getting my new laptop today. Thinkpad X1 Yoga (2nd Gen). Can you guess the first thing I'll do?

if you guessed "install a Linux distro" you guessed right. I'm looking to try something new; I'm a sucker for dank animations and polished UI/UX. suggestions?

nb4 "use arch"... no.

looking at maybe Ubuntu Budgie

a distro all about the look

Obligatory "use Arch" comment

Kde neon

What about Deepin Linux?

@irene he/she meant inb4 (in before X)

'UI/UX' You want a distro or a window manager recommandation?

I use debian with cinnamon. Thought about awesome, but I'm still not ready. Its a situation like with vim for me :)

@irene @mishaor yeah, I meant "inb4"

@lucadev oooh never heard of that before, just looked it up, looks dank 😎

Elementary OS is the only thing that doesn't look and feel like it was built in the 80's by someone who never actually used a graphical interface in their life.

@ihatecomputers good description 😎

@ihatecomputers I've used elementary OS. I wanna try something new.

@lucadev I think I'm gonna try out deepin Linux 😎

Pop!_OS is really nice theme. It’s just Ubuntu, but they put a lot of time into a nice UI/UX

@Haxk20 I've tried antergos before, couldn't get it to install properly

@irene it would just get stuck at 10% on the install screen for me. I left it overnight and it was still at 10%.

elementary OS. Best UI/UX out there. Perfect use of animations. A pleasure to work with.

@aggelalex @ihatecomputers does Elementary OS have a native dark theme yet? 😎

@mjones44 Yes, since Loki, although to enable it globally you have to install elementary-tweaks (through a ppa) and enable it through settings -> tweaks. It looks real good and is applied globally. elementary also has a nightlight feature which I adore.

There's my app featuring on AppCenter too! :)

@aggelalex I might give Elementary OS another try then. I'm currently on Ubuntu Budgie but it has intermittent issues connecting to WiFi.
