That's probably what I'll do when I try again. ElementaryOS looks like a good candidate for that.

- criddell 10y agoNo, that's exactly what I wouldn't do. According to DistroWatch, the top 3 right now are Mint, Debian, or Ubuntu. I would pick one of those (probably Mint because it's #1) and install it leaving everything set to the default setting.
- Klathmon 10y agoBut as much as people here might scoff at me, the way a desktop system looks is high up in my priority list. I spend 8+ hours a day looking at my main system, so looking nice and having a nice UX is important. All of those alternatives you mentioned seem ugly or complex to use to me, so I would want to switch to an "alt" window manager, which just sets me down the rabbit hole. ElementaryOS would let me leave it at the defaults for just about everything.
- criddell 10y agoI wouldn't scoff at you at all. Aesthetics matter. Attractive things do work better. You just have to be aware of what you are signing up for when you pick a less popular distro.
