Nice! I recently tried KDE Plasma and I’ve been really impressed not just with the polish but with the look and feel that still kind of reminds me of Windows without being Windows.

Yeah, it's like all the good parts of the Windows UI (whichever version you like best) without the bad parts, and also customizable so you can make it work best for you, and not what some corporation decides is best this year.

I've seen Plasma, Xfce, and GNOME. I like the last one the most, so I'm using it on all of my systems.

I can't stand GNOME, but I understand that other people like it.

Love me some Plasma. I'm still running the default styles after over a year as well. It's just nice.

I really should spend some time experimenting with customizations though
