This is one of the first things I always tweak in KDE, so I love this change, but I’m curious how others feel.

    Honestly I just love that Plasma closely resembles the Windows 10/11 UI. Not that I like Windows, but because I have to deal with Windows from time to time.

    Switching between Gnome UI and Windows 10/11 UI requires an effort to me. Switching betweek Plasma and Windows - almost no difference.

    Plasma is fucking great!

        It’s funny, because the original KDE was definitely inspired by Windows, but Plasma has introduced enough new features before Windows now that it isn’t inaccurate to say that Windows was inspired by Plasma.

      To be fair, windows development also included UI changes beneficial for users, so its not necessarily bad to copy those.
      Of course there are many which are… questionable, we of course shouldnt copy those :D
