Why are default Linux interfaces so fucking ugly?

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.

Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called "Linux", and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.

There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called "Linux" distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.

because only amateurs are willing to do this shit for free

>>60299109
Mostly because most distro communities lack the funds for a professional designer team.

>>60299109
That's not a default Linux interface.

codemonkey work for free because autism
designers doesn't

>>60299109
Programmers usually have no artistic capabilities or desire to make guis.

>>60299109
Because there is no template on how to do it, every desktop environment wants to look different and the application developers just can't choose, so they go with what they feel is right. Therefore we are left with programmer art as application interfaces. Also that looks like something that was made back in the Gtk2 days, those were even rougher times.

Because l33t hax0rs cant into anything artistic.

They fucking suck at anything that requires the most basic sense of style or artistic eye.

So they cant into UI design, music, et al.

>default Linux interfaces
There are Linux interfaces and you are too retarded for all of them.

>>60299109
Most FOSS projects are poorly planned despite being well implemented. The good part is that you don't have the UX meme that results in a "pretty" UI that takes up half your processing power, but you end up with very unintuitive and obtuse GUIs despite having tons of features.

>>60299109
unity isn't a "default Linux interface"

>>60299109
Linus Torvalds is a horrible designer. Everyone hates his approaches for Linux User Interfaces but since he is the developer of the Kernel there is nothing anyone can do about it.

>>60299656
He never even made gui apps, okay except that diving thing.

No you don't.

Also you have to go back.

thanks for clarifying anon

Most shit like budgie or the utterly typical flat shit you see around for gnome is disgusting. I see a lot of people posting desktops that literally look like Android homescreens in landscape. Arc theme is so generic that when someone says "I can customize linux, look!" and see that I just look away in disgust. What is the point of trying to be different, if you're going to end up being the same?

Wtf is wrong with you faggots?

>>60301175
No worst distraction than poor design.

Also your picture is most ironic. You follow the same mentality around using a classic desktop like all the faggots here. Muh OS 9 looked good and Windows 98 was the shit. Go back to your "comfy future funk lovers" club

I don't give a shit about how it looks, it functions.

Only hipster ricers like you give a shit about having muh unique look when all you poo in the loos look the same!

Cinnamon looks like Windows in Debian. It have some dumb bugs tho.

Gui programming is a pain in the ass I feel. My experience is that I have a good old time writing backend then grudgingly add gui

>>60301473
Um you have to put a /s or something to suggest you are being sarcastic in text.

It looks cool, but it is quite buggy from my experience. Also some features that work on Ubuntu like tapping the touchpad to click don't work.

Fuck Fedora. It destroyed my Windows boot loader beyond repair.

GNOME looks fugly. I liked it before the dock bullshit.
On a side note, how's Fedora on the 8470p? I want to to install either Fedora, Debian or openSUSE.

Why not just use the default, cock lover?

I understand what decent design is and I try to accommodate users but I think the tools available mean that designing a logo, website or GUI becomes more of a hassle than it ever should be.

Good UI/UX designers don't work for free
