The moment Linux users go from "install Linux to get off Microsoft products" to "WAHHHHH WHY DONT YOU LIKE MY LAYOUT BETTER :((((((" you lose all credibility.
Maybe. And hear me out here. Maybe your desktop layout and theme is a fucking OPINION and no one else has to agree that it's the "best" layout??? Fucking crazy, I know.
If it makes them more comfortable, all the power to them. But there are far better window managers and desktops environments out there both in terms of look and functionality.
It's still a huge upgrade from actually using Windows 11, and maybe once they dip their toes in they'll ditch this eyesore of a layout next.
Some people are way too complacent with things being handed to them, rather than seeking out better alternatives that match what they really want. Though I suppose some people actuallyike that design.
What works for you won’t work for someone else. The Windows design works just fine for some and that’s okay. Not everyone is trying to be a super power user
