I think if anyone cares about desktop looks should go to Windows, where you can customize your desktop in many ways (not necessarily officially).

There isn't really "it just works" in Linux. Linux is of course more flexible.
If you’re trying to customize windows, there’s really nothing that “just works” there either. I’ve found default Ubuntu installs to “just work” better than default windows 11 as well.
