Im genuinely curious as to what themes and DE you’re using that looks better. In Windows everything is slick and polished, stuff slides and bounces around, the colours are consistent and work together, it’s all pretty elegant. I’m using KDE right now and all that I get is the start menu thing changes shade when I hover the mouse over it. I also use Gnome and XFCE, Gnome is pretty good and XFCE is obviously really basic.
I use KDE. Have you messed with “edit mode” on the desktop yet (just right click on the desktop and hit “edit mode”). There’s also tons of themes and other visual customizations on their site (that you can either access manually on a browser, or access through KDE itself when in the theme settings).
You just answered my question. I was going to ask you earlier and then forgot to hit send. Because I thought plasma actually looked really slick, so I was going to recommend it. Especially with how customizable it is.
The biggest annoyance that was to get used to was the change in overall size of the menu bars, but once you’ve been using Linux for a week or two, it actually hurts your eyes going back onto Windows again.

As someone who is still required to use Windows on my work laptop, hard disagree.

I despise the way Windows looks and feels.
