No Christmas presents for op this year.

Its merely off topic, Windows isn't Unix. OSX is, though only loosely.
OSX is, though only loosely.
MacOS is definitely Unix. Same syscalls, same command line, same permissions and virtual filesystem concepts. Pipes, text files, all that jazz. It uses zsh for scripting, PAM for authentication, CUPS for printing, OpenSSH for remote access, Unix sockets and virtual interfaces for networking.
Hell, a good chunk of macOS is straight up FreeBSD.
Perfect examples of why OSX is an Unix-like just like GNU/Linux. It's got a shared history with the original Unix, but isn't literally Unix. This community is around Unix-likes, and under the Unix-like banner, I'd gladly welcome ReactOS. WSL isn't in the spirit of it though.
OSX has been on a number of occasions actively hostile towards FLOSS as well (particularly anything GPL), which in the last decades, have become synonymous with Unix-likes, though that's a matter of personal taste. What isn't a matter of taste however, is that OSX uses the XNU kernel, which is an acronym for X is Not Unix. It is not a monolithic Unix style kernel either. I would argue that OSX is only loosely Unix-like, and only mimics Unix functions for compatibility. Should Apple have the inclination, they would happily abandon it for something invented by them given the opportunity.
Not picking a fight with you over semantics, I just loathe Apple as a business and Microsoft gets a lot of flack for their old "Embrace Extend Extinguish" policies when Apple has been exceptionally hostile towards OSS. Apple so often gets a pass when being considered a part of Unix communities yet they absolutely do not embrace the spirit of Unix-likes and FLOSS at all.

i dont think that you will be banned, although i think you could tune up your desktop a bit more
Like by installing Arch?
maybe, but if you want to stick with windows, there are some tools that allow to create cool widgets, modify the taskbar, etc. Some examples are: winaero tweaker and rainmeter (those tools can affect windows stability and performance, and in the case of the most extreme ones, it can directly destroy your installation)
Perfect, that last sentence is what I'm looking for! Lol in all seriousness, thanks I'll look into those.

This is unixporn not dosporn !
Tresporn wen
Didn't know you could run KDE on wind*ws :o
I remember a while ago Tails developers were asking for help making the user interface mimic windows, to help people hide better the use of Tails in public spaces like libraries or cafes.
Kali Linux introduced a script to reskin the DE to look as closely as possible like Windows a few years ago.

This tied my stomach in a knot, ive never felt that before, im gonna go throw up.
I will be surprised if someone can make a tiling WM in Windows
DWM has a windows port.
Looks like the built-in window organizing thing Win11 comes with. When you drag a window to the top edge a little menu pops open for tiling your open windows.
Doesn't work with every window though, but browsers and spotify can be arranged that way.

Isn't Powershell a POSIX compliant shell now? I know that isn't "gnu/linux" but it certainly allows a lot of familiarity between the environments.
I don't think it's strictly compliant, although they claim to have based it's syntax on Korn shell, which is the strictest definition of POSIX shells.
You can do pretty much everything in powershell that you can do in something like bash BUT, it will be done slightly differently, so trying to make a script cross compatible is pointless (you might as well just write it natively in powershell etc).
Powershell isn't inherently bad, unlike bash for instance which just allows piping out text output, Powershell can pass around true .net objects.
But if what you're looking for is cross OS compatability, you're pushing shit uphill.
99.9% of the time, I open powershell and just ssh into a "real" linux box.
Lol except they aliased wget and curl but dont parse the standard options 😡

where's my pitch fork sharpener?... 🤣
All jokes (and my seething hatred of MS) aside - it's off topic here, does not belong in this community.

There is actually a MS Edge version for Linux. I wonder if anyone makes a joke distro that breaks the file manager and terminal when you uninstall it.
