Enlightenment always looked good.

That looks just like Linux looked 15 fucking years ago.

So no, Linux can't look good, it's a simple fact of life that you'll come to appreciate someday if you're lucky.

Hello there 1998.

I'd just like to interject for moment. What you're refering to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.

Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called Linux, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.

There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called Linux distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux!

>That looks just like Linux looked 15 fucking years ago.

confirmed for not knowing wtf you're talking about

i like kde

looks like you're a weeaboo faggot, joe.

>implying

>Dat flickering

Not bad. Somehow it looks even more flat than Windows 10. KDE always looks less professional than Windows. Just look at that file manager.

It doesn't look good though. Hard to put my finger on why, but it's immediately clear that this isn't commercial software. It looks like a settings menu inside a fairly well-made flash game. It's like everything shouts "I look nice" but it's clear on first glance that it's all a cheap facade. You know what it looks like?

Right there around 1:20. Basically it looks like a fake operating system.


I don't know why. The best thing I can point out is the dramatically long faint shadow behind every window, in contrast with the simplistic windows themselves. Like the designer finally found an effect he could use and was aiming for maximum style points with it, despite not using it in any kind of context.

I'm pretty sure that meme has been dead for a while

Only normalfags say that, OP.

None of these statements are true unless the poster is blind or can't comprehend patterns for window design.

>registryd

Are you secretly running windows?

windows 10 stock UI is fucking ugly, why did they design the things in powerpoint
it takes ricing to fix that shit, like in this old windows 10 theme

>he thinks this start menu looks good

a big thing that i see wrong with linux is it's modability.

"you can just change x if you don't like it" is a valid statement

but it's graphically inconsistant.

When i get windows 2000, it looks consistant.

When i get linux... i get GTK+ and KDE apps that look all different from most of the OS and each other

looks like dogshit desu

Go to bed. Adults are talking here.

>GIMP Image Editor
>GNU Image Manipulation Program Image Editor

I think your shortcut names need work, famalam desu.

install gentoo
USE="gtk -kde"

This is what plebs will never understand

I refuse to believe this is windows

It is windows. I got more saved desktops.

Once again, it takes ricing to make windows look good according to the eyes of the user on which the OS is installed. With Linux you only need to pick a distro and everything looks pretty right out of the box.

>linux can't look good
>mfw OSX is unix

...

wtf I like windows now

...

...

>probably gigabytes of extra third party bloat just to rice

...

Why the salt?

Linux isn't Unix, and GNU actually stands for GNU's Not Unix.

It's 2016, the look of an operating system is (especially on free *nixes) based on configuration. It's not like there are technical reasons for the way things look.

The free software community has taken it's sweet time making decent themes, hence the general vibe that these systems are ugly.

>bblean/blackbox
>gigabytes
you having a giggle m8

because I like my system to be clean and efficient

what are you using for the color changing?

read filename and add what is missing

>>Linux can't look good
>Can this meme die now?

That is dependent on the ratio of aspies/autists to reasonably functional people on this board.

What is the best distro for a 4k touch screen?

Looks like shit. What is this, 2006?

gentoo

other than that, I don't have the time to fuck my shit up

>best distro
fedora, debian, arch, ubuntu, manjaro

that would have been acceptable maybe 10 years ago. Looks like an amateur WindowBlinds theme.

and lmao @ your comicsans-esque font

MS isn't much better these days either though, I've reluctantly decided to switch over to OSX. I'm tired of waiting for MS pajeets and Linux nerds to develop taste. Next computer is definitely gonna be a MBP

but this looks better

You must hate your eyes

NICE TRIPS SON

b-but user-san... you are a BAKA. why? because linux noobs ALWAYS try to replicate OSX. It's like they know their out of the box shit looks bad so they cheaply mimic OSX. But it is never 1:1 replication and often linux just has a laggy feel to it, even on good hardware.

If you want a gorgeous OS, just save up and buy a macbook pro. You won't suddenly turn homosexual like the Sup Forums fools belive.

windows ricing tutorial please sempai???

I'd rather not run a 800mhz processor

If the pajeet/poo windows joke stop then we will stop.

Kys

Vanilla Mac OS is boring, but you can at least say it looks pretty good for a stock GUI and requires no ricing whatsoever unless you're like I said, bored.

A pixelated mess of a desktop background, I can see the fucking blur and artifacts.

Doesn't exist because desktop threads no longer exist. Say thank you to the reddit tier mods.

It's actually lighter. bblean or bug.n is much lighter than explorer and weechat is lighter than graphical IRC clients by several degrees. That media player in the screenshot you replied to is just foobar.

>Manually lining windows up

why are you faggots trying to make windows look like linux?

>3360x2100 on an IGP

You must hate your performance

What does Linux even look like?

can you change your video card on that mac?

Are you perhaps referring to GNU/Linux?

you know now that i think about it.
Linux has always tried to look like windows.

I'd guess the minimalist WM aesthetics are considered characteristic of linux ricing

Think again, you can do this on Windows.

DOS.

...

Controversial opinion: ricing is easier on Wangblows than on Loonix.

>Im heaping piles of scripts and 3rd party programs on top of a pretty much unmodifiable graphical shell
>but I can, so you can do this on windows! THIS Is what windows looks like!
>Linux piles programs and scripts on top of a command line shell for GUI
>what does linux look like? *DOS*, LMAO THE 80S CALLED THEY WANT THEIR UI BACK OOOOOOOOHHHHHH

>Linux has always tried to look like windows.
That's true in the case of those in charge of distros.

A good thing that's your opinion, because it isn't actually true. You need 3rd party shit to rice windows.

>Im heaping piles of scripts and 3rd party programs on top of a pretty much unmodifiable graphical shell
>piles of scripts
>autohotkey
>a pile of scripts
Not even close.

I don't know why every time i see arch it just triggers me i never have even used it put i still find myself hating it.
Maybe.... Sup Forums is making me racist.

You weren't supposed to blur the outside edges of the frame there. Still saved.

>I don't know why every time i see arch it just triggers me i never have even used it put i still find myself hating it.
Because Archtards are living stereotypes

Archeschoolkids.

/r/ing the comic where some faggot gets recommended all these different flavors of linux but chooses arch and then rants about linux

aww thank you anonchan.

Is there a guide somewhere on the interwebs on how to change the wallpaper in osx? The customizations are truly innovative

foot should be inside frame
red frame artifact at bottom left
sword needs fixing
"by" text and triangle needs to be removed

That looks like shit.

what about now?

Much better. Very nice.

Cool, nice seeing my casual desktop from two and a half months ago posted by a creepy person on Sup Forums today... Why do you do this?

Desktop please.

Thank you i missed it.

>creepy person on Sup Forums
Fuck off normalshit

I'm glad I'm not the only one who hates those retarded thicc fruitphone-friendly menus they put in with Win8.

Say hello to the NSA.

Linux always looked good. That is true.

Oh my god, he just posted a screenshot of a desktop and made a post a bout UI looks, die.

Are you following the GIMP guide in that thread on how to correctly make renders? Because it's the one strength GIMP has over Photoshop.

Linux is Unix in anything but the name. Actually some commercial distros are Unix certified.

when i got into the thread it was actually just a windows tut i was planning on making a gimp one but if someone beat me to it there's no point then.

Pay $1000 and sacrifice a goat over Jobs' gravestone.

That's some impressive fucking weebery. How can you even listen to nip music for pleasure?

or just install OS X on my PC?

I thought there was a GIMP barebones guide already, but I could be very wrong.

Which DE is that? It doesn't look like a WM

A better question is why is it always Sup Forumsrtists that keep ricing.

>How can you even listen to nip music for pleasure?
...what?

il look around as of now im trying to decided if i should stay awake just a little bit longer

they want their desktop look like their favorite anime

I'll pass but could I have it anyway.
