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.

    I’m using Fedora with GNOME now and enjoying it. If you want a more Windows-like experience, go with Fedora KDE spin.

      Although KDE is windows like out of the box, it is really customizable without the need of addons, which I like. The Gnome addons can be really cool, but in my experience they can make the desktop less stable and often get abandoned.

        This can’t be understated, when I started using linux it was on gnome and everything worked great, I installed plugins and it still worked fine at first but then everything started breaking

        I’ve heard people complain about KDE stability but as far as I can tell they are old complaints that aren’t relevant anymore, becouse while for me things kept breaking after I used plugins on gnome, on KDE I customized the hell out of it and then almost a year later, and several major updates, and still no issues
