It's naive to expect that modern (2020) desktop environments are just sort of a helper to get consistent themes and fonts and a set of utilities such as calculators, terminals and a 2048 game. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semantic_desktop#Standardization_effort https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NEPOMUK_(software) I'm using a plain window manager (openbox) and no desktop environment at all. I never experienced any modern (2020) desktop environment that is not a PITA on any operating system.

To unlock your Foo washing machine, you need a Foo dishwasher and vice versa. To unlock your Bar telephone you need a Bar computer and vice versa. To unlock optimized KDE performance and all KDE features on a FreeBSD computer, you need a Linux computer also running KDE and vice versa.
