Nowadays Windows is filled with adware and is fairly slow, but it wasn’t always like this. Was there a particular time where a change occurred?

    It just looks like you don’t like the GNOME desktop environment (the one Ubuntu uses by default), because it’s very different from what you’re used to, but that’s just what GNOME is, you either like it or you do not, it’s not very customizable by default. I advice you to give KDE a try, because by default, it’s a lot more similar to windows and is a lot easier to customize.

    E: There is a difference between switching distros and switching desktops. You can install KDE on Ubuntu if you don’t feel like reinstalling.

      I already mentioned switching window managers. It’s still way beyond most users to do something that drastic to solve a simple problem.

      I’m not saying I can’t do it. I can and I may. I’m saying you can’t start with “it’s easy” then slide straight into, “switch distros/desktops”. That’s the opposite of easy.

      And based on how hard everything else in Linux is, I suspect I just don’t have the energy for it and will just put up with no shortcuts for now, which is what I’ve been saying this whole time.
