C0D4681467yI’m with @liammartens
If you want something linux based that has a beautiful UI then deepin is the way to go. -
If it's about the Desktop, you shouldn't switch the Distro, but the Desktop Environment. Check out the following ones:
1. xfce (also my choice)
2. mate
3. kde
4. gnome
5. lxde or lxqt
6. budgy
7. cinnamon -
vlad1277y@binop #1, 3, 5 are the ugly / cumbersome ones from what I remember. I wouldn't mind it on a desktop maybe, but not on a MacBook- will look at the others
Need help/advise: ๐ป Anyone's experience with Linux on MacBooks - I've had a lot of tried, including Arch, Ubuntu, Cent and probably more I can't remember.
๐ดThe issue is always the Desktop manager / UI / Window manager: either it's too ๐น ugly, or too heavy(read Ubuntu default).
Want to find the ultimate compromise with reasonable support for hardware, yet with high usability.
Things like multi-touch gestures are a bonus๐ฅ(I know there's extra bins I can install for that)
I don't mind something more to configure, but would rather stick with apt-get and similar rather than having to manually build everything ๐
As you probably understood by now - I need something close to MacOS yet Linux based ๐
