>>
>>109855409
No.
>>
>>109855409
yes. windows.

>>109855409
Windows 10+WSL
Omarchy :^)

>>109855409
Unfortunately no, but a lot of it is to do with both gtk and qt being awful.

Slackware with Hyprland + DankMaterialShell

Breeze is the ugliest default theme any operating system has ever shipped. I wish they would just use the upstream Qt6 default of Fusion.

>>109855409
Linux mint, I prefer cinnamon but xfce is fine too
>>
>>109855409
Distros don't look ugly, DEs do, you faggot. But no, there are no good DEs either.

This. Use windows if you are too retarded to set up linux

spending hours ricing is not normal anon unless you're a neet, actually even if you're a neet you have better things to do with your time.

it's art, but it does take a lot of time

no thanks

For me it's Anti-X. Runs in a fraction of the memory Zorin uses.

Install Gentoo

Sucks that it takes you hours to do these things. Maybe you are just retarded.

There are no modern operating systems that look attractive out of the box.

Haiku OS distro

Linux Mint. Been using it for over a decade nonstop, multiple desktops and laptops. And I've played around with other distros as well obviously, but the best bet is just stock Mint with the Cinnamon Desktop Environment. It ships perfect, just switch Firefox to your favorite flavor of chromium

Use case??

>>109861126
okay GAYland shill, mint is bringing it december of this year. not that anybody actually uses that garbage, but start brainstorming more FUD because your gig is running up
>>
>>109855409
Mint is the only one that does it for me. I hate "modern" minimalist low contrast distros.

CachyOS with KDE plasma if you want to make it look modern

It's still mad to me that people use Debian as a desktop OS. it's for servers.
>>
is deno and the freshest version of yt-dlp on the debian repos?
>>
>>109862499
2026.08.19 is on testing. 2025.04.30 on stable. I can't see deno listed as a package on debian. Googling it there is an unofficial repo
>>
>>109862793
thanks. i've tried installing both using the methods they recommend but they always fail - pip install etc

Is this bait? Honest question. I'm a linux noob and Debian hasn't given me any friction at all. Been using it for 2 years.
>>
I just can't do it, KDE is so fucking trash.
I guess I'll forever stay a Windows baby duck.
>>
>>109866588
no Im completely sincere. there's a reason cope like appimage, flatpak and snaps were invented.
heavily customized programs diverging from upstream and backports are also just bad.
t. on linux for 14 years
>>
>>109866740
I guess I don't have any problems with it because I don't do anything too complicated in the first place. It's just a desktop for me. I use it for web browsing, word processing, watching youtube and playing vidya.

>>109861126
Why the fuck would you want HDR as an end user for the desktop? I can see needing one if you do professional work in some sort of post production.

Mint isn't even implementing any of the Wayland features anyone actually cares about: the Cinnamon Wayland session is just going to have feature parity with the current X11 session and nothing more.
>>
>>109856474
cinnamon i always thought looked and felt pretty good out of the box
