Windows doesn’t come with multiple Window Managers that you choose from like Kde vs Gnome. Windows programs have access to the same standard Windows toolkit for menus and dialogs. A program has to go out of its way to not use the standard libraries. That is usually only seen in programs that are using ported Linux gui libraries under Windows. Whereas in Linux, there are multiple GUI toolkits and multiple Window Managers meaning there is is absolutely no standard for any apps.
No, you don’t have to install a different distro. You can choose to have any software running on any distro. I never said distros are consistent, because that’s my whole point, every dev is going to work differently, that’s the fucking point. You can do anything on any fucking distro

doesn’t come with”doesn’t give you the optionGuess what, Linux also doesn’t “come with” multiple DE’s, it just gives you the ability to install and use a different one.
Having choice is always better. It’s always better to have an alternative to switch to if something goes wrong with your current software.
I personally don’t like Gnome, but I love that it exists! That way, if something bad happens to KDE, I know I’ll have a safe place for myself.
Oh come on. Your restatement means the same thing. Install a different distro and you can have a different DE.
And yes Windows doesn’t give you the choice. I said that in my initial statement that customization is often in conflict with consistency.
Yes but you can’t then also claim that all Linux distros are consistent.
