Funny when I was a noob, I DEF stayed away from Distro's that were like Window. I left MS for a reason & one of them was a ridged thene design. The Linux "noob" distros, are a FAD & are setting people up for failure. It's not Windows and that's the beauty of it. It's something we deserve as a highly evolved technologically advanced society. Anything else is stagnant and holding us back as a species.

    Not everyone is the same. You might have left Windows because you want to theme and style your desktop. That's totally valid.

    But there are other people who left for other reasons (hardware support, spying, cost, AI being forced onto them, Win11 design being too different, ...). And for those people using a system that looks, feels and works similar to what they are used to can be very beneficial.

    Not everyone is the same and what works for one person might not work for another and vice versa.

    That's not my only Reason. I'm a power user, gaming, p2p automated server. I use AI for coding, also BTW I use arch 💯 I just think coming to Linux, to have windows pc, is defeating the purpose of leaving. ALSO i love customizing too. but that the least!
