      The windows UI being boring doesn’t necessarily have to be caused by a lack of customizability. The windows UI is just a boring UI design even if you make it more customizable. Makes it better, but doesn’t fix the problem IMO.

          That’s fair, also I’m not saying KDE doesn’t have a use case, for example people who are tired of windows for one reason or another but like the windows UI. Cinnamon has a similar use case which is one of many reasons I think mint is a great starter distro. I just found it odd that somebody who didn’t like the windows UI went to that desktop over the other less Windows like desktops. Comment got ratioed so hard people seem to think I’m hating on the guy or his rice but I just find it odd to not like the windows UI and then go to one of the most Windows like desktops.

          isnt that the point of using a 3rd party option. while windows isnt as customizable as Linux, i fond it odd that people are trying to customize the native windows button instead of using a 3rd party one and customizing that, in which you would have much more control of the function.
