Linux: Some Ugly OS'

 
0
  #1
Jun 10th, 2007
Honestly I don't have much experience with Linux, but for the past three days all I have been trying to do is get Ubuntu and Kubuntu to at least LOOK decent.

I've tested Sabayan and OpenSuse. I mean, I haven't relly gona as far as testing the operating system's functionality and features. I've learned some commands and I think I know some but...

I mean, the OS' are just ugly. They are not sleek at all.
One thing I CAN say with confidence is that there are no Linux apps that are better than any Windows or Mac version.
I can say that with confidence knowing that noone can say any different.

What window manager are you using? I find KDE and Gnome very attractive, especially considering the wealth of themes that are available for them. You may want to look at www.kde-look.org and www.gnome-look.org for themes that will make your window manager look less "ugly".

Only registered users can view the thread. Care to summarize it for us?

what are these apps?
Is there a better compiler collection than gcc?
Is there a better shell than bash?
Is there a better editor than emacs ;-) ?
Is there a better wm than ratpoison or evilwm? (for my tastes that is)
Is there cooler special effects than beryl?
Is there a better web server than apache?
Is there a better OS dev VMmachine than bochs?
Is there a better browser than firefox?
Is there a better email client than mutt?
Is there a better assembler than gas?

I think not.

That's XP bare-bones bro.
That's not even the default XP out the box look.
Vista is the current Windows OS and it's pretty nice looking out the box even though it's an OSX rip.
I mean, it's the second nicest, sleekest looking OS.
