Side dock, top panel, lack of a “start” menu are already three immediately visible differences, and you claim it’s not that different?

The side dock is a taskbar except on the left hand side. Big whoop. Top panel is basically the system tray as seen on Windows, with all functionality fairly obvious just by looking at it, and there is infact a start button where you can type in the program name you’re looking for, just like most people do in Windows. Not exactly MacOS levels of relearning.

Which is EXACTLY why I mentioned them, so that they can Google it.

Or…you can explain what you are talking about. Like I did for you. Sending newbies off on wild Google chases is not helpful.
