I’ve dabbled with Linux over the years, first with Ubuntu in the early 2010s, then Elementary OS when that dropped, and a few years ago I really enjoyed how customizable the gui was with Xubuntu. I was able to make it look just like WIndows 2000 which was really cool.
Which current distro has the best GUI, in your opinion? I find modern Ubuntu to feel a little basic and cheap. I guess I don’t really like modern Gnome. I’m currently using Windows 10 LTSC which is probably the best possible version of Windows, but I’d jump to linux if I could find a distro with a gui that feels at least as polished and feature rich as Windows 10 LTSC.
GNOME with Dash to Panel is my favorite GUI, but I’ve been warming up to KDE since their Wayland VRR implementation is complete and working while GNOME keeps waffling over something as stupid as “omg what if we have to show a VRR toggle in the settings??? our users will be CONFUSED!!!”. While GNOME is very smooth and functional with extensions, this stupid limited mindset of the core developers prevents it from being a good choice for gaming. Mutter-VRR fixes it and actually works very well, but they keep breaking it with updates.
@CalcProgrammer1 @bigbox try it with arcmenu too. so good.
