    For me KDE is “Windows UI done right”. The layout I prefer, done better than by a trillion dollar corporation. Ergonomic. Beautiful. Just right.

    At the same time, Cinnamon, originating from GNOME in an attempt to make it more “Windows-like”, is my personal horror, like a collection of all things Windows has done wrong and then some more. Bulky. Rigid. Poor and complicated personalization. But that’s truly the beauty of it - for some, Cinnamon is superb.

    As per non-Windows style layouts, I tried to force myself to get to know and love them, but they really don’t click with me. Windows has done it the way I like, and KDE does it in a way that I don’t want to go back to genuine Windows UI, either.

      Perfect - yes, that’s exactly how it should be. I put plasma neon on an old laptop and went back to wipe it with a new distro but it worked so well I just left it.
