Windows 11 looks like a crappy knockoff of KDE with all the good bits removed and replaced with spyware and adware.
It looks much better actually, with the fancy blur and transparency effects. Not to say it works better than Linux, and I'm sure it must be possible to customise KDE to look better.
Yeah, if there is one thing that windows 11 does well is looks. I think its fancy.
Yeah there are plenty of kwin effect you can install that would make it as pretty as windows 11 if that's important to you. Just like there are plenty of themes you can install if you want a macOS experience instead
