It’s in the eye of the beholder, of course. But it would be great to see some solid recommendations.

The distribution doesn’t to too much, its mostly the desktop environment. I like the look of KDE Plasma the most. But usually I craft my own look after a while.

GNOME vs KDE gang fight has been summoned.

The look of GNOME isn’t the problem of GNOME. ;-) I’m not a good citizen right now.

Absolutely. GNOME often looks better, but it just doesnt work. Basic things everywhere are removed or not added.

Well GNOME has issues but in terms of look it’s 69420x better than KDE.

Agreed. I think it’s not about distros we should have pay attention, but desktop environments.

And about “most appealing” DE I think it’s subjective. Surely KDE has the most flexible structure and may be exactly what you want, but Gnome is also appealing for some people (myself included).

Again, there is no right or wrong, just personal preferences

You don’t need much to make something look fancy or modern. Even XFCE can look modern.

edit: made it less offensive.

Good for you that you like your XFCE environment

I would like to see how your desktop is, if you don’t mind

However, again, it’s personal preference

I took it as a question of which distro looks nicest out of the box (like, which distro manager has made real effort to make something particularly nice looking).

Somebody needs to tell me what they’re doing to Plasma to make them like it so much because when I install it with Breeze it just looks like Windows 2000.

Windows 2000 looks nothing alike KDE Plasma with Breeze theme. But besides that point, you don’t have to like what others like. It’s just taste.

I don’t really care how it looks precisely, so long as its semi-professional and consistent in its style.

Like, I change the font to Fira Sans, because Noto Sans gives me depression, but the rest of my customizations are all just to carve out my ideal workflow.

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.

  • Posts must be relevant to operating systems running the Linux kernel. GNU/Linux or otherwise.
