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