Jerry,
I would just observe, as someone who has stuck with Windows 7 on several machines rather than upgrade to 10, that one of the bigger jarring experiences I find (in all Linux desktop distros I've tried, not just LL) is the inconsistency in scrollbar behaviour between applications. I quite appreciate that Windows 8 onwards started to adopt some of the scrollbar "fancy" behaviours apparent in most Linux desktops, but most applications I've used on Windows 7 still use the more "classic" approach of buttons at the end for fine control and "chunk" movement with clicking in the vacant control space (rather than clicking to move to the point proportionate to the click location in the range). I wouldn't mind so much if all the major applications behaved the same (though I find the behaviour of many instances very annoying as fine control is effectively impossible with large data ranges) but they don't; nor do many of the worst offending applications track the behaviour illustrated in the appearance settings either
.
That UI gripe notwithstanding, I still stick with LL for my Linux desktops as I've not yet found any distro that better suits me - so many thanks for what you have achieved!
