…and you are implying that Microsoft Windows 11 is a better example of ”great user experience”?
For the general user, yes absolutely.
Linux DEs still can't match the accessibility features alone.
yeah, there's layers and layers of progressively older UIs layered around the OS, but most of it makes sense, is laid out sanely, and is relatively consistent with other dialogs.
macOS beats it, but its still better in a lot of ways over the big Linux DEs.
I prefer it. Linux desktop feels a lot more laggy to me on the same hardware.
Of course that is minus all the recent AI/ad stuff on Windows…
