switching to Linux because Windows ui are so boring (KDE is love KDE is life, I want to marry KDE)

Part of why I switched to Linux was this: https://youtu.be/JI-ye1oa4N8

Not that it's particularly pretty or usable, but like, the fact you can was just amazing. You can really do whatever you want with Linux.

Compiz won over so many new users back then. Wobbly windows and desktop cubes may not have been super practical, but they sure looked impressive.
- The amount of times I've tabbed in and out of WoW in front of my friends just to flex that not only it doesn't crash, but it's fancy too. Or just give the game a little shake and wobble to mess around while it's loading.

Switched to Linux a year ago. Haven't looked back since. I didn't even know Windows was getting those creepy ass advertisements all over the operating system if it weren't for the news here. Now I don't want to go back more.

2/10 rice, no tiled WM or anime waifu wallpaper

This is only a 5 minutes setup and I can't use tiled wm because I need my sanity, for the wallpaper I still haven't found one XD
- What has your sanity ever done for you?!

Doesn't look that dissimilar to Windows to me, am I missing something?!

Have you seen what Microsoft has been up to with Win11? KDE is basically windows if it chose not to shove ads directly into the user's eyeballs.

I want to marry KDE Join the polycule 😘

Yes, my EOS/KDE brother/sister/enby

Switched from Windows about a year ago, and have felt zero need to even try another distro or desktop environment.

How did you make the panel completely transparent?

I searched trans in KDE widget store (should show transparent panel), after installed add it to the panel and click on it while in editor mode (it's sometimes reset to default panel after restart)

welcome to the linux side :3

KDE is love, KDE is life!

🤔 hating the windows UI and then going to KDE which is basically a more customizable windows UI seems...odd

- The windows UI being boring doesn't necessarily have to be caused by a lack of customizability. The windows UI is just a boring UI design even if you make it more customizable. Makes it better, but doesn't fix the problem IMO.
I've seen that username before, do you create and/or maintain wofi?
- Yes I do lol, not very often I get recognized in the wild. Hello.
You can make KDE look entirely unlike Windows, its just up to preference.
- 🤔 I'm actually surprised it's THIS customizable. We're talking functionally right? Not just style. Idk I guess I'm not a huge fan of the "start menu/task bar" and having a desktop, maybe I'm the weird one though. I ran vanilla gnome and then sway so desktops and taskbars and all of that aren't really my thing.

I love and use Linux and while this looks better than the atrocity Microsoft is selling, let’s not fool ourselves. This is still ugly as hell.

That's your preference
- What is?
That's just personal preference tho. I don't personally like it either but that's part of the reason I use GNOME, I think that looks absolutely great. Great thing about Linux is that you don't have to use KDE Plasma or GNOME or whatever other DE, you can choose what you like the most.
- No Linux desktop has ever looked „great“. It’s only been a few years since they became somewhat presentable, but we’re not there yet.
No one is forcing you or anyone to use KDE. You don’t like it? Cool, choose one of the other options available.
- Thanks for explaining the concept of window managers to me who’s used Linux since decades 🙄
