hundreds of distributions, yet none of them are remotely close to macOS or Windows in visual appeal. ugly names, ugly logos, ugly icons, ugly gray window frames, ugly animations, ugly ascii "art", ugly app store, ugly websites, ugly lockscreens, ugly anime wallpapers, ugly widgets. Everything is so ugly.
>macOS or Windows>visual appealThis hasn't been true for more than a decade. I can't wholeheartedly recommend anything you might like because our tastes seem to differ too wildly.
>>109796686
>>109796686still not as ugly as ya mudda
>>109796686Imagine calling microslop's horrific broken jeetware "beautiful". What the fuck is wrong with you? See a psychiatrist.
>>109796686Modern MacOS and Windows have zero visual appeal. They are hideous, and looking upon them causes physical and mental agony.
>>109796822This is cope. Windows 11 looks bad, I agree but MacOS has a beautiful design language that everybody wants to copy and rice their desktops to look like (see GNOME et al). Linux desktops just copy MacOS, WindowsXP, Win95
>>109796791linux users like you are ugly too
>>109796786>take more medstranny loonixers answer to everything in life
>>109796892
>>109796686If you're even thinking for 1ns about the appearance of your desktop and not how well it performs for your usecase, you are a faggot.
Itโs free to make it however you want
>>109796878MacOS was reasonably ok looking before Big Sur, but now its hideous, just like every other modern UI
>>109796966>consider polishing a turd
>>109796686Maybe I'm weird but default Mint is my favorite looking OS
>>109796686But Gnome is easily the best looking of the modern desktop environments/operating systems.I mean I prefer KDE overall since Gnome is kind of ass to use, but it looks way better than the wannabe Plasma on Windows or Liquid Ass on Mac.
>>109796991Make your own
>>109796686>Windows >Visual appealNot since 8 lol wtf
>>109796966ThisOP is a retard. As usual.
I think Ubuntu looks pretty decent out of the box, better than shitdows for sure. That said, most Linux users have the "function over form" approach and would actually prefer a functional but ugly-looking system over a closed but pretty one.
CLI is beautiful.
>>109796686if only it was ugly, it's barely working
>>109797310This is true. TUI is perfect. High information density clearly expressed as text instead of abstracts pictograms is esthetically pleasing.
>>109796686Beauty, specially in something as abstract as an OS, is completely subjective
Defend this freetoddlers.
>>109796686retarded hands typed this
>>109797381>computer designed for adults vs computer designed for children or women
>>109796686Not sure what point you're trying to make.
>>109797381>type 1 command vs download installer + tell it to install + humiliation dragging icon ritual + unmount virtual disk + delete installer idk man seems like the one on the left is simpler and better
>>109796686>yet none of them are remotely close to macOS or Windows in visual appeal.Let's look at the side-by-side comparisons you used to reach this assessment.
>>109796686the liquid (gl)ass update on my macbook has been pretty ugly, I have to say
>>109797381fpbp
The good thing about this is that you can make your desktop look as beumautiful as possible for you, it's especially easy now with LLMs
>>109797440What do you think the f stands for, anon?
>>109797381You fucked up your /etc/apt/sources.list or /etc/apt/sources.list.d, these warnings and errors only appear if you edited your apt sources without knowing what the fuck you're doing
>>109796686Windows and macOS have been ugly for many years. Just install KDE and you're set since you're noob enough to not understand that you can change everything in the DE in Linux. You can make it as ugly or as pretty as you want.
>>109797440>>109797638You idiots understand that fpbp means first post best post right? That's not the first post.
Function > form. Keep the UI minimal, then use landscape wallpapers for the eye candy.
>>109797381Do ios update in chrome?Judging pic it's it's an old version ubuntu, ign and code 500, error or it's simply retired. Unless Ubuntu had some rust bug they did have gui for packages and updates.
>>109796686so use vibeslop to improve it? Its not hard why is it not done?
>>109796686Golden Gate is really nice IMHO.
>>109796686Also linux devs are not capable of creativity, they can only copy macOS/Windows.I think gnome will have Liquid Glass 5 years from now (100x worse version of it ofc.)
>>109797450>DIY your desktopso the fosstard agrees that no one at HQ is capable of making something worth looking at so they ask users to "make their own".
>>109796686You forgot โugly oversized time/tiny date on taskbar.โ Every Linux distro looks like a Squidward nose on top of the UI. I donโt think Linux users even see any of it.
>>109798955>Every distro uses KDE
>>109798154>100x worse version of itThat would be genuinely impressive. I'm sure Gnome is up to it. I mean, look at Gnome now. But still, impressive if they manage to pull it off.
>>109796686Bait thread btw
>>109796686skill issue/thread
>>109798154They are not copying macos and windows, not really. What you need to understand is that UX designers are a distinct people and culture, this culture exists beyond the boundaries of companies. macos and windows and modern gnome are designed by the same people. Its their culture.The people who made old linux are not the same people who made gnome 40. Old linux was designed by programmers, nu linux was designed by UX designers.
>>109799286>/threading your own post
>>109796686I accept criticism from Mac users, because I like the look and consistency. I don't get the Windows comparison, KDE Plasma has everything Windows does + much more, it can look exactly like Windows 11 with better consistency.There are so many old ass UI elements from Windows itself and from 3rd party installers and apps, exactly what you are describing... I don't get it. Sure, Mint doesn't look ultra modern, but I feel like GNOME and KDE Plasma are really pretty.
>>109798154They love Apple so much that they even don't use their own operational system. Hypocritical onions faggots.
>>109796686It's true. Most of Linux/OSS is ugly. I think GNOME has the best aesthetics in Linux. I use KDE because it's more like Windows but it's uglier than GNOME.
>>109796686macOS looks like a fisher price tablet and still doesn't have proper window management after all these yearsitoddlers have to be the most low IQ shills I've ever seen
>>109796686MacOS's UI sucks ass>Linux is uglyLinux is a kernel, fucktard
LINUX IS BEAUTIFUL
>>109797406>to unmount the virtual disk you drag it into the trash
loonixers are not ready to be unplugged. And many of them are so injured, so hopelessly dependent on the system, that they will fight to protect it.
>>109796686Linux is necessary and people using any flavor of unix is good. Windows is unusable dogshit and not everyone wants/can afford a Mac.
>>109796686Be the change that you want to see STOP WHINING YOU LAZY CUNT
>>109796686>Mint screenshotI mean. Yeah.
>>109796878>Windows 11 looks badNo, it looks sexy because glass is sexy
>>109797030I wouldn't call gnome best looking but it has come very far
>>109797381>left tells you exactly what it is doing>right treats the user like a baby and hides scawwy words
>>109801244'cept Mica looks more like semi-transparent plexi
>>109801268>left is your OS pulling in a hundred packages that will go directly in /usr>right is a neatly-contained bundle that you can delete at any time without orphaned dependencies
>psycho projection
this is a LLM bot thread
>>109803252Who the fuck is buying a pass for their openclaw instance?
macos is a shitty walled garden with 8 programs you're forced to use, no shit it's easier to coherently theme a crippled toy system
>>109796878if I can't use windows xp, then I will use a copy of windows xpsimple as that
>>109796686windows is ugly, slow and full of ads
>>109796686gnome looks quite good most people prefer it its qt stuff that looks weird but thats because qt vs qml styles clash and have subtle differences. Should be solved with their new union engine.
>>109797381idk i just do ctrl+alt+t, type codex and say "computer do X" and it does it
>>109797381The command line is almost completely optional these days.
>>1097966863-4months of linux and I cant imagine going back
>>109805100And my updates occur automatically in the background under Linux, even the gui is optional for it. Gnome is easily the most user friendly DE between the MacOS, Windows, and Gnome I regularly use.
>>109803947beats using fucking gimp and kdenlive
>>109805100everything in that picture is ugly
>>1097966861. ZorinOS2. Windows UI is ad bloated and performance heavy. Taskbar is literally React native being compilled under the hood3. MacOS's window and workspace handling is genuinely the worst experience I had. All that because Mac tards think different (tm)
>>109806306he doesnt know about gnome and javascriptdont be a reddit parrot anon
>>109796878no, current macOS is literally amateur pajeet design - it mixes old ugly icons with pseudo Aero glass look
it only makes sense to complain about a desktop's appearance if you're a woman/gay. a man just sits at the computer desk and does his tasks.
>>109796686linux is a kernel
>>109796705>>109796686linux mint is extremely similar in overall design to windows 10/11>black, flat taskbar>home button in the lower left corner>app search upon clicking on home button>date/time and widgets in lower left cornerif you don't like the font, you can change it to literally any font downloaded online, which neither apple nor samsung nor windows lets you do. you can also turn off anti-aliasing on text, or switch between rainbow and monochrome.
>>109806643mint doesn't even have basic transparency ootb and the fonts and panel icons are terrible, KDE is closer to a modern Windows look and mint doesn't even support it
>>109806667i've found panel transparency distracting, personally. it wasn't a thing during windows 7 or XP which everyone on this board apes
>>109806437this, I use gnome and don't see it 99% of the time because it just GTFO of the way
>>109796686>yet none of them are remotely close to macOS or Windows in visual appeal.serious questiondo you have a vagina?
>>109806643neither windows nor mac needs "tweaks" because they look nice out of the box. a concept that I am sure is alien to loonixtards
>>109798154This is the worst part, Linux always looks like a shitty bootleg copy of whatever is the recent mainstream design trend.
>windows>visual appealthere is like 30 years of windows design stuffed into one OS, it's incredibly inconsistent
>>109796686Have you tried Zorin? That's the only Linux distro I tried that looks sleek and professional out of the box
>>109807160if you aren't even bothering to tweak the user interface of your windows machine, i can't believe how much microslop is assraping you behind the scenes if you haven't installed winaero yet.
>>109799260but will it be anal powerhouse?
>>109798144Canโt wait to install it Monday on my M5 Pro MBP. Gonna be great.
>>109806306macOS has the best space management. Especially true once additional monitors are involved.
>>109808469>Multiple monitors involved>Can't change the scaling of an individual monitor>Have to set the resolution separately instead>4K monitor is unreadable at full res but becomes blurry mess at 1080p>Meanwhile you can change it all in Windowsah yes the Mac experience
>>109808566>Can't change the scaling of an individual monitoryou can tho>Meanwhile you can change it all in Windowsif you set a custom scale factor for one monitor the second one is forced to have the same scaling without a way to set a different scaling valuewinshit is garbage
