🤔 hating the windows UI and then going to KDE which is basically a more customizable windows UI seems...odd

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

Huh, tbh I've never given KDE a real try. I used it way back in the day on OpenSUSE because I wanted a windows experience but that was when I was still playing around with Linux. I've never used it full time. My first full time DE was cinnamon and eventually I decided I wanted something radically different and so went to gnome 3 and never really considered KDE as radically different from anything I had used before.

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.
