SuSE, openSUSE "In conclusion? I'm going to stick with it. It really is impressive with a great set of software installed by default (taking away perhaps a lot of my need for massive repos), nice touches like the new menu and use of Gnome control center etc." More here.

Looking at screenshots, it's just plain ugly. Small bad antialiased fonts, 2D amateur-looking icons, big buttons. It's probably good OS under the hood, but professional operating system should not look like this in 21 century.

Sure it's easy to tweak font settings etc. But: Defaults do matter. Do you really expect Joe User to want to fiddle with the settings? No, Joe User expects things to work - and to look good. The openSUSE defaults don't look as good as they could with appr. 2 minutes more work.

Beauty in only skin deep.

I still crave for the CDE look. Used to love xfce till they made it gnome-like.

Incidentally, which distro has the "best" look for the desktop?

Just curious!
