Assuming no prior knowledge KDE-plasma powered PC is easier to use for the average user (mostly browser-only) compared to windows these days Windows just really became a mess UI-wise, not only in its settings menu but it is bleeding to their user-facing stuff. The task bar is a mess, the notifications overlay is a mess, the startup menu is a mess, the copilot integration is a clusterf* if the user doesn't know what copilot is, the sharepoint integration is a mess, the popups to create and sign in with windows are a mess, all the useless microsoft built-in apps get in the way. Not to mention all the crapware OEMs add to the mix. Many of these problems also plague MacOS (and Ubuntu!) Windows is going to die because most people don't need all this crap, they need to double click an application (usually the browser) and just run it. Maybe they need to task switch being applications and do some file management sometimes. The enterprise and home operating system business as a whole is going to die, likely taking mobile OSes with them if anti-competitive legislation catches up. There is no money to be made. Big companies are sponsoring open-source Linux improvements that trickle down to consumer space for free. Who knows, it is quite possible proper desktop applications like games will just start being shipped as bundled microkernels and loaded in a virtualised environment in whatever platform, or web assembly really takes off and we start seeing wasm-first apps being distributed outside the browser. It seems we are heading towards this direction of platform agnostic applications.
