hey, this video just hit my front page and as someone with genuine OCD i just wanted to ask you if you’d consider changing the writing on the thumbnail. OCD is a terrifying, debilitating mental health condition that severely impacts people’s lives, and it has nothing to do with a preference for minimalism, organisation or neatness. if you’d like to learn more about what OCD really is there are tons of resources out there on google, but as someone who has it, it really really sucks and it hurts to see it being joked about. i’m just commenting because misinformation and stigma about OCD is everywhere and we can all help by listening and educating, pointing out misunderstandings wherever possible and above all showing kindness to everyone, but especially to those who struggle with their mental health :)

As an Arch Linux user and Linux ricer myself I can already tell there's too much things that are not right. Such as no custom fonts or themes. Also, you don't even get to get a custom launcher or status bar. Achieving custom themes can actually require patching crucial Windows components and have some risks involved. Such as a messed up theme or worse, no desktop at all.
