I tried KDE 1.0 two decades ago. Although it looked like a copy of windows ideas in some points, it already seemed better even at the time.

Kde 3 was released over two decades ago in 2002.
KDE 1 was clearly a 'copy' of CDE, hence the name. KDE 2 was much more windows like.
It was better up until about version 3. Then KDE got worse and Windows got better.
I think KDE is back in top again.
KDE 4 was the bad one, not 3.
In fact, it was so unpopular that it inspired a fork of KDE 3: https://www.trinitydesktop.org/
(IMHO, later versions of KDE got good, but even today I understand the appeal of just sticking to the same thing)
Never understood that part really. I was using KDE 4 since 3.97rc2 (which wasn't easy to install and still had some glitches) and absolutely loved it.
