I’ve been using KDE as my personal daily driver for a few years now. At work I have to use MacOS, and it feels like a serious downgrade. Just about everything is easier and more intuitive on KDE. It’s the single best desktop I’ve ever used.

What kinds of things are you talking about?

These days I feel like all of the major desktop environments are good enough. 95% of what I do with them is launch applications and move or resize windows and that’s easy enough on all of them.

macOS and Windows are both now laden with more marketing and advertisements than actual features. When you step onto GNOME or KDE nowadays, it really does feel like a breath of fresh air.

I reciprocate their comment; 5-10 years ago the cross-OS experience was pretty samey. Now I just feel deeply upset when a relative brings me their Mac/Windows machine asking to make the popups go away.
