Hey /g/,

Best Linux distros / visual mods

> Absolute ignorant piece of shit Windows 10 user here.
>I'd like to give Linux a shot, but I'd also like to use a decent looking UI (Pic related)
>Which Linux distro does /g/ recommend, and how do go about modding it?

TL;DR: I want the above Pic as my OS
>>
Gnome 3 with some GTK theme & shell theme.

Check out GnomeLook
>>
>>52378375
Install Ubuntu Gnome
then install the arc theme

Fedora is gnome's dev OS, but the default font config is shit because of the whole sub-pixel patent thing.

You can fix it, but it's just an extra step

Rice it: https://wiki.installgentoo.com/index.php/GNU/Linux_ricing

Alternatively:
>KDE Plasma 5
>Deepin
>gnome

Those do not require ricing but the only good desktop is a customized desktop.

We always have like 3 desktop threads up and 1 stupid questions thread so you wont have problems asking.
>>
>>52378375
>Simple, easy, werks
Cinnamon, Gnome3 with themes

>Ricefag
Arch
Most of the really good looking desktops in the desktop threads run Arch. It takes some work and it's not for beginners, but you can get a really nice looking OS out of it.
>>
>>52378467
Is that i3?
>>
>>52378527
I don't know, I just wanted a webm from the million that there are in desktop threads
>>
>>52378518
He doesn't need Arch to rice. You can also rice Ubuntu/Fedora/Any other distro.
>>
>>52378518
>Cinnamon, Gnome3

those aren't even distros how the fuck are you comparing a DE to a distro you ignorant piece of shit
>>
>>52378375
Literally
>GNOME 3
>gtk-theme-arc
>some flat icon theme (Go for ultra-flat-icons)

You do not need any specific distro for this
Enjoy freedom

If you really want an advice since you are too new, install Ubuntu GNOME and the themes stated above

Arch with i3

OP here

Found it on Git: https://github.com/horst3180/Arc-theme

What is this guy running underneath? Arch?
>>
>>52380354
Just install antergos.. it comes with an easy2use installer and you'll be able to choose between a bunch of stuff... The theme can be found in the antergos repo...

sudo pacman -S gtk-theme-arc

It really is that simple

>>52379377
Dolphin is just so comfy isn't it?

>>52380394
What's the difference between Antergos Live and minimal?
