OP on r*ddit here

the best part is that if you want it too look this sweet it’s all through gui menus and simple interfaces. You download themes through theme browsers in settings. It literally couldn’t be easier imo.

I absolutely HATE the quickbar navigation system so much

What Linux version has a start menu that you can pin shit to?

The last Linux I used was Ubuntu 10.04, so it’s been a minute.

KDE by default has such a start menu.

XFCE can be configured to use the “whisker menu” which is basically the start menu. It’s what I used before switching to i3 and Rofi

honestly most desktops on linux feature pinning to a start menu (except gnome because I don’t think gnome has a start menu, it has a launchpad) I’d suggest giving linux another shot, kde if you want familiar windows/macOS style with customization or gnome if you’re willing to try something new and simple.

My issue with Linux (Aside from it being Mac for nerds) has always been the file system, unfortunately. I’ve got 20+ years of drive categorised cruft and I’m not changing all that over to a Root system.

You can just have all these files on one partition and leave them as they are.

Try Zorin, it has Windows style menus and layout. It’s a reskin of stable Ubuntu so you get all your favorite Ubuntu stuff
