I was once a big fan of KDE. Of late, it has started becoming fancier and fancier and I got fed up of the fanciness. On the other hand I used to hate unity when it came out but go so much used to the unified menu bar that I have never been able to use anything else.
So far the only other serious contender seems to be elementary OS, it is the BEST looking linux distro.
- danoprey 13y agoUbuntu is still the best looking distro to me, particularly after a bit of customisation. Elementary just looks like a cheap OSX skin for Linux.
- DanBC 13y agoWhat parts do you think contribute to looking nice? (I am more interested in things that look nice before customization). Is this a case of better defaults? Or is it just as simple as different themes and window managers?
- danoprey 13y agoPersonally, I don't think Windows 8, OSX, or Ubuntu look nice out the box. They're all pretty average, but I think Ubuntu defaults with the overall look and feel is the most pleasant. The Unity sidebar and blurred glass search background is much better looking than the boring startmenu/metro or tacky faux 3d launcher and grey gradients all over the place. Granted, it's been a while since I have seen the default.
