    So it like you used this service for long, then the one who responsible for the service sucks suddenly, the alternative of that service is somewhat close but not carbon copy of your service, apparently you can involve yourself in adjusting the alternative to your liking , it is optional but alass it is inevitable.

    Welcome to the world of customization, customer.

    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.

    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 KDE for lyfe.

    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 😅

    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.

      I like kde a lot, but their theming is kinda shit. The win7 themes dont really achieve aero effects that well.
