Is Linux supposed to be the 1 for 1 swap over?

There's some distributions that are windows-like, if you want that you can try Linux Mint. But some DEs like Gnome approach desktop use very differently and do away with plenty of windows designs.

Even more using Q4OS, it's maybe one of the most Windows like, it has even an Windows installer, making it even easier to change.

Literally never heard of it before. Please don't recommend tiny distributions to new users, they're a pain to debug due to the lack of information, and they typically have much less support.

No KDE or Gnome theme will bring drivers for software and hardware that is only working on Windows, unfortunately.

drivers for software

That's not a thing.

theme brings drivers

Gnome and kde don't bring drivers, they bring a compositor. The drivers come from LINUX and other packages like MESA which are distro agnostic.

only working on Windows

OS compatibility is in the hands of the engineers and developers, or more accurately in the hands of corporations that will go where there's money. If you want shit to work on linux, you need to use linux.

Gnome and kde don’t bring drivers

No way, are you sure??

Yes. Linux on desktop is by design modulable, you grab parts from plenty of different packages and put them together to make a distribution. Gnome and KDE are just packages, large ones with plenty of dependencies to be sure, but just packages. Here's the gnome package on arch, do you see any driver?

Wow, this is mindblowing!! Can you teach me more about Linux??

I have to ask. Are you sincere?

No, I'm not sincere with a person who completely ignored my point that Windows-alike DE doesn't make Linux a viable alternative due to lack of software and hardware support. Stop lecturing people when nobody asked for a lecture.

Such a weird take on that back and forth. I suppose you're not used to saying Incorrect things, and having someone point that out.

Reacting to that with sarcasm, to that extent? I hope you're a teenager still figuring yourself out.
