You can make KDE look entirely unlike Windows, its just up to preference.
๐ค I'm actually surprised it's THIS customizable. We're talking functionally right? Not just style. Idk I guess I'm not a huge fan of the "start menu/task bar" and having a desktop, maybe I'm the weird one though. I ran vanilla gnome and then sway so desktops and taskbars and all of that aren't really my thing.
Definitely. You don't need to have a task bar or start menu in KDE, it's just the default. I usually have on panel on the left or right with my workspaces and system tray. I use the overview to manage windows instead of a taskbar, like gnome. I put krunner, the built in app runner on super
Huh, tbh I've never given KDE a real try. I used it way back in the day on OpenSUSE because I wanted a windows experience but that was when I was still playing around with Linux. I've never used it full time. My first full time DE was cinnamon and eventually I decided I wanted something radically different and so went to gnome 3 and never really considered KDE as radically different from anything I had used before.
