There’s some distributions that are windows-like, if you want that you can try Linux Mint. But some DEs like Gnome approach desktop use very differently and does away entirely with plenty of windows designs.
Gnome and kde don’t bring drivers, they bring a compositor. The drivers come from LINUX and other packages like MESA which are distro agnostic.
only working on Windows
OS compatibility is in the hands of the engineers and developers, or more accurately in the hands of corporations that will go where there’s money. If you want shit to work on linux, you need to use linux.
Yes. Linux on desktop is by design modulable, you grab parts from plenty of different packages and put them together to make a distribution. Gnome and KDE are just packages, large ones with plenty of dependencies to be sure, but just packages. Here’s gnome package on arch, do you see any driver?
No, I’m not sincere with a person who completely ignored my point that Windows-alike DE doesn’t make Linux a viable alternative due to lack of software and hardware support. Stop lecturing people when nobody asked for a lecture.
Literally never heard of it before. Please don’t recommend tiny distributions to new users, they’re a pain to debug due to the lack of information, and they typically have much less support.
Q4OS is a known nd reliable distro (Made in Germany Debian base, KDE<>Trinity) with active developement since 2014, I know several users which use and like it a lot, also very positive reviews in the web.
Is Linux supposed to be the 1 for 1 swap over?

No KDE or Gnome theme will bring drivers for software and hardware that is only working on Windows, unfortunately.
That’s not a thing.

No way, are you sure??
Yes. Linux on desktop is by design modulable, you grab parts from plenty of different packages and put them together to make a distribution. Gnome and KDE are just packages, large ones with plenty of dependencies to be sure, but just packages. Here’s gnome package on arch, do you see any driver?
Wow, this is mindblowing!! Can you teach me more about Linux??
I have to ask. Are you sincere?
No, I’m not sincere with a person who completely ignored my point that Windows-alike DE doesn’t make Linux a viable alternative due to lack of software and hardware support. Stop lecturing people when nobody asked for a lecture.
Even more using Q4OS, it’s maybe one of the most Windows like, it has even an Windows installer, making it even easier to change.
