KDE is available for Ubuntu. There’s even an edition that ships with KDE (Kubuntu).

I can, I just prefer windows

The only Unix system I ever willingly install is android, even though it’s harder to install than Linux

Android is Linux, simply not the traditional userspace :)

Linux Distros have a huge variety. What have you tried?

I use windows on my PC, mint on my laptop and lineageOS on my phone. Installing linux on a gaming PC feels pointless to me

I made the full switch probably 1.5y ago. Gaming on Linux is great now. The only major issue is modding. Nexus doesn’t have an app for Linux yet (it’s in development) so you have to install mods manually. That’s not too big of an issue, but it is annoying. Other than that it’s nearly flawless, excluding a few games that have anti-cheats that haven’t added Linux support, like Valorant.

Why would i need to? I tried Linux and it’s mental. Took 20 minutes to edit mount settings on my hdd. fstab, gnome disks, and whatnot. Meanwhile Windows is: here’s your files bro, whenever you want. And don’t even get me started with the countless problems i encountered to install apps, edit hdd permissions, configuring panels and more.

I need to try windows again. I remember it being more complex than Linux. I switched just so things were easier. Cygwin! Registry editing! Getting a Microsoft degree just to edit my desktop menus. I didn’t just sit there and install my programs like a good kid and actually wanted to, you know, do things with my computer. And boy did windows hate me for it.

I’m hoping modern IDEs or just having Linux on standby would make Windows simple enough to use.

Yes on Windows I think disks are not mounted, they are just there on the letters

But that works fine on Linux too. I have not used multi-drive systems much, but I use an encrypted SD card that is liked to a folder in my home so that programs dont even need to write to anything custom. Was like a few clicks and even worked on GNOME, on KDE that is easier too.

Panels, yes. KDE had a separate panel config per monitor which is worse than on Windows. But apart from that, they work out of the box and are really customizable.

GNOME… doesnt allow configurations like at all. You need 3rd party apps for everything, then you can do whatever you want, which also works well.

So maybe that just has changed.
