I tweak my linux to mimic Temple OS.

But kde is so nice

Only acceptable if Windows 98 or earlier.

I had to convince my cousin I bought him a Mac, but I didn't want to support a Mac, so I tweaked KDE to look like OSX. He thought it was great how cheap he got a laptop, and was surprised Dell made Macs now. Had him fooled for about 2 years until he asked some kid to help him do something.

I just shrugged and asked him if he'd have known if he hadn't been told. Yah, cuz knows cows, not computers.

Come on, everyone knows you're supposed to tweak your Linux to look like MacOS on mushrooms.

I installed Gnome and now everything looks like macOS. Help!!!

I have MATE setup to look like OSX. Beach ball go BRRR.

On the contrary, if you do that, some users wouldn't even notice they switched to linux!

Or you can do a little trolling

When I ran Cinnamon Mint I definitely did this. Looked like Windows 7.

Funny, I tweaked my Linux PC at work to look like Windows XP. It's so cursed, I love it.

I fucking love KDEs Windows 95 theming for some of the interface, while still looking sleek and fast as hell. That and the Plastik theme for the minimize, fullscreen, and exit buttons. :)

I do this, legitimately -- but with a very specific application: Firefox. On Windows, I can get firefox top border to a VERY small amount. But for some reason, in the past -- every Linux distro I found, when Firefox is maximized, I still get an additional window decoration on the top, above the browser tabs. My Firefox bar on Windows only takes up 64 pixels of height.

To make my dad switch I made his Mint look like windows, he's happy

Believes anyone asking for tech support is consciously aware of Windows versions

Lol. Lmao even

Honestly, you do you.

i used to tweak windows to look like Linux.

you mean move the task bar to the side or top?

yep. and a wallpaper too.

Eh, if you like the style, theme it to your heart's content

Well... I did, it was fun to see the IT support team of my work shaking every time they access my machine to some maintenance:

meanwhile me with my install of Void Linux using the Chicago95 theme...

I've been using Fedora (Gnome) on my laptop, but I'm going to try the KDE spin when my Framework ships. From what I hear it's possible to theme KDE like, infinitely, including iirc a windows 95 theme? Ideally I'll be able to keep that theme and a more "regular" theme and swap at will, only time shall tell. I don't think I could do it 24/7 though.

I'm here wishing I could tweak Windows to work like Gnome

I wish I was as stronk as yall. Please be gentle, for I am soft and full of MS-PTSD.

I mean, if I had the time, skill, and drive, I'd probably go to Hell and back customizing my laptop to look like it's running xp since I think that look still holds up to this day.

Maybe not Psychopath but definitely cursed
