Then I don’t know what are you smoking. From the taskbar, window decorations to system settings - it’s very similar to how Windows 10 is designed, although with much less padding (by default, but it’s a good thing).
There are also some settings for the taskbar to behave more like a Windows 11 one, if that’s what you want.
Also as for icons they look much more modern than what’s on Windows, at least for me.
I know about the themes but most of them look dated as well. I know I’m complaining about free software but it should look better out of the box. I know some people love customising but it shouldn’t be a requirement.
It looks very similar to Windows 10. You think Windows 10 looks like something from 00’s?
How does it look like Windows 10? It looks like Windows 2000.

The reverse actually, Windows 10+ looks like Plasma. They were “inspired” by it (copied it).
OP, if you don’t like the looks, Plasma has extensive theming support.
