But kde is so nice
It's windows that mimics kde plasma tho
You can make kde macOS, easy, if you really want. KDE is whatever you want it to be

I had to convince my cousin I bought him a Mac, but I didn't want to support a Mac, so I tweaked KDE to look like OSX. He thought it was great how cheap he got a laptop, and was surprised Dell made Macs now. Had him fooled for about 2 years until he asked some kid to help him do something.
I just shrugged and asked him if he'd have known if he hadn't been told. Yah, cuz knows cows, not computers.
Is this like a real anecdote? Two years⦠no problems no questions ?
If youβre setting up a computer for family then youβre the one who deals with the problems
For most people that is just running a browser so issues are unlikely to surface

Come on, everyone knows you're supposed to tweak your Linux to look like MacOS on mushrooms.
I always leaned into "Commercial Unix Workstation Circa 1993". I've considered CDE/NsCDE, but a lot of the pack-in software is of limited value, so I'm going for FVWM on the desktop and MWM on the laptop.
I should mod my big tower case to look like a brother of a HP 712.

On the contrary, if you do that, some users wouldn't even notice they switched to linux!
Or you can do a little trolling
I have MATE setup to look like OSX. Beach ball go BRRR.
I was gonna say, everyone I know and myself tweaks them to look like a Mac. π
Apple is really the only company that did serious research on building their initial UIs with their human interface guidelines. Itβs clear they donβt anymore, and everything is about driving engagement or whatever, but like during the golden era of OS X, Tiger, their UI was far superior, and most desktop environments borrow much of that stuff to this day. I now want a hat that says βMake macOS Tiger againβ

Believes anyone asking for tech support is consciously aware of Windows versions
Lol. Lmao even
When I ran Cinnamon Mint I definitely did this. Looked like Windows 7.
Can you make it have those Aero glass effects that was the coolest shit
Legitimately best OS theme ever.

Funny, I tweaked my Linux PC at work to look like Windows XP. It's so cursed, I love it.

I fucking love KDEs Windows 95 theming for some of the interface, while still looking sleek and fast as hell. That and the Plastik theme for the minimize, fullscreen, and exit buttons. :)
I do this, legitimately -- but with a very specific application: Firefox. On Windows, I can get firefox top border to a VERY small amount. But for some reason, in the past -- every Linux distro I found, when Firefox is maximized, I still get an additional window decoration on the top, above the browser tabs. My Firefox bar on Windows only takes up 64 pixels of height.
For those that like firefox drawing its titlebar instead of using the system one (I can those psychopaths) it's literally a right click on some part of the ui, customize and at bottom there's an option about which titlebar to use.
For thise that like firefox drawing its titlebar instead of using the system one (I can those psychopaths)
Psychopath here. I'm so much of a psychopath, I made a custom userChrome css to fix Firefox not using the system gtk decorations when using themes.

Honestly, you do you.
i used to tweak windows to look like Linux.
you mean move the task bar to the side or top?
yep. and a wallpaper too.
Windows 11 be like: We don't do that anymore!
That is actually what brought me back to Linux, I used to run Ubuntu and then Mint around 2010 but had to switch to Windows for work (and stuck around because it works well enough) but the taskbar being stuck on the bottom bothered me enough to finally make the switch back.
Eh, if you like the style, theme it to your heart's content
Well... I did, it was fun to see the IT support team of my work shaking every time they access my machine to some maintenance:
I've been using Fedora (Gnome) on my laptop, but I'm going to try the KDE spin when my Framework ships. From what I hear it's possible to theme KDE like, infinitely, including iirc a windows 95 theme? Ideally I'll be able to keep that theme and a more "regular" theme and swap at will, only time shall tell. I don't think I could do it 24/7 though.
meanwhile me with my install of Void Linux using the Chicago95 theme...
I wish I was as stronk as yall. Please be gentle, for I am soft and full of MS-PTSD.
Maybe not Psychopath but definitely cursed
