Why is KDE so fucking ugly out of the box? It looks like a school computer lab from 2012.
It really does take some work to make modern operating systems look halfway decent.
>>109608950KDE has been ripping off Windows for decades. But then along came Windows 8, and they stopped dead in their tracks and ripped off macOS for a while.When Win10 came along they resumed copying Windows lock, stock and barrel, but since there was 3-4 years of UI development where they went in a completely different direction, their following decade of catch-up never quite gelled.This is why it looks like a horrible mish-mash of Windows 7, macOS and Windows 10 - because it IS.
>>109608950>looks like a school computer lab Kino
>LOOK MOM, I POSTED THE 2021 SCREENSHOT AGAIN!
>>109609019Schizobro, it's one of the first Google image results for KDE. Of course multiple people have posted it.
>>109608950>It looks like a school computer lab from 2012.And that's a good thing.
>>109608970>all that effort into making the taskbar be a 1:1 copy of Windows 7>the mixture of completely different icons in the terminal immediately break the illusionlol, ricetards
>>109608950Yeah looks like a total eyesore, how do you make UI worse than windows 8
>>109608999spbp, checked, /thread, etc.
>>109609292>completely different iconsThat's....that's just LibreOffice...
>>109608950idk, maybe post pics of it so we can compare? at least in your pic it looks good, so i dont see what you're complaining about
>>109609314I'm talking about the flat symbolic icons from KDE casually appearing in the terminal's menu bar and "ruining the immersion". Theming in Linux is a nightmare because different parts of the UI of the same program may use completely different toolkits/hacks that don't give a fuck about your custom settings. That's why custom themes never look good.
>>109609406>flat symbolic icons from KDE casually appearing in the terminal's menu barWho cares about terminals, nobody uses them except for trannies.
>>109609516Yeah, who cares about loonix's UI being broken by design. Nobody uses it except for trannies.
>>109608950Hello again, Pajeet
>>109609573>loonix's UITerminals, by definition, are not a GUI.
>>109608950It's worked on by volunteer amateur devs as a side hobby project after they get home from their real jobs.
>>109608950its prefect out of the box imo
kde ui elements look fine, it's just that their default color schemes are terrible. not hard to change that though
>>109608950Especially infuriating because every non-tinker distro comes with this horrible default theme, when the whole point of me using a normal distro is to not have to tinker around with everything. Yet to make KDE not ugly you have to install third party garbage like Kwantum (reminds me of the bad old days of Stardock on XP) and install themes bit by bit on the Discover store. This is why every single Linux power user forgoes DEs entirely in favor of tiling window managers.
>>109608970for starters...the app icons on the taskbar's left side are the incorrect size and misalignedthe tray icons on the right side are spaced incorrectlythe clock font seems too bigthe white fog behind the window title does not extend the full title for some reason, and window title font again seems too big
>>109609110Plasma 6 was released in 2024
>>109608970>using memejaro in 2026
>>109609724Good thing that's not a terminal but a terminal EmUlAtOr then.
>>109613304You sounds like a faggot that can't enjoy anything in his life, and that makes me happy.
>>109613341(sic)
>>109613341why are you so afraid of feedback?
>>109613331>using arch in 2026
>>109613348I only take feedback from mentally sane people. OCDers need not apply.
>>109613352Used to deal with two guys that were 100% ocd. They were interested in a project I was contributing to (mmorpg server).It was fucking hell.Dumbasses could write twenty paragraphs about why the drop rate of one item was wrong by 0.5%. There wasn't one single issue in the github repo that didn't have massive comments literally writing a novelization of the issue as if it was those "write a story from this prompt" fanfics.I thought it was nice in the beginning, it was good to have passionate people and details are always good when trying to emulate an existing mmorpg server. But the novelty wore off after like three fucking days. Then it was wading through useless wordy bullshit to find if there was anything useful. Usually there wasn't, so both users went into the ignore list.One of them tried to convince to apply myself to the Mensa International association because I was guaranteed to have high IQ since I could write mysql queries.Yeah.
>>109613411Forgot to add, but it couldn't have been LLMs, it was like 2010 or so.
>>109609516>>109609573t. Yeah who cares about using linux, nobody uses them except for trannies
>>109608950>school computer labsometimes I forget that I'm getting old, then I read shit like this. what the fuck.
>>109613352do you honestly think windows aero looks so good because devs just used random values everywhere?absolutely notautist OCDs made sure everything is pixel perfectwhich is why "KDE is so fucking ugly out of the box", because it lacks or does not listen to us
>>109613594all we did in computer lab was screw around with garage band, tux paint, and scratch
>>109608950>school computer labGood. Why do you need more?
>>109613629Big difference between professional UI people and>aaaaieeeee it's not perfectly fit to my singular tastes like i want it to SAVE ME NIGGERMANNNNN
>>109613636Lucky, all I had was ms paint.
>>109608950I don't see an issue but then again I'm not trans.

>>109609665hello again, xsister
>>109615912since kde is woke and gnome too, what should i use?
>>109616989xfxe 4.12
>>109613594They have existed since the 1990s, though kids usually have personal devices nowadays. How fucking old are you exactly?
