Just gonna jump in with the alternate view, if you like Windows desktop but not Windows, KDE is just amazing now. I didn’t enjoy it much in be KDE3 and 4 days but I’m loving Plasma 6.

Plasma 6 has worked flawlessly for me, even on NVIDIA graphics out of the box (Arch, btw).

KDE just feels like windows, and just as disjointed.

(To any devs that may read this: I acknowledge a LOT of development progress and features you all have added, it's just not my cup of tea!)
