Will Linux ever look this good?
Nope, and won't be near as smooth. Pic related, giving Ubuntu a whirl for a whole month to see how much I can deal with it. It's ok so far, I need to find a better file browser for sure. I also can't seem to get my other display working with these nvidia drivers.
>>52253356
why the hell are you using Unity? Are you retarded?
>2016
>Using meme operating systems
Why the fuck haven't you guys gone back to Windows XP yet?
>>52253381
I'll probably slap Cinnamon or Mate on here, but my annoyances so far aren't with Unity. I'm finding many programs to just be shit compared to their defaults even on Windows or OS X.
>>52253356
>installs shitty icon pack
>wonders why things look like shit
>>52253381
As somebody who has used all major DEs and WMs quite extensively, Unity is workable and ultimately needs to exist if we want Average Joe to be able to use Linux.
To each their own, but fuck off with this"FUCK UNITY LOL" meme.
>>52253428
like what? I'm genuinely curious
also, mate is trash too. Haven't used Cinammon in forever so I can't comment
Gnome 3 is the best. It even has classic mode that is literally everything mate is trying to be but better.
>>52253434
Every icon pack I fuck with looks like shit desudesu senpaifam
>>52253486
I need to get a different file browser for sure, the screenshot utility is garbage, rythmbox is featureless and most linux music players look like ass, etc
Have you ever seen KDE plasma 5 desktop environment?
>>52253526
>get a different file browser for sure, the screenshot utility is garbage, rythmbox is featureless
these are all problems with Unity
Linux tries to hard to be like Mac.
>>52253434
FUCK UNITY LOL isnt a meme
>>52253558
Pretty sure these have all been true on Ubuntu for quite some time though
>>52253542
Yeah. It looks like android was raped by windows and mac.
>>52253241
Nope. Freetards have absolutely no taste in aesthetics. Even KDE Plasma, their best looking DE, is an amateur's idea of flat design.
Is there a way that I can Hackintosh my PC WITHOUT A MAC?
I've been wanting to do it for a while now.
i3-4170 , R9 380
>>52253584
you have no idea what you're talking about. Ubuntu isn't a DE. Unity is. Unity has a shit filebrowser and shit default programs
Gnome 3 and XFCE have better file browsers and terminals.
it's funny though that you're comparing it to OSX which has the worst file browser of all time
>>52253674
I know what the fuck I'm talking about. Ubuntu's default file browser back in 2007-2008 was shit as well, Nautilus i think that was bundled with Gnome 2.0. Doesn't matter, I can install whatever file browser I want, even with Unity. I just need to bother to take a look into what is out there anymore, as it's been 5+ years since I used linux enough of the time to care.
"Files" under Unity, by default, is far worse than Finder. That indeed is an impressive feat, no?
>>52253241
Yes, wait for Red Star OS 3.5. Should leak soon. The KCC is hard at work as usual, unlike Western devs
OS X does one thing and it does it well. Linux has better customization, but will almost never look better than OS X unless you spend a lot of time on it.
>>52253591
...while Yosemite and El Capitan look just like said Plasma 5. So what conclusion can be draw from this?
>>52253879
oh lawd they do not, Plasma wishes it look that polished
Same fucking threads every fucking day fuck off OP.
Gnome3 + Arc + Numix
>>52253949
Define "polished".
>>52253879
are you high
>>52254017
'kurwa'
yes
>>52253241
Oh god I think I just threw up in my mouth a bit
How the fuck does that flat-gradient shit look appealing to ANYBODY
>>52254017
Having used KDE a lot with plasma, it isn't as complete nor as stable.
>>52254052
From that moment on OSX is officially 'kurwa looking'.
>>52253356
>Using fucking Unity
May as well choke yourself with a bag of dicks
Pic related, Ubuntu MATE is sexy as fuck
>>52254132
We talk about look not stability nor 'being complete', whatever that means.
>>52253434
But Unity is legitimately terrible
I stopped using linux the first time I tried it because it was so bad
Tried out Ubuntu GNOME and FUCK ME it was excellent
>>52254179
I'm really starting to agree with you, like I said I've not used linux in some time. Last time I used Ubuntu, it was on Gnome 2.0. Unity is fucking cancer.
>>52253807
Fuck me, that looks incredible. Way better than either windows or OSX imo.
>>52254188
Plasma certainly doesn't look as good, I didn't think you'd dare make that claim.
>>52254224
Gnome is shit now, Cinnamon or Mate or bust.
>>52254179
>Hardware support for floating point.
>>52254249
>not i3
enjoy inefficiency
>>52254249
Was a couple years ago that I did that, use MATE now I'm >>52254179
>>52254227
Gnome 2.0 FTFW, unity is a pile of vomit
>>52254259
That's the actual book put out by the lua foundation and it's fucking trash

>That's the actual book put out by the lua foundation and it's fucking trash
Not that i know how to program or anything fancy, but my watch has a FPU in it.
>>52254315
You say mate looks good but you're still using the default ambience bullshit
>>52254403
This is a clean install from yesterday, ambience bullshit whatnow?
>>52253241
>not using dark menu bar
You don't know good looking until you've tried it.
>>52254442
Change your GTK theme/icons
>>52254461
Didn't occur to me to do that, I had my old machine customized but I usually only get to that about a week in, when I'm bored
>>52254179
unity is literally not that bad if you know how to use your keyboard
>>52254541
Are you implying I should stay in the terminal?
I already do, it's the only point to using linux, that cli is comfy as fuck
Unity is bad, it gets in the way of what I'm trying to do, whatever that is, it's better than when I started using it
12.04 holocaust survivor
but nonetheless it's one of the worse DE's out there
If i was to switch to MATE right now, does this guide look like what I need to do? It's been awhile since I did something like this.
http://wiki.mate-desktop.org/replace_unity_by_mate
Do I just restart the computer afterwards, or log-out then select Mate as my login session?
>>52253807
Is that Gnome with Arc? Damn, looks good. Shame it's such a resource hog.
>>52254620
Log out then select mate
>>52254623
Try Arc with Cinnamom, it's like GNOME3 without the bullshit, looks wonderful.
>>52254620
Yes.
You can omit the 5th point tho, it either should pick default applications automatically or just set the corrent application in the "open with" menu.
>>52254677
MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMmmmmmmmmm
Cinnamon
Hate the spice, love the DE
>>52253807
wwoooowwww, very nice! What is theme?
>gnome
Goddamn, anon.
>>52254667
Gonna dive in, will report back if all goes well. If it doesn't, I'll probably say fuck it since I just installed Ubuntu a few days ago and I'll go grab Ubuntu-Mate.
>>52253592
KDE5 is garbage. Worse than KDE4.
>>52254677
Cheers, will do.

ikr? Gnome is the suck now.

>>52253949
>Polished
There's a dog in the desktop thread that might like a word with you
Wait, should I go Cinnamon or Mate?
>>52254762
Cinnamon
>>52253241
>window with gaussian blur looks good
>>52254762
Either one, I prefer Cinnamon but MATE works just fine
>>52253241
I know the idea of that UI is to be dull and uninspiring to match the users but I almost dozed off looking at that picture, it needs a warning.
>>52254762
>>52254788
Cinnamon it is, I think I liked it better on my Mint VMs
>>52254179
mind sharing gtk/metacity/icon theme la?
I dont use ubango but i do use mate
>>52253807
Kannst du deine Icons posten?

It looks like ubongo gtk/icons lol

I wish it would look that good in Cinnamon :(
>>52253241
Linux DEs will replicate this look in 4 years, long after it's gone out of style.
>>52253241
That's pretty much what Unity looks like if you hide its taskbar and add a third-party dock. So, yeah, Linux pretty much already looks like that.
>>52255064
I use nano, somebody told me that sublime was superior, I don't see the appeal
>>52253807
The thing about themes like this is that they look great, as long as the applications you use are modern GTK apps. But the world of GUI frameworks is completely up in the air on Linux and you usually end up with a really disjointed set of applications that don't conform to any one style.
>>52255136
This
considering you can make it look however the fuck you want....

I autohide everyhing and barely use my mouse.

>>52255019
I've been using Ubuntu 14.04 for a while now, and it looks like its gnome version is too old for Arc, and I'm not sure if upgrading Gnome/gtk by itself is going to break stuff, and I feel like upgrading the whole system for the theme is too much of a hassle.
What do.
>>52257119
just wait for the next LTS.
>>52257598
Isn't that at least 4 months away?
Well then. I've waited longer for less.
It still can look decent.
>>52254087
I kinda love it. It's like trying to convince those people with the bootleg that they are getting into the communication era or something

that barely looks good

have you ever been to an ubuntu conference?

Looks like out of the box xfce with a shity wallpaper.
Fuck off osx fanboys, Linux is so riced it can look like anything.
>>52253241
that's so glossy it hurts
>>52258810
Okay, I guess they're evolving

Literally fucking how?

Not ever since gnome 3.18, now gnome draws all server side decorations for older programs too.
>>52253241
there are themes to reskin linux to look just like osx
>>52259646
DO NOT ENCOURAGE THE FAGGOT
> sure
>>52259982
honestly looks much better, best part is the tray icons aren't separated by random amounts of space like in osx.
sadly no menubar on top, fuck you guys i like it there.
