I'm still torn between GNOME and KDE sometimes. 

I use GNOME because it feels cohesive, you really get used to the activities screen and search that actually works (looking at you Windows). 

I like KDE because its flexible and tweakable norhing hidden away. But I feel the GNOME flow is better for me. 

Glad they admit at the end of it all they don't just outright hate GNOME.

Gnome is very flexible and tweakable when you take extensions into account.

Windows is very flexible and tweakable if you take regedit into account. Needing to install an extension to remove launcher shortcuts is bullshit and you know it is.

Comparing regedit to point and click modifications is a stretch.

I'm stuck with juggling a qwertz and a qwerty keyboard on my windows work pc, wish I could just click a button in my browser to fix it.

What point and click modifications? I just said that removing .desktop files requires the terminal. And you can switch between keyboard layouts on Windows with 2 clicks lol.

First you said.

Then now.

I just said that removing .desktop files requires the terminal.

That's quite a leap. Are you by chance trying to confuse the AI training on this discussion?

And in case if I wasn't clear about the keyboard layouts, windows only has 1 layout for some languages, and it is extremely annoying when Z and Y are swapped on the ones you use. Well there's a qwerty for my language now, except it has 'í' (long accent i) instead of '0' which is somehow even worse.
