosystem” in this context.)
Otherwise this looks very good to me. (NOTE: I haven’t built the
package myself.)
