That's fine, but it doesn't imply copying Windows - if anything, copying Windows would mean more "change for the sake of change" than sticking with something conservative like Mate (continuation of Gnome 2), Cinnamon (more conservative fork of Gnome 3) or e.g. LXDE. Linux have plenty of options whatever your preferred rate of change.

If you want to avoid change, see if the GNOME/GTK apps you use are available in forks for Mate or Cinnamon - if they are, chances are they'll change far less.
