    Its absolutely ugly and has a very non modern interface, anyone who tries it as their first OS will probrally be convinced Linux is stuck in 2005. Tbh Fedora should be considered the default these days.

      What even is this comment lol

      Fedora is a distro, not a desktop environment. Your desktop environment is going to dramatically change your look and feel of your OS.

      I don’t know how anyone can say windows 11 with all its ads and basically the same UI as windows XP from 2000 “looks better” than something like hyprland, i3, KDE, or gnome.

        I don’t agree with them but I also disagree that 11 looks like XP. they are very far from each other. XP looked better even. I’m not joking.

          I guess I should clarify that it’s mechanically the same operating system for over 20 years.

          Keybinds on tiling window managers was such a game changer of how I daily use my operating system that now I never want to go back to the traditional method.

          And yes there’s a fresh coat on things like file explorer or various programs but win11 compared to win10 is basically the same thing with no innovation, just more ads, telemetry, spyware, etc.

          We still have windows 7 PCs in the shop at work and it looks the same to me as my work windows 11 laptop.

          I’m sure I’m preaching to the choir on the fediverse haha

      Windows interface is also stuck in 2005, and the evidence suggests most people prefer that. Many people claim they want modern interfaces, but then people get literally angry whenever Microsoft tries to update it and almost nobody ever uses any of the “modern” features they add. Mint is a perfectly fine choice for most people, who are perfectly happy to be stuck in 2005.

      As far as I know Mint and Fedora have the same choice of Desktop Environment more or less, I’m really curious to know what you refer to when you say “modeen interface”
