Win10 is the last windows. Defang it and put it in a VM. Still a better UI than the competition although KDE plasma is getting close, dolphin is very nice

KDE these days is better at being Windows than Windows. Dunno how long it's been since you've used it (or how much/little you tinkered with it)

I tried it last week. It looks and feel great. But it's missing a lot of software that I want and many things are in the wrong place. Maybe when they add seamless network transparency to Wayland and I can just stream the applications that I want.

That's just because you've been raised on it.

Yes, I will not retrain my muscle memory plus the incessant fucking around in console to do basic things like search files. I want everything, irfanview, alt-snap, , explorer patcher features, consistent dark themes, ditto clipboard manager, fancyZone, xmousebuttoncontrol. Exactly identical, I'm staying on defanged win10 until then
