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.

if you like the look of windows that is...
Hmm, I didn't explain myself so well apparently. The look of windows is "ok" but I like more consistency and simplicity, here I think linux distros shine.
But, this distro seems more "modern" and "flashy", I love new things and you don't see "cool & flashy" design often.
I'm more used to functional design (and I love it), but sometimes the "shiny" style is a welcoming change.
We've all been through the phase when we wanted 200 cool animations for a single window drag 😂
RIP Compiz
When I was a kid I had at least 20 cool effects for the basic stuff in the desktop... They were even well made, not gonna lie.
Functional design is the best, but that doesn't mean that the eyes doesn't want their parts
True :)
