Switching to Linux hot take:

Recovering windows users shouldn't switch to a "windows-like" DE. Give them something totally alien like GNOME or Budgie. Likewise, we should recommend ex Mac users KDE or Cinnamon.

Reason: Linux is not the same as those OSes. Its imitations of their interfaces are incomplete, so it will feel like a knockoff.

A new GUI paradigm sets Linux apart in the mind and encourages learning. Then once the user is proficient in customizing their desktop, they can bring back the features they valued in those systems.

#have you ever tried PearOS #as someone who occasionally uses a Mac. its bad #KDE skin with the barest veneer. but basically no research #for example. the macos default terminal is an 80x24 box with exactly 1 titlebar #meanwhile PearOS keeps the Konsole default which is tons of buttons and drop down menus. and the font it way too big #ugh it just. feel is all wrong #this is also true of WinFX btw #mir rants #linux #Linux take #desktop environment
