This is one of the reasons i hate kde and love gnome
I can’t do GNOME. I’ve tried multiple times over the last25 years. I am well past the point where I do heavy wild customizations to KDE etc. Some colored window decorations to make it easier to find the buttons. Change icons and pointers. Monolith MHL in the background. And a little jiggle physics. Some of that GNOME can do, but it will often fight you over it. For myself plasma just has less friction, literally and figuratively. Though to be honest I’m not familiar with the friction coefficient of a gnome.
I’ve heard some say the restrictiveness of GNOME makes them more productive. Poor bastards.
I made WinTile for gnome. Gave me back quarter tiling.
I tried doing this at first, but i just kept being frustrated every time something wasn’t like on windows…
Then i gave tiling managers (i3 specifically) a try…
Here I am now daily-driving Hyprland and writing custom ui with quickshell…
I do this, but largely around customizable tiling, keyboard shortcuts, low to no animations, and RDP.
As far as actual -theme- that seems insane.
iTweak my Linux to look like a Mac.

So it like you used this service for long, then the one who responsible for the service sucks suddenly, the alternative of that service is somewhat close but not carbon copy of your service, apparently you can involve yourself in adjusting the alternative to your liking , it is optional but alass it is inevitable.
Welcome to the world of customization, customer.
Anyone with handwriting that meticulous is the real psycho
When all I had was a netbook with 1gb of ram and really weak intel atom cpu, I’ve done the same, not for estetic reasons (there was a qtcurve theme that looked like gray windows theme of win 2000 - but worse, but it was extremely configurable and with it netbook turned into something marginally usable with kde 4.x).
Yes… but it’s really… WINDOWS 98.
They paid millions in user trails and data to get there and then did windows 8
Well I use,
- META+E: Files
- CTRL+SHIFT+ESC: System Monitor
- META+I: Settings
- ALT+TAB: Switch Windows
Yeah I don’t use Linux for the sake of it being different. Keyboard shortcuts are not what I dislike about Windows so why change muscle memory?
Hey I argue that styling after Windows 7 isn’t bad.
I use Nightglow Blue that looks kinda like a dark mode Windows 7:
That’s no problem actually, given that Windows frequently copied KDE you’d just go full circle
I do bind Ctrl-E for a new file browser and Ctrl-D to show desktop which I picked up from Windows.
But at least it’s windows XP, right?
