OP on r*ddit here

the best part is that if you want it too look this sweet it's all through gui menus and simple interfaces. You download themes through theme browsers in settings. It literally couldn't be easier imo.

    honestly most desktops on linux feature pinning to a start menu (except gnome because I don't think gnome has a start menu, it has a launchpad) I'd suggest giving linux another shot, kde if you want familiar windows/macOS style with customization or gnome if you're willing to try something new and simple.

      My issue with Linux (Aside from it being Mac for nerds) has always been the file system, unfortunately. I've got 20+ years of drive categorised cruft and I'm not changing all that over to a Root system.

        You can just have all these files on one partition and leave them as they are.

          Piling a delicate categorisation system that uses the partition name to define the subject into a single undifferentiated heap is kind of what I'm trying to avoid.

            You can have as many partitions as you want and name them too. I suggest you make a post about thi.
