Okay I have to say it: I've never understood the drive to theme your linux DE like fuckin' Windows. I know there's nostalgia for the gray 9x window decorations, but the infinite fondness for Luna or Aero baffles me. LARPing as an infinitely shittier OS...

    Absolute Nostalgia Bait. Or maybe it's a kink thing knowing that you're safe within the confines of KDE doggirl-smug . It's Windows' fault for adopting a new design language every single release to sell people the same computer with more ads.

    Nostalgia is really powerful sometimes. I also don't get why people go to such lengths to make it look like Windows, at least modern Windows that is, I get the appeal of older Windows to a certain degree. You can do so much in terms of customization on Linux that it feels wrong to want to settle for so little with just copying Windows.

    I'll give GNOME 1.x users a pass on aping windows themes because well... look at it.
