    So basically ever since I first tried Windows 7 I held it as the “Gold standard” for desktop OS’s. Half my tweaks to Windows 10 were trying to get it as close to Win7 as I possibly could.

    When I finally start experimenting with Linux early this year KDE quickly got me to reconsider my “Gold standard” and finally switch my main machine fully to Linux.

    No regrets and certainly ain’t switching back even if Microsoft gave me updated Windows 7 with every extra feature I wanted back then.

      I’ve been on Linux for ages and ages… back when I had to order CDs for new copies of Ubuntu.

      Kde is the first desktop experience that I feel is the gold standard.

      Every iteration of Linux I’ve used, solus, fedora, Ubuntu, Manjaro the DE I use is KDE.

      I’m not sure why… but it makes sense to me and is my gold standard experience.

      I set my KDE up to look as much like Windows 7 as possible.

      I think that was peak desktop design before designers started changing shit just to stay relevant.
