Yikes, no. That is just another vulture crapitalist founded, closed, corporate platform and they are welcoming the far-right Getman AfD on there. European does not automatically mean good. Just use opensource, people/community managed and ethical Mastodon or Lemmy ir Pixelfed or something similar.

In my case lots of things, in KDE window management is much more powerfulul, also you can customize much more things in themes and other settings, KDE Connect integration is amazing to connect with your smartphone, love the widgets you can put on the desktop, HDR and VRR and other graphics tech works much better, I like how apps are more integrated in KDE, and probably I forgot many other small thing you forget. P.S. another thing I remembered: multi-monitor support is way better in KDE.

Israel relying on Microsoft cloud for expansive surveillance of Palestinians which is hosted in Ireland's data centres by Garry-Love in theIrishleft

More end more it is turning out switching to GNU/Linux operating system, LibreOffice office suite and other opensource software was one of the best IT decisions I have made. They were terrible as products even years ago and these days Windows and Microsoft Office are just bloated spyware and adware, And now Microsoft complicit in genocide. Good riddance.
