Desktop Setup This is not Windows Vista, but rather Arch Linux using KDE Plasma 6.6.1 with Frutiger Aero design

I've turned Arch Linux based on KDE Plasma 6.6.1 into Windows Vista, notoriously hated the operating system, but what I like is the interface design, has glossy design and I love Vista more than 7 (my opinion, you can judge me), I don't understand why Vista got such bad reputation. But again, I admire Vista a lot because of good design.

If you want to try that although I'm using Arch Linux, you can try: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S6l1peUm_c0

Edit: Pardon, I didn't see I was running KDE Plasma 6.6.5, it's just a small mistake

Speaking as a debian user, installing Arch is pretty easy these days. There's even a graphical installer.

It's not hard to do? I reinstalled it on one of my machines today, it took like 15 minutes from booting the installer to being at the desktop

I guess then Window Vista/7 are the best theme for KDE if I'm not wrong
