Well I use,

1. META+E: Files
2. CTRL+SHIFT+ESC: System Monitor
3. META+I: Settings
4. ALT+TAB: Switch Windows

They paid millions in user trails and data to get there and then did windows 8

Ah when I got my android phone as a kid copied the newest iPhone with it to show you didn’t need to pay all that for the same experience. Transitionary times are fun

But many Linux DEs are made to be similar to Windows anyway. They are serving generally the same purpose of supporting the file/app world. It’s about time we moved on to a more streamlined user friendly world. But people’s lack of imagination holds us back.

I tweaked my KDE desktop to look like XFCE.
What does that make me?

But at least it’s windows XP, right?

I tweaked to look like windows xp, loved the retro feeling

I made my KDE desktop look like Windows 7 and I like it

What’s wrong with wanting a UI you’re used to?

Everyone wants other people to switch to Linux until they do literally anything a purist wouldn’t do with their own personal setup 😅

Windows is a fine operating system. The NT kernel is pretty good, all things considered, and the design and UX of XP, Vista, and 7 were overall pretty peak. The main problem with Windows is and always has been Microsoft. Expose theme 4 lyfe.

I use Windows from Scratch. I built all the bloatware and telemtry myself, god damn it!

Aha ! I choose a distro that looked like Windows out of the box, so did not tweak anything, joke’s on you i’m no psycho

I like making mine look like “XP if I got to make it do what I want and have things like dark mode.”

I just miss the era :)

Having grown up with a Mac before OS X came out, I liked that I could make XFCE look a bit more like OS 9, but I haven’t been able to find a suitable equivalent for kde yet.

I might give a Windows 7 theme a try. As much as I hate Microsoft, I’ve been feeling unusually nostalgic for 7. That one was kind of peak for gaming.

only for gaming compatibility
