    No, it’s more difficult. You need to install extensions, have community awareness, and manually configure a bunch of shit, and hope that it works; which it commonly doesn’t.

    If the configuration was easy or consistent Linux DEs would be a clear choice for most.

      You need to install extensions,

      yeah sure, but only if you want to customise the shell in the first place

      have community awareness,

      regarding what?

      and manually configure a bunch of shit,

      Thats what one does when they want to customise their desktop anyway, right?

      and hope that it works; which it commonly doesn’t.

      can’t say that my extensions don’t.

      If the configuration was easy or consistent Linux DEs would be a clear choice for most.

      GNOME and KDE are pursuing two different kind of UI philosophies, so of course the configuration isn’t consistent on a UI level. And for exactly THAT reason we have the terminal.
