When I switched to Linux in 2008 (Ubuntu), I felt a big relief from not using Windows anymore, andnever turned back.
Kudos to the guy with the Dell(?) laptop in the video. :)
At any rate, I'm busy right now, but I'm hooked and, and totally going to watch this. Thanks for posting it.
(I actually somewhat like the look of Motif, CDE's toolkit. It is maybe the association with reliable, expensive, professional (etc) Unix application software. While proprietary, still much cooler than Windows.)
Want a whole new desktop?

Want a whole new OS with it built in?
Want to keep the KDE 6.x foundations but replace the desktop shell?
Other distros bundle TDE, not just Q4OS, but it is not a bad one and a quick way to try it.
Klassik is very new and as yet quite untested.
Me, I would like the original KDE fork used in Corel LinuxOS and later in Xandros Linux to be revived and modernised. For me that was the best KDE ever worked.
(The Bluecurve theme in Red Hat Linux -- before RH _Enterprise_ Linux -- was the best mainline KDE ever looked.)
You probably want Trinity DE then. It's literally KDE 3, forked and maintained.
They cover a wide range of topics, from C++ and Java to Node.js, Kubernetes, React, and Vue.js. I particularly enjoyed the Java documentary, which offered fascinating insights into the differences between the Sun and Oracle eras, many of which I never would have expected.
A few times I had to do something on a Gnome system and now it just feels like you're being kneecapped by the devs for no good reason.
Don't worry, they will talk about not liking Gnome even when the topic is something completely different.
