But hey, I'm just a normal kid, like you, except that I ask questions
-
If you care for looks, GNOME looks far better than KDE, I would recommend Fedora GNOME to a newbie that wants a pretty and intuitive Linux experience.
-
Have you tried Fedora GNOME? Looks pretty nice to me, and the UI is powerful and intuitive as well as attractive.
-
I aint reading all that.
Have you tried Gnome? IMO it does a better job than OS X at providing a simple, clean, streamlined gui
-
If you think LLMs will solve everything, then you're doomed.
-
Why is this tagged NSFW?
-
You'll understand when you get older kiddo.
Oh if only you'd lived through the days of funroll-loops gentoo is rice.
Linux users have other priorities
-
just because of the nature of the post, i thought die hard linux fans will find it nsfw ;D
-
Good looking UI (designs) and good UX is not the same!
Apple is known for doing both relatively good (especially on the first iphone).
However personally I still dislike the Apple UI (the macos dock eats too much screen space, ios close all where?, ios back gesture,... for example) and UX (the system actively tries to prevent me from doing certain things). I mean, in the end, there often are keybindings that do the job, but those are harder to learn the the emacs keybindings imo.
-
u are indeed an artiste
-
You can shrink dock or hide it.. but anyways so much we dont know
-
Thanks it means a lot to me
-
I would not be so sure that I will understand. Wouldnt it make sense for you to explain for (L)users like me now instead of waiting for me another 10-20years instead I could use your advice now and change my life for better or worse?
-
Thanks, in the future I will provide this as vertical video in short story format on video social platforms.
-
it just doesnt feel right
-
No viruses is when the gui sucks
-
you can make it "right" to your taste using extensions
-
PARAGRAPHS, mf! Do you speak it?!

Because I met people in my life who are so good at programming and that other boring stuff but do not know what sells or looks good. You know what I mean? Look what you are wearing, do you really cannot afford something that suits you, you probably making 3 times what I do. Is similar thing happening with Linux GUI, can afford it but don't know that it would make your community 100x bigger? And yes I noticed it is getting better over past 10 years or so. Slightly."

Was about 3 euros or dollars. I am quite new even to MacOS - 5 years or so, maybe 8. 99.9% of time not using terminal."

Can someone collaborate with me or ideally other aspiring and avid UX/UI designers to create something that would blow everyone’s even apple users’ minds?

I mean i have no xperience and never even tried to make an os GUI concept, should I do it first and then do similar rant? using gimp or photoshop? I have both. Photoshop GUI looks better lol and I even downloaded GIMP 3.something RC…"

How do I know it is not malicious? Man, so much more to learn isn’t it? Is it that you linux users do not want big community and make linux look bad on purpose so there is no viruses and other shit that you can find for example on Windows, because I think if same amount of people who are using windows would use linux, linux would not be this secure. is it secure actually? Can you simply explain how is it secure compared let’s say to windows? Scripts do not start running themselves? Explain me like im five please."

There are many linux distros like Ubuntu, Mint, Debian, Arch, Fedora etc, etc. and they usually come with a Default Desktop Environment Cinnamon, KDE, GNOME, XFCE, etc. etc. This is generally how the UI looks and functions. Menus, Window styles, buttons, and general overall visual theming. There are many ways to make the linux desktop environment better looking and functioning than macOS. Mac doesnt even have the ability to auto snap and resize the window to the edge of the screen until recently. And even then it decent at best. So beyond being able to fully customize the look of the desktop environment by using different ones with themes options, you can choose a DE that has better customization for user interaction that suites YOUR needs. Ofc Apple has a whole ecosystem of products that and a cloud that syncs your stuff across, but that comes at the cost of near zero customization ability...But whatever floats your boat. check out unixporn community, there are some really nice setups over there to give an idea of what is possible.

Apple works with excellent designers for sound and visuals. It's very interesting to listen to their processes, how they work for months for a second long sound or a tiny icon. Apple has the means to employ these masters.
i hate using apple products, their inflexibility is frustrating when you know how open linux is. Apple infantilizes it's users. Linux is permissive, it becomes whatever you want it to.
Design is easy when "anything goes", it becomes "rocket science" when you're after good design. People spend their whole lives mastering these illusive practices.
when it comes to user interfaces, design is successful when you don't even see/hear/feel it. It gets out of your way.
AI is making 7, 9 fingered hands because it doesn't even know what a hand is, how a human body functions. How can it "create better sleeker design than apple" ?
