I don’t like Windows either to be clear, and having the settings spread out in different areas is annoying at best, though its defaults are less infuriating and I can get a mostly annoyance-free system with just built-in settings and powertoys.
KDE is great because all I have to do is go through the regular-ass settings app and tweak what I want to get an easily usable system. The fact you think having settings is a bad thing and having to install random software to do common things is insane, but to each their own I suppose.
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.
