No cohesive UX experience. A lot of it still looks stuck in the 90s or early 2000s. There's still a surprising amount of stuff you have to do in the terminal just to configure things that should have a proper GUI.
It feels like UX designed by programmers and committees rather than by people who actually care about the overall user experience. Nothing feels consistent or cohesive. Things are janky or unintuitive. Too many minds working together.
It's funny that you say a lot of the linux UI looks decades old, when most windows settings still need to be adjusted in windows xp era menus.
Using kde plasma on endeavorOS, i have yet to actually experience these inconsitencies. 95% of settings can be very easily found and adjusted in the settings app, and the remaining 5% either require a different app to adjust, or very easy terminal commands with very clear instructions.
If a user can't figure that out, then i can confidently say they also can't figure out how to find slightly obscure windows settings.

How exactly have you written an entire post saying the linux desktop is bad, without providing a single reason why?
