I say this as a Linux user, Windows is still considerably easier to use and it certainly looks a lot slicker.
As someone who is still required to use Windows on my work laptop, hard disagree.
Im genuinely curious as to what themes and DE you’re using that looks better. In Windows everything is slick and polished, stuff slides and bounces around, the colours are consistent and work together, it’s all pretty elegant. I’m using KDE right now and all that I get is the start menu thing changes shade when I hover the mouse over it. I also use Gnome and XFCE, Gnome is pretty good and XFCE is obviously really basic.
I use KDE. Have you messed with "edit mode" on the desktop yet (just right click on the desktop and hit "edit mode"). There's also tons of themes and other visual customizations on their site (that you can either access manually on a browser, or access through KDE itself when in the theme settings). You can make it look pretty much however you want.
I despise the way Windows looks and feels.
