Linux can look nice. Unfortunately not by default. https://www.reddit.com/r/unixporn/top/ https://www.reddit.com/r/unixporn/top/

  elementaryOS IMO looks more than nice by default.

    If only they worked to make Pantheon work well with other operating systems, instead of forking off as a separate one. And picking Ubuntu as the base to fork off is not the best choice.

  Plasma 5 looks good and feels polished by default. I do most of my work on my desktop, and wouldn't give up my highly configured xmonad+emacs setup for anything. But I recently got a new laptop and decided to go with KDE and was blown away by the polish. The style of all the GUI apps I use is consistent and I can press a button to switch to a nice, consistent dark mode. I have encountered absolutely no issues with screen tearing or performance, with were common when I used linux on previous laptops. I've faced no issues with fonts after installing Google's noto font package. KWin's external monitor support is also satisfactory. I haven't used recent versions of GNOME/Cinnamon/Unity, so can't comment on them, but KDE Connect is the killer KDE feature for me. I love the integration between all the apps on the KDE ecosystem. The calendar syncs to my Google calendar, and my contacts and mail are handled by KDE too. I didn't need to install a thing apart from the KDE workspace and apps for any of this. I've even switched to using the Breeze theme on my xmonad desktop.

  I've been bugging the sys admins at work to fix the fonts on our RHEL boxes for months...
