Is there a linux distro that doesn't give you cancer from an aesthetically viewpoint? I've installed cinnamon mint which is considered one of the best looking distros out there, but it's too 2001 for me. Too many years of OS X have spoiled me. Even Windows vista looks better than this.

>>57449442
Unity? By default it's a bit gross but I just install arc-theme and wheeee pretty desktop

Unity 8 might look better but the way it's going we won't find out until 18.04, I bet.
>>
>>57449442
fucking get a distro with a good base system and then just install your own desktop enviorment and window manager.
>>
>>57449442
maybe elementary OS if you're a macfag

But you can make things like xfce look very nice if you rice it

ZorinOS, Elementary, Ubuntu Mate. All of these 3 look fine, Ubuntu with Unity also looks great but you'll need to download unity tweak tool to customize it better.

kek

Honestly, pretty Linux themes are rare. It's putting lipstick on a pig anyhow, most applications will look and work like it's the fucking '80s
>>
>Too many years of OS X have spoiled me.

So run OS X. You can run any other OS in a VM on OS X if you also need what they do. Nobody is forced to choose only one operating system.

What

Anyways, just get Plasma. It looks like Windows but it's easily the best looking DE out of the box
>>
>>57449719
USE WINDOWS 10 IT'S THE BEST OS
>>
Linux Mint KDE
>>
>>57449442
If you're so used to osx, use elementaryos

Use the DE from Solus.

Arch. If it looks like cancer it's your own fucking fault for making it do that.
>>
>>57449557
How does one customize?
>>
>>57449442
Go to Preferences > Themes and pick something else from the list or download more themes. Cinnamon is on par with Windows and you can make a DE look like macOS if you really want to.

>>57449674
So how about you post something that you think looks good?

Manjaro + Xfce for me.

Most distros have this problem. They all kack polish and have UI elements that clash.Somethings always broken or doesn't work. Honestly would work better if developers focused their efforts on one distro and a set hardware.

>>57449442
Solus.

Budgie is clean and beautiful.

>>57449442
WindowMaker Live. It's like proto-OS X as it's as 'NeXT-like' an experience as possible.

There's not really any distro that looks good OOTB. Try Solus or Hawaii OS.
>>
>>57449442
Solus

>Solus
Only if you want useability cancer.

In related news, budgie-remix is now officialy supported ubuntu.
>>
>>57456570
But Ubuntu is still inferior to solus.

I went from Linux mint, to Ubuntu mate, and now to Solus.

Solus is the best of the 3 hands down. Miat responsive and fastest distro. Boots up in under 3 seconds.
>>
>>57456586
>boots up in under 3 seconds.
The least important metric for me. I went back to ubuntu on family pleb desktop because nothing precompiled runs on solus (for those of you who don't know, it is semi-rolling clusterfuck like arch).

For people who fancy arch, solus is a nice proposition tho.

Why do I get the same dejavu as with arch.

"It just works, mang, trust me, you just need to chroot it via lxc with debian libs, it's simple...."
>>
>>57456660
But you don't need to do anything with Solus.
You can tweak it if you want, but the installer is idiotproof (this should matter to you) and I have yet to experience any issues with it on any PC.
