I need to install an OS for someone whose first impulse upon seeing a screen is to touch it, because they are young and their first assumption is a touchscreen.
They know their way around Windows and Windows is probably tought to them at school, so Windows might actually be the smart move… but I fucking hate it.
Is ZorinOS or similar polished enough that I can leave it to someone whose tech literacy is centered around Roblox, TikTok and evading parental locks? I don’t want to normalize the Windows-bullshit. But I don’t want their first Linux-experience to be frustrating.
Semantics but gnome and kde were there first. It is android that looks like gnome and windows that looks like kde.
Hmmh. And it’s not even a linear progression. They take inspiration all the time. I remember gnome 2 being very different from what it is today. And they tend to look at MacOS.
Fair point.
KDE was started in 1996 and the first release was in 1998. Windows 95 was released in (surprise!) 1995.
That has nothing to do with windows 10 looking like kde.
Oh, you’re talking about Windows 10 specifically then? I took it you meant generally.
KDE has looked and mostly (yay workspaces!) worked like Windows since the first version. I remember I was there.
