I hate all these "most beatiful Linux desktop" things. They all suck. Let's look at this pic: https://ubuntudde.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/UbuntuDDE-D... It showcases the desktop of the "most beautiful desktop environment". Either it does not come with a browser installed, or the browser is not added to that launch bar or they changed the browser icon but not the email client icon. As the email client icon highli…

Well, now that you bring up Ubuntu, I wonder if anyone else out there dislikes its purple & orange color scheme. It might technically be a selection of compatible colors, but to me it's always looked ugly.

I like it a lot. They're compatible and they're warm which makes for a much nicer environment when you look at it for hours.

The cool and elegant design is impressive at first but gets tiresome usually.

I always disliked orange. Not sure if it's because all those old school books in the 70's that used black and orange for the only colors. But that is the associations I get from orange. Old school books.

I find it baffling that a website who's sole purpose is to present "the most beautiful desktop environment" would present low resolution, reduced color screenshots to back the claim. examples: https://ubuntudde.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/ubuntudde-l... https://ubuntudde.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/ubuntudde-f... There are better screenshots behind the "Digital Assets" nav link, but I wouldn't have found that,…

Desktop environments on Linux is really the most asinine dick swinging contest I have ever witnessed in my life. Subscribe to /r/unixporn for a single week and you will be absolutely amazed at the shit you will learn.

That’s a surprisingly wholesome community! Friendly/welcoming folks, and they take their creativity seriously enough to put work into it and critique it.

Linux is never beautiful IMO. There are so few packages out there that actually have good UI/UX design that you could put whatever DE you want on a distro and it will still be ugly. Whenever I use Linux I pretty much always end up right back at running Openbox because it ends up being one less thing to get in the way.

Check out KDE Neon. It is beautiful (unless you are as sensitive to alignment or typeface issues as I am to lagging ;-)

I don't like KDE because I like my UI components to have padding and not look like this: https://news-cdn.softpedia.com/images/news2/kde-plasma-5-16-...

I hardly believe that anybody would use most of those environments on a daily use.

I also dislike Ubuntus default background images so I use my own. There really isn't anything purple in Ubuntu default theme other than the background image.

I agree. To me it feels too saturated and too dark. Oh well, to each their own.
