KDE as it stands today has the perfect balance between the defaults and what can be configured. It's a breath of fresh air coming from windows and after trying Gnome which took the exact opposite route. Gnome would have been great if its not so strongly opinionated and didn't need so many extensions to get the basic functionality working. That said either of those beats the pants off current or previous windows versions. Existing companies (dell and lenova) should start making Linux only laptops through partnerships with either KDE/distro maintainers. I would bet that most of the users can't even tell the difference especially if they are mostly on web browser based workflows.
