    For whatever reason I just don’t like the glass. I can see what people like about it. Mostly for me, I think it does look like plastic and it feels cheap. Which is weird cause I didn’t mind Windows Vista when it released.

    Office was ugly as all hell during these days, and everyone seemed to want to copy that “shine” the glass had and they sprinkled it on everything.

    In the end, I never really grew attached to the design choices I grew up with, its not like XP was pretty either.

    Nowadays Linux has made me a snob. If I can’t customize everything I get upsetti.

      Lmao I’m in the same boat. Accidentally fell down the ricing rabbit hole, lived out of tiling window managers for a bit, and now I’m in gnome since it finally seems to be on par with my rose tinted memories of unity. I appreciate the reply, different strokes for different folks. If you don’t mind me asking, what sort of aesthetic do you go for with your Linux config? Is it more of a matte, or something different?

        I have a post on unixporn, if you have anything you think is cool and want to share thats a cool place. I’m new to it. I make everything some form of vaporwave/synthwave/outrun color schemes. I do have slight transparency in my terminal background. I’m constantly switching between rounded and sharp borders. I wouldnt say I’m the most picky as I am still forced to use windows at work, but I’m thinking about trying a fresh install again on my desktop and then I’ll truly see what I like and what I can do.
