I think most new Linux users probably do. They even distrohop before they find out they can swap the user interface of their distro of choice in most cases rather easily. Then they probably move to an well known working base distro and modify it to their needs. Which isn't too surprising given most come from Windows where you can't modify the look and feel at all.
I don't know using Linux is better than using Windows because if they used Windows before they probably don't know they have a option to customize their os
When I started giving Linux at home a serious look last year, I was that shot-at person because I thought you were stuck with the desktop environment that the distro came with (so kubuntu or lubuntu or etc.) Now I go by how well the package manager / software store works for what I need, knowing that I can change the desktop environment and even the window manager if I want to.
A little bit harsh. I mean there is nothing wrong if you value esthetics over other features. I know people who like how Windows 11 looks. My intention is not to blame people for their taste, but to make them reconsider if they should not rank other things as high as esthetics, like freedom and privacy.
nope. Billy's not right. People being overwhelmed by the choice of distributions and going by how their choice looks, means they have actually decided to try, to make the jump over ... first of all welcome, then let them make their own experiences and maybe later help them try some different distribution or WM or DE. Choice is great, let's not make it difficult by ridiculing people for maybe not considering all the criteria for their choice.

EDIT: OK, I misunderstood the comic. Billy is actually NOT right, he should be jailed.

I don't like this!
Why didn't he let him do what he wanna? After all, #Linux is all about freedom of choice, right?
