    Agreed. I’ve recently switch from Win10 to Gnome 3 briefly (LOL) then to KDE.

    Some stronger selling points would be:

    • The KDE experience is exactly like Windows. Maybe more so.
    • It works out of the box with my hardware better than Windows did.
    • It offers more UI customisation, in a pretty straightforward, unintrusive and (mostly) intuitive way.
    • It’s more consistent and coherent than Windows, especially when it comes to ‘control panel’ stuff.
    • Way less crapware, such as graphics drivers that come with massively bloated management apps, or a thousand different software updaters running at once.

      Hah. I don’t know if you want to point at the display drivers as an advantage yet. Would be nice, though.

      And hey, what’s wrong with Gnome? I use Gnome right now. The endless arguments about how Linux is so customizable but whatever customization choice you made is clearly wrong are definitely part of the issue.
