No I mean things like settings applets/notification tray/widget functionality being better integrated into the overall desktop environment.
And customizing just results in less “jank” than Gnome. IDK how else to describe it, but it just feels like a DE that was actually designed with functionality over looks. Not to say I think it looks bad, but there’s definitely less emphasis on “looking nice” over having the most robust experience, which I appreciate.
I do also like the broad strokes similarities to Windows just because things are where I expect a little more, but not really what I meant by mature, if that makes any sense.
Yeah, that totally makes sense. Glad you didn’t take my comment personally. I’ve not used KDE in some time so I’m mainly basing my experience on screenshots I see. I’ll have to give KDE another chance.
I’ve been trying to get an arm64 Linux running on my MacBook Pro inside various VMs but they (different distros) seem to crash after the login screen. I run Linux on servers, containers all over the place but I’m not really down to shell out cash just for Linux FunTimes™.
By “mature” do you mean “looks like Windows?” Appearance-wise the thing that always kept me away from KDE is its uncanny resemblance to Windows.

It looks like Windows by default.
Who cares whe you can make KDE look almost any DE you want? :p
There’s no reason to stay with the out of the box look. Nearly everything is customizable and/or replaceable with an alternative.
