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.

Out of the box, I love Vanilla OS's color scheme and wallpaper, with Fedora in second place for a default Gnome environment. I like the Pop_OS theme. I use River WM with a gruvbox theme (Vivaldi with no open tabs pictured), which is about as far from out of the box as you can get. Incidentally, I've been team light theme forEVER, but I've switched with gruvbox.
Distros aren't going to be visually appealing as they typically and just standard desktops or CLI
highly subjective
I like the default look of Nitrux
DDE?
I like the look of tiling wms with a top bar. Hyprland looks especially nice with rounded corners and color gradients. Too bad it's not stable enough to be my daily driver at the moment.
Mint with Papirus icons and blue accent colour set to match the folder icons of Papirus theme.
Deepin looks great, I wouldn't use it but it looks great.
Logos and soft branding are important for my aesthetic pleasure so I like Fedora GNOME with Papirus icons and Oxygen Blue cursors. Manjaro GNOME, similarly set up, would be my second choice.
elementary! It’s macish, but I still think pantheon is my favorite DE
I tried their icons on KDE (there is a theme) and these old, very detailed icons just dont make sense. Too much color, very incoherent style and way too much detail that you cannot see anyways.
But I have not tried it, as I was too dumb that you need Javascript to have the payment download button work.
I use the La Capitaine icon pack because I agree, the default icons are pretty meh
Very cool and unique iconset!
Debian with the Awesome WM. I'm biased because that's what I use.
Elementary has some very clean sober themes. I fell in the tilling windows craze and ricing so I'm sporting an Arch (I use it btw) with AwesomeWM, so very minimalistic.
Current distributions, I like EndeavourOS sway edition and Window Maker Live (wmlive).
Historically, I liked HP-UX and OpenSolaris with Gnome and the Nimbus theme. Linux Mint Darnya was nice. So was OpenSUSE 9.3 I think with Gnome and its custom launcher. Red Hat Enterprise Linux / Scientific Linux 6 was nice looking. We went a couple of years without CentOS so everyone used SL6.
It's dead now, but Apricity was the first distro I really enjoyed the look of. Now I know better than to care about out of box appearance.
I like simple default, so it is easier to customize. But If I have to keep the default I would say Garuda.
Nitrux looks pretty nice
Manjaro Sway
