Yeah, just as I wrote in another comment, you have the conservative default Mac UI, and you have a plethora of open-source third-party tweaks for it, same as with some Linux GUIs. Mac’s UI is solid and has excellent usability because it doesn’t expose hundreds of options to tweak every possible behavior. I derived no pleasure from wading through Windows’ control panel for hours in search of one or another option that I needed, and to my knowledge KDE’s approach is the same but on meth.
Settings are good when one doesn’t have to spend ten minutes getting RSI to find what they want. The control panel is now my litmus test for the quality of the UI. The first time I tried MacOS in a VM, I saw clear as day that it was made for humans instead of whatever random design philosophy MS uses. Same with Gnome 2, which was lifting a lot of ideas from MacOS.
Alas, Cinnamon has plenty of jank elsewhere, so I might have to try KDE again.

Nice, pulling bullshit out of your ass now because you must hate Apple at all times even for invented reasons, otherwise life isn’t worth living.

Get yourself a Magic Mouse and don’t look back.
