That's because it's just stylized win2k, and that was the last perfectly cohesive os they released. Everything since then is just a half executed extension of the flawlessly productive base.

What I hate about the new Calculator is that you can't resize it as much as the previous one. You could literally make it take up 3/4 less space.

Transparency glitches out for a second when you put it in fullscreen. It looks and feels amateurish. They should stop outsourcing to poojeets.

But those are their only developers

Microsoft had usability experts since win95, vista and 7 had strict guidelines about how programs should look and behave
Looks like they were fired around win8, since then everything looks like it was "designed" by some retarded manager in paint and excel

>kbloat
I know it's just shitposting but honestly plasma is not bloated anymore, not resource wise and not visually wise for most programs under the kde umbrella. Of course there's more obscure programs that has not been maintained in a lot of time and may be dropped in the future but regarding the most common ones, including the ones by default has received a facelift to only show sane defaults when still giving the option to show the tools you need for your personal use case.

Regarding the resources KDE Neon uses for me around 500MB on boot which for an extremely well featured environment that is not supposed to be lightweight is extremely good. At least much better than windows in my own experience, honestly if it not were for a pair of programs i would never boot windows again.

Don't let yourself to be fooled guys, try by yourselves. If you want a WM that uses 100-200MB that's a different issue of course.

This is actually more true than you realize

Linux is like 70% away from being able to just put out a fancy UI that gets people flocking to it in droves.

Don't forget to charge them $60 for the OS. People think free things are crap.

This is very debatable but you can cope with Microsoft's bullshit as much as you want.

>Corporations collect data so they can produce shit better fitting to the sheeps
Are you sure this is the case for Microsoft? Go and read the privacy statement if you haven't, and yes, on the top it says:
>References to Microsoft products in this statement include Microsoft services, websites, apps, software and devices.
So don't come telling us that "i-i don't think that applies to windows, only things like skydrive".
The fact is that Microsoft's terms are extremely wide about what they can do. If Microsoft don't have a record on being unethical this wouldn't be a so bad problem but due to it's record on being shitty i recommend you to be wary at least.

> but since Im not a sheep I use what I find useful
k

>I dont give a fuck about targeted ads either
That's up to you of course, but, just in case, don't shit on the people that cares please, Windows is already very expensive unless you beg for a cheap key to your school or work.

>since I block every single ad in existence
This is one of the reasons why people got upset with the forced updates, microsoft can do whatever they want and you cannot say no. So unless you want to use an older version of Windows or if you want to fight against your own software provider which honestly should be treating their customers as good as possible i consider it doesn't worth the hassle. Unless you're absolutely obligated to use windows and if you absolutely need a program that has no viable alternative for you, don't work on wine and that don't work well in a virtual machine i would recommend to at least give a fair chance to other more respectful alternatives. For your own sake i hope to be wrong.

Arch, Manjaro, Opensuse Tumbleweed etc.
Manjaro might be a good choice if you only used Ubuntu, but I haven't used it myself. It's basically lagging a bit behind Arch making it more stable.

>>60743384
fantastic, but I prefer interfaces that are both pretty and readable

>>60743998
It's just a localisation.

Britbongs get rubbish bin,
Burgers get trash bin or something similar.

kcalc wasn't even installed by default on kde neon, so I guess you can't call it the default kde calculator.
Here is the calculator I use with kde (which is default)

>>60743967
KDE neon is practically ubuntu 16.04 with a repository to keep all KDE's software updated to the most recent version, so most things that work for 16.04 also works for neon. In your case the only thing you need was to install the libreoffice-gtk and libreoffice-style-breeze packages to fix the problem. Sadly i find that the software store (discover) from KDE still needs a lot of work, it should be labeled a beta as best, i would recommend you to grab your software from synaptic if plasma discover gives you problems.

>>60744228
What you're saying is true but i never claimed that kcalc is the default calculator in kde, what i said is that the pics are how kcalc looks with the default theme on plasma. I don't know if kcalc is supposed to be the default calculator for the averge joe on KDE but mind that the default installation of Neon is pretty minimal, it just includes the DE + the minimum essentials and let's the person to choose the rest of their software.

>>60744102
I used chakra for a while.
It had a great kde setup and stuff like the correct firefox in the main repo.
But it is a pain if to use if you work with people who use ubuntu as you constantly have to install old libraries so you can compile their code.

>manjaro
it is my first time using an arch based distro
I issued the meme command pacman -Syu and this happened
should I even bother with arch distros?

I loved Vista and 7 looks. :(

>>60744428
>should I even bother with arch distros?
no anon, arch is popular here because part of /g/ thinks if a wincuck can install ubuntu then a functional distro is not hardcore enough to please their autism.

who knows, the takeaway from this thread is that i need to add a rule to my filters, to stop hearing about KDE

>>60744428
I used Manjaro for a few weeks, then didn't use it for a month, booted it up, and kernel panic during boot. Not exaggerating. Fucking archfags.

>>60744634
Honestly i would do the same but for Microsoft shilling threads, honestly just check the catalog and you'll be able to stop ignoring the elephant in the room.

I don't like OS X, but I have to admit Snow Leopard had the best GUI. Say what you want about Apple, but they have good UI designers...

>>60739830

Manjaro is shit

Antergos and Arch are better

You're all overreacting.

>>60745319
why do you think that

>>60744907
If that looks good to you,I bet my money on the fact that you are underage.

Style should be basic. If you need lots of flashy shit to make something look decent you did huge mistake somewhere in process.
UI should not take this much screen space EVER.
It is like people that install 100 toolbars in to internet explorer.

What's wrong here?

"Documents and Settings". I guess that's not really UI but more UX.

god rays that emit from detected bright points on the desktop background that then go through all the filters and noise texture in the pic. oh and then lens flare that explode from the edges of every window. but remember the UI elements inside the windows themselves are just flat textured rectangles.

Microsoft is still struggling to port the control panel to the new visual paradigm
i wonder what are they doing, desu
we are talking years and millions of dollars, and we still have a half baked OS in2017

the best thing about XP's appearance was that it could be completely changed
it wasn't the theme that was good, but the theme engine
