        That's a bit better. Looks like they've just taken to copying Deepin. Deepin has had that look for many years. But without the top bar, which I find ugly and confusing on Mac as it does things that are not intuitive and is often very far in mouse distance from what you are working on. It has a UI issue that the thing you want isn't logically connected to the thing that you are working on.

          Given the fact that the Deepin 15.4 image on Wikipedia has the 3D effect you dislike I think it is more likely that Deepin is copying macOS/OS X rather than the reverse: alt text

            Eww, you are right. Maybe this is why I never tried it before. The icons were great, but the effect was fugly.

              , the cheesy icons, even the default wallpaper are all terrible from a design aesthetic.

              Cheesy icons?

              yeah this are the icons of the century - not!

              As for the wallpaper - meh, I kinda like this particular picture, but it's not really any better or worse than anything else anyone uses.

              I have never been a fan of almost any GUI I've seen on a desktop Linux distro. Also, I'm pretty disappointed with the default icons in Windows 10 as well. The old Win 7 ones were some of my favorite.

                Yes, that's what modern design aesthetic looks like. You can like it or not, but this is the current standard for icon design. I know you like Windows "caught in the past" Metro disaster, but no one else does. You don't have to like these, but this is modern and clean.

                  I just said I like Win7, that's pre Metro disaster.

                    Windows 7 was aero and I didn't mind it to be fair, I loved windows 7, was quite an Xp fan once they got everything ironed out in sp3 as well.

                      I'm not hard to impress, but Deepin runs really really smoothly in VirtualBox -- even with the Effects mode enabled. I may have to install Directly on my laptop just to see how good it runs on bare metal.

                        Browsing around in a my install, seems more like Debian than Linux..

                            @bigbear that's a contradiction 😉

                              Okay, it looks more like OpenBSD than Ubuntu, and I thought it was based off the latter.

                                Now that I am googling I see its Debian based, and possibly off of a frozen version? That article is a couple years old though.

                                Would make more sense for the their DDE to be based off Ubunutu I would think. If Linux is ever going to win for everyday desktops stuff like this needs to come together.

                                  I spent a while tinkering with it over my lunch break. Seems to be pretty good so far.

                                    @dafyre its definitely the best looking interface I have ever seen.

                                      I haven't made up my mind about best looking, but it's definitely not the worst. I can barely tell I'm running in a VM most of the time.
