Sounds awesome not only you skipped the hardest part you have everything setup and get to live a good life. Unless of course that was your goal to experience building the colony.
I bet the reason you feel that way cause you know it's not ghibli who made it. The other part is, it's a meme. Though seeing this art style everywhere makes it loose it's charm and novelty. Instead of thinking all those movies they made. You get to think about 2 girls and 1 cup ghibli movie poster. That's bad for business especially for ghibli. It's the same thing that happen with Pixar art style.
At some point you were foreign to Windows also. Everything must have also felt new and weird. The only way to make it feel not new is experience. One way to do that is to stop thinking if you choose the right one the first time. Get your mindset back to learning the whole system, keep an open mind. Go Linux Mint feel it out. Another is stay on Windows 10 and wait it out perhaps Microsoft will budge and allow outdated systems to install Windows 11 with support.
