I feel like someone at Microsoft is watching KDE Plasma a little bit too closely...
Plasma's slogan since 2017: "Simple by default, powerful when needed"
Microsoft advertising Windows 11: "Simple by default, powerful by choice"
Really? 🤔

i'm pretty much sure by now that devs at Apple and MS are slowly porting features they like from Linux desktops they secretly enjoy at home to their dayjobs. Merge that stuff with stuff you steal from the rival company, behold next release of Mac OS X or Windows.

I consider MS copying KDE a win compared to the other way around.

it's just another riff on "easy to learn hard to master" or any of those things you'd print on a motivational poster.

people often says KDE provides a Windows-like experience.
Turns out it's Windows that provides KDE-like experience.

if Microsoft takes the good from Linux, and improves on accessibility, then, it isnât that the point of open source? To freely take and adapt, even if it means to make a profit? Open source software is not limited to how people take and use what is already there? It should not be for profit, but this is the nature of open source. Anybody can take anything, at any time, and use it for any purpose

I've always thought that KDE Plasma looks like the MS Windows user interface would if MS actually respected users.

Once I looked at the Windows 11 specs, a lot more made sense.
It's not a release targeting humans at all.
It's a flex move on the OEMs that have been sitting on hardware updates.
DirectX 12 as a baseline system requirement, etc.
Most people won't see the OS until they buy new hardware, which will be faster and with better graphics thanks to the new system requirements.
The advertising language is meaningless. It just needs to be easily visually distinguishable as Not 10.

also when they announced it with the new tiling window features: "nobody else has this". HAhaha. Except for the 50 different tiling window managers on linux since forever?

That Win11 version has some strong "we want this but with plausible deniability" energy.
In that it says the same thing, but in a clunky harder to read way.

- Also isn't it funny that KDE initially started to cater for Win users (look and feel wise) and now MS is copying from KDE.
