Windows 10 wasn’t even on my list as it is not a modern OS any more (it has been replaced by Windows 11), but even so it had a better UI, without those weird UI features that just serve to look bad
floating taskbar at the bottom, not actually at the bottom, above it
those blue highlights around widgets that do not look good
that horrible off white colour for widgets
general bad design
And of course windows 11 and GNOME improve with even more UI features
blur
transparency that actually looks good
rounded corners that look good
Basically, it’s not one specific thing that makes KDE look bad, but rather their general approach to design, which seems to be ‘we don’t care what we’re doing, we’ll just set the default to something random as we expect users to customise it anyway’ which is fine for advanced users, but not so friendly to new users
Well yeah I know how the defaults look like, really didn’t need that reminder?
So what’s wrong with plasma6? (Compare it with win10)
