Part of why I switched to Linux was this: https://youtu.be/JI-ye1oa4N8
Not that it's particularly pretty or usable, but like, the fact you can was just amazing. You can really do whatever you want with Linux.
Compiz won over so many new users back then. Wobbly windows and desktop cubes may not have been super practical, but they sure looked impressive.
The amount of times I've tabbed in and out of WoW in front of my friends just to flex that not only it doesn't crash, but it's fancy too. Or just give the game a little shake and wobble to mess around while it's loading.
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

What the actual fu... oh its 2009
2/10 rice, no tiled WM or anime waifu wallpaper
This is only a 5 minutes setup and I can't use tiled wm because I need my sanity, for the wallpaper I still haven't found one XD
What has your sanity ever done for you?!
Keep me alive
Fair enough
Switched to Linux a year ago. Haven't looked back since. I didn't even know Windows was getting those creepy ass advertisements all over the operating system if it weren't for the news here. Now I don't want to go back more.
I want to marry KDE Join the polycule 😘
Doesn't look that dissimilar to Windows to me, am I missing something?!
Have you seen what Microsoft has been up to with Win11? KDE is basically windows if it chose not to shove ads directly into the user's eyeballs.
The difference is this can be customized exactly as they want. It may be similar, but the little differences are stuff that you can't change in Windows.
🤔 hating the windows UI and then going to KDE which is basically a more customizable windows UI seems...odd
I've seen that username before, do you create and/or maintain wofi?
Yes I do lol, not very often I get recognized in the wild. Hello.
thanks for your work! I use it every day. And btw, I thought that moving from windows to plasma because the UI was boring was weird too(at least aesthetically).
LOL, yeah, honestly with how hard I got ratioed it's like I offended someone XD. I just found it an odd choice to complain about windows aesthetics and then be like "here's my fancier windows" but to each their own. Anyway, glad you like the project and find it useful.
You can make KDE look entirely unlike Windows, its just up to preference.
🤔 I'm actually surprised it's THIS customizable. We're talking functionally right? Not just style. Idk I guess I'm not a huge fan of the "start menu/task bar" and having a desktop, maybe I'm the weird one though. I ran vanilla gnome and then sway so desktops and taskbars and all of that aren't really my thing.
Definitely. You don't need to have a task bar or start menu in KDE, it's just the default. I usually have on panel on the left or right with my workspaces and system tray. I use the overview to manage windows instead of a taskbar, like gnome. I put krunner, the built in app runner on super

Yes, my EOS/KDE brother/sister/enby
Switched from Windows about a year ago, and have felt zero need to even try another distro or desktop environment.
I love and use Linux and while this looks better than the atrocity Microsoft is selling, let’s not fool ourselves. This is still ugly as hell.
That's just personal preference tho. I don't personally like it either but that's part of the reason I use GNOME, I think that looks absolutely great. Great thing about Linux is that you don't have to use KDE Plasma or GNOME or whatever other DE, you can choose what you like the most.
No Linux desktop has ever looked „great“. It’s only been a few years since they became somewhat presentable, but we’re not there yet.
Ok and I disagree. Aside from Android, I think GNOME is the best looking OS/desktop in general. Don't act like your opinion is the universal truth.

No one is forcing you or anyone to use KDE. You don’t like it? Cool, choose one of the other options available.
Thanks for explaining the concept of window managers to me who’s used Linux since decades 🙄
Uhm, okay.
How did you make the panel completely transparent?
I searched trans in KDE widget store (should show transparent panel), after installed add it to the panel and click on it while in editor mode (it's sometimes reset to default panel after restart)
welcome to the linux side :3
Decided to throw OpenSUSE Tumbleweed on an old laptop the other day. Haven't fooled with it enough to run up against any limitations yet, but I gotta say I'm pleasantly surprised so far.
