    Sure thing! If you’re using KDE. What about Mint? Gnome, cinnamon, etc. these are all things you have to explain to anyone new to the ecosystem.

      The same goes for Windows. Someone who grew up on Macs will have to learn the particularities of Windows or Linux just the same if they wanted to switch to either. Every user has got to put their own effort into learning the ropes. It is no different with anything else in life. You can’t just expect everything to be handed to you on a silver platter. I grew up on MS-DOS and Commodore BASIC. Then came Windows 3.x and GEOS, Workbench on the Amiga, and eventually Windows 95. I had to learn each and every one of their particularities as I moved between them. Windows XP? Windows 7? Windows 10? Each one came with changes people complained about. Mac has had its upsets as well. Linux changed from its UNIX beginnings to have the variation we have today. Find something which looks like you want to learn the ropes and stick with it. Or don’t and go touch some grass, I guess.
