If any KDE developers read this, we seriously and strongly recommend that the KDE team takes a long, close look at Deepin. DDE shows both how pretty and how functional a Windows-style desktop can be, without needing Plasma's multiple overlapping options. This is what we'd hoped to see in Plasma 6, but didn't get. It's probably fair to say that Deepin is the most sophisticated implementation of a Windows-like interface on any OS these days. It's considerably more flexible and configurable than Windows 11 itself, and it makes Cinnamon, MATE, Budgie, and the others look clunky and old-fashioned. Don't get us wrong; this grumpy old vulture is happier with the relatively austere and Spartan Xfce, but for those who want something that's shinier out of the box, DDE shows how it ought to be done. Even Microsoft could learn from the Chinese developers.

Are they saying plasma should remove options?
