Would it be possible to have a linux DE with that high quality like macOS? The last 3 years i did a lot of distro hopping. Im really Happy with gnome and ubuntu now ( reason was the rocm Installation script for my 7900xtx). Currently i donate whenever i use a Software more frequent. So i also would pay for a such good Look like on an iMac from my wife. Currently i use 4k Resolution and coloring settings with my spyder color camera.

    Ahh good hint. Not polished. Windows could be more beautyful for example.

        for example the corner on the left. Buttons somehow look better. macOS gives the the feeling of sharpnes. Im so sorry its so difficult for me to discripe it.

          yes, i get it. it’s sort of a thing that my brain can’t describe either, but want to hear someone go about it continuously to get it better.

            It’s transparency and blur, gnome favors performance over looks (not that it looks bad), you can get the same look on gnome if u theme it

          I’m still unsure if you mean sharp as in clear, crisp high resolution / not pixelated / not blurry or “better” design / ui(x).

          If the first check (fractional) scaling settings / font anti aliasing / smoothing options (I don’t use Gnome so don’t know where), if the latter, one is a small team of probably underpaid devs (Gnome), the other one of the wealthiest companies in the world (Apple) so I’d sure hope Apple’s UI is “better” than Gnome’s (though looking at Windows it doesn’t seem like having money equals good design, lol).

          Part of using GNOME (at least to me) is expanding on the interface and building a personal experience through extensions.

          Cover-flow when and-tabbing? Extension. Dynamic opacity of top bar? Extension. Wiggly-wobbly effects when dragging or minimising/maximising windows? Extension. Installing custom themes? Guess what, that’s an extension too!

          I think you understand where this is going.

          In terms of polish (looking sharp), GNOME is the best on linux, still it can look much better in terms of eye candy if you add extensions. I think I have like 50+ extensions myself.

            Alright. Let’s have it. What’s the extensions that enhance the look of Gnome, propelling it into eye-candy heaven?
