Why are default Linux interfaces so fucking ugly?
Why are default Linux interfaces so fucking ugly?
I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring 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.
because only amateurs are willing to do this shit for free
Mostly because most distro communities lack the funds for a professional designer team.
That's not a default Linux interface.
codemonkey work for free because autism
designers doesn't
Programmers usually have no artistic capabilities or desire to make guis.
Because there is no template on how to do it, every desktop environment wants to look different and the application developers just can't choose, so they go with what they feel is right. Therefore we are left with programmer art as application interfaces. Also that looks like something that was made back in the Gtk2 days, those were even rougher times.
Because l33t hax0rs cant into anything artistic.
They fucking suck at anything that requires the most basic sense of style or artistic eye.
So they cant into UI design, music, et al.

Someday you guys
>this discontinued interface that no one will be using in a year looks bad
ok
>default Linux interfaces
There are Linux interfaces and you are too retarded for all of them.
Most FOSS projects are poorly planned despite being well implemented. The good part is that you don't have the UX meme that results in a "pretty" UI that takes up half your processing power, but you end up with very unintuitive and obtuse GUIs despite having tons of features.
unity isn't a "default Linux interface"
Linus Torvalds is a horrible designer. Everyone hates his approaches for Linux User Interfaces but since he is the developer of the Kernel there is nothing anyone can do about it.
He never even made gui apps, okay except that diving thing.
but it seems to be infected with a virus that displays CP
my gf illya is 500 years old baka
yeah, that's why your post was deleted.
Fuck off, you're disgusting
>not knowing you can delete your own posts
Why did you delete it? Out of shame?
More likely it was deleted
Stale pasta
your really dumb
When u do get to that level ur going to make a ton of money and not want to work for free,
T. Me, why the fuck would I code and make aesthetic ui for free when I get paid hundreds by the hour
Suicide yourself
Now kiss!
POO IN LOO can't into English.
>Why are default Linux interfaces so fucking ugly?
Because nobody with a hint of taste will go near them.
No you don't.
Also you have to go back.
Because open source cannot into design. The only distro that looks good out of the box is Deepin.
>default
Difference between riced and default, lad.
*lass
>appshit
>looks good
Spotted the Redditor, dad!
thanks for clarifying user
Deepin is trying
Most shit like budgie or the utterly typical flat shit you see around for gnome is disgusting. I see a lot of people posting desktops that literally look like Android homescreens in landscape. Arc theme is so generic that when someone says "I can customize linux, look!" and see that I just look away in disgust. What is the point of trying to be different, if you're going to end up being the same?
Elementary os is cool out of the box I heard, never used it myself.
>caring about PC aesthetics
>not using the Windows Classic Theme
Wtf is wrong with you faggots?
No worst distraction than poor design.
Also your picture is most ironic. You follow the same mentality around using a classic desktop like all the faggots here. Muh OS 9 looked good and Windows 98 was the shit. Go back to your "comfy future funk lovers" club
Loli is illegal user. Stop posting this shit, you disgusting faggot.
>No worst distraction than poor design.
Learn English, Ramesh
>Muh OS 9 looked good and Windows 98 was the shit.
I don't give a shit about how it looks, it functions.
Only hipster ricers like you give a shit about having muh unique look when all you poo in the loos look the same!
You need to look up what sarcasm is
...xe typed, while posting a non default interface to prove xer point
Xe what? Xerxes? Do you suck dick?
>xe
This ain't fucking Star Wars.
Who gives a shit about UI.
>Linus Torvalds approaches for Linux User Interfaces
retardo
Cinnamon looks like Windows in Debian. It have some dumb bugs tho.
Gui programming is a pain in the ass I feel. My experience is that I have a good old time writing backend then grudgingly add gui
Um you have to put a /s or something to suggest you are being sarcastic in text.

It looks cool, but it is quite buggy from my experience. Also some features that work on Ubuntu like tapping the touchpad to click don't work.
you are not using gnome, the cleanest, most user-friendly and most comfy desktop environment

Because linux does not have a default interface baka
Because they've all been using the same shit icons and logos for 15 years
Fuck Fedora. It destroyed my Windows boot loader beyond repair.
GNOME looks fugly. I liked it before the dock bullshit.
On a side note, how's Fedora on the 8470p? I want to to install either Fedora, Debian or openSUSE.
WHERE THE FUCK IS /bant/?!?!?!?!?!?!
>>>/reddit/
HASAHSHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
Pretty sure you did something wrong, friend.
...
Material design for Linux!
Because they want you to feel right at home, you fucking pleb.
Use KDE and stop complaining. Not mine though.
>I don't give a shit about how it looks, it functions.
>Windows Classic Theme
Why not just use the default, cock lover?
I understand what decent design is and I try to accommodate users but I think the tools available mean that designing a logo, website or GUI becomes more of a hassle than it ever should be.
Good UI/UX designers don't work for free

Why are the retards who create these threads so fucking stupid?
