i love how derailed this is getting
what do you honestly expect? Not everyone on the forum uses a distro to be hipster or anything, people use it for productivity, and to perform tasks easier and maybe their computer isnt the greatest, so they use a linux distro, people like you only use it to be a leet hipster and try to look cool for it. Along with what you said in the megathread saying all you care for is the beauty, what if a distro ran like garbage and looked beautiful 10/10, would you like it then? What if a distro looks like garbage and runs amazingly with all the features you want without any type of issue at all, what would you take? A distro that looks so edgy, or something that runs well. Stop trying to be a hipster please.
I love how the topic's main idea is to write a story about a bunch of Linux distributions.
coming from the op who judges distros by its looks
