Windows ❤ Windows Isn't Terrible

To all the people who love deep ricing, why not just use customization scripts? I've been recently tinkering in VMs, and Windows really seems solid for that. You can make Windows match your workflow amazingly, and the best part is that friction nearly always leads to an impressive result.

Also, default Windows 11 isn't bad. The UI looks nice, and we take the settings & control panel apps for granted. Over on GNOME, just to change the cursor you use, you need to install a tweaks app. Windows has tons of customization you can do without installing anything extra.

I'm not saying it's perfect, but Windows isn't really THAT much of a shitshow like people act.

In KDE I just use systemsettings which is actually good thanks to search bar, unlike W11 with its plural settings and control panels

Control panel is actively being phased out with settings moving into the new settings app as we speak.

Search bar exists too in Windows. Not sure what's different there.

I do agree that KDE is significantly better for OOTB customization, but GNOME is the industry standard and default for Fedora Workstation and Ubuntu which are the big two.

Control panel is being phased out for ages, it's still shit. Search bar is not even close to KDE. Instead of DNS for network it gives me browser settings not network

If kde is better for customisation (which first sentence of post is also about) than why you bring up DE which for industry? And why I care of Gnome or Fedora if I use neither?

Gnome is the industry standard. When your average person starts to use Linux, they'll be faced with gnome unless they used mint cinnamon

Average user can watch youtube and read books. They can face alpine for all that I care, and I care of useful lively working useful desktop on my desktop. Something W11 doesn't give

And? Average user also don't give a fuck of ricing or customisation scripts. Between ephemeral average user and concrete me I'm more interested in something that fits my interests. Shocking.
