From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Mate, lxqt and even xfce look very old. I know they can't have fancy effects but I think it's weird they don't come with a modern theme. They could make them look at least like Cinnamon. Even Windows 10 didn't have rounded corners and looked great, with or without blur. Simplicity can look good imo.
Cinnamon is great but it's GTK3 and a little bit older in terms of design (though it's more sane than whatever the new trends are so it's not bad but just not my thing).
Budgie isn't a very big project so idk how consistent it is (it's something I care about a lot). Though I think I never tried it myself.
But actually I don't hate all of that projects. I just like GNOME and it works so so so well for me. My troll behavior towards other DEs is just a joke inspired by "Mii beta" YouTube channel. Btw KDE has performance, even though it's more than feature-rich. That's impressive.
oh okay ig its satire, ik mii beta bro shills GNOME lol.
Well not sure if I can call it satire because I think libadwaita is simply the best (and not MacOS stuff because it's a bit bloated).
