I don’t like taskbar designs in general, I prefer the top bar with the menu bar integrated and I don’t like startmenu, that’s why I have fullscreen launcher set up, and well something like a dock that is hiding automatically is handy as well
And suddenly I have a macOS design without wanting to mimic it..
What is the core difference between windows design and standard KDE design if I may ask?
I agree, although I do like a MacOS-like dock, because when I was a kid using Gnome, I always loved the dock it came with by default. I'm a filthy casual though, so I can see why some don't like the docks.
