I went 100% Linux last fall with Kubuntu.

For those reading along, this person is talking about the KDE Plasma desktop environment. The Kubuntu Linux distribution uses it by default, but you can also install and switch to it on just about any popular Linux distro, even if it's not the default.

I use Plasma, too. It's good, reasonably familiar, and respects the fact that people might want to tweak things to fit their needs.

I use Arch with KDE Plasma and it looks like a clean version of the traditional desktop you'd expect on Windows, with a bottom taskbar, start menu, etc. But with a really clean theme and tailored to my needs.

My wife is also using Arch with the exact same KDE Plasma version... But hers looks exactly like a Mac, with a rounded translucent dock, a menu bar at the top, widgets, animated wallpapers and so on.

So yeah KDE Plasma is amazing, it will adapt to your exact preferences and not get in the way.
