Yes, but it has some "quirks" that for somebody are a waste of time. Sometimes better and usable is enough.

For example I profoundly hate the start menu's suggested apps default window. I just want it to list all apps when I click it. And on win 11 this is not customizable.

Everyone has his use case.

That's fair, also I'm not saying KDE doesn't have a use case, for example people who are tired of windows for one reason or another but like the windows UI. Cinnamon has a similar use case which is one of many reasons I think mint is a great starter distro. I just found it odd that somebody who didn't like the windows UI went to that desktop over the other less Windows like desktops. Comment got ratioed so hard people seem to think I'm hating on the guy or his rice but I just find it odd to not like the windows UI and then go to one of the most Windows like desktops.

isnt that the point of using a 3rd party option. while windows isnt as customizable as Linux, i fond it odd that people are trying to customize the native windows button instead of using a 3rd party one and customizing that, in which you would have much more control of the function.

The registry for that can be disabled. Not that it makes Windows much better

Yes but the updates tend to reset it.
