From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Would it be possible to have a linux DE with that high quality like macOS? The last 3 years i did a lot of distro hopping. Im really Happy with gnome and ubuntu now ( reason was the rocm Installation script for my 7900xtx). Currently i donate whenever i use a Software more frequent. So i also would pay for a such good Look like on an iMac from my wife. Currently i use 4k Resolution and coloring settings with my spyder color camera. Edit: Im talking about sharpness of font rendering

@Banthex@feddit.org i get what you saying. but as i lack experience with distros i find it interesting. can you add a few more examples of polished like how?

[–] Banthex 8 points 4 days ago (8 children)

for example the corner on the left. Buttons somehow look better. macOS gives the the feeling of sharpnes. Im so sorry its so difficult for me to discripe it.

I'm still unsure if you mean sharp as in clear, crisp high resolution / not pixelated / not blurry or "better" design / ui(x).

If the first check (fractional) scaling settings / font anti aliasing / smoothing options (I don't use Gnome so don't know where), if the latter, one is a small team of probably underpaid devs (Gnome), the other one of the wealthiest companies in the world (Apple) so I'd sure hope Apple's UI is "better" than Gnome's (though looking at Windows it doesn't seem like having money equals good design, lol).

Yes also the gtk thing. Maybe what i search is that all software ui's should follow a better design template? But i understand the feedback for ui freedom.
