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.
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.
Does it? Most people are spending all their time on their cell phone these days, and that's much closer to Gnome's UI. But yeah, anyone accustomed to windows will be better on Mint and cinnamon, however everyone else will be better off on Gnome.
This post literally about Windows 10, which is not on anyone's phone. That's the reason I'm making that specific recommendation.
