    KDE: Welcome to Linux. Do you like the UI of Windows? Well we have an excellent offering for you if that’s your choice. There’s also other DEs that you may select from if that’s your choice.

    Windows: Here’s an ad bitch, fuck your choice.

      I wish Microsoft kept Windows as a paid product, instead of making it effectively free (with things like free upgrades from older versions) and sticking ads all over the place.

      Windows serves ads? Where?

      Edit: Why are people mad that I don’t see adverts on Windows?

    This is hilarious. It really cut me deep. I don’t think I’ve seen Harold used in the Drake format like this either. The look of dejected shame is priceless.

      Windows is not “fine” aside from all the non-UI stuff, they’re UI is annoying and slow to me, they moved things behind extra clicks/commands to make it “clean”- stuff I actually use.

      And then there’s the whole tracking usage to drop adds in your notification thing… which is a privacy nightmare.

    In fairness KDE has been copying Windows for years. That’s why it has a taskbar, start menu, tray etc.
