I use a Linux distro with kde, so I have a lot of customization available. I like trying other distros in VMs, but stuff like windows (no need to copy really kde is similar by default) and Mac is a pain in the ass to use that way. so, I want to know what your os does that you think I should copy using kde’s customization. I’m looking for Mac in particular (bc I haven’t used it before) but any OS or desktop environment is fair game.

    A simplified system settings?

    I’m an older (in my 50s) macOS and Mint/Cinnamon user but I also know after testing it I would love to use KDE (it’s a great DE) if it was not for its billion of settings one needs to navigate through in order to turn off the many visual effects and whatever I don’t need that are activated by default, and the few things I need to activate that aren’t ;)

      Not sure when you last tried KDE, but recently with the update to KDE 6 the settings got reorganised. It’s still not great, but a lot better than it was.

      Also, iirc, a lot of the visual effects settings are in one panel, though I can’t remember what it’s called right now.

      the settings could definitely use some reorganization. the fact that it’s searchable helps but you can definitely tell a lot of that layout predates the current function of some of the settings.
