From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Ahh good hint. Not polished. Windows could be more beautyful for example.
@[email protected] i get what you saying. but as i lack experience with distros i find it interesting. can you add a few more examples of polished like how?
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
