This is the ideal UI

This is the ideal UI. You may not like it, but this is what peak OS design looks like.

You're right. I don't like it, but it truly was peak performance.

still in alpha oh boy. I

minimal and functional. it was great for its time. I couldn't see myself using it now.

Ubuntu 16.04 (Unity) (customized with numix icons and theme and Helvetica, not the Ubuntu font which I hate) is my all time favorite and what I could see using for the rest of my life.

When it comes to human interaction, it's faster because it understands you better. It had professional design and was made with empathy.

True peak OS design right here.

Windows NT4 was even better IMO. In win2k it had already started to bloat a bit.

If I could have the NT4 UI on a modern kernel I'd be happy.

Gradients are web 2.0 shit and are dated to the mid-2000s for me. Windows XP was good for its time but I like Windows 2000 right now and I think Windows XP is dated right now.

Ubuntu 16.04 and 8.04 are my all time favorites.

iOS 4 was my favorite. I don't like the direction iOS or Android went in. I don't care as much about what kind of phone I have and its UX right now. I used to do a lot of browsing and internet on the phone, now I'm doing it on my laptop again and my phone's just for calls.

The most important thing for phone (and laptop, though this is less important here) UX is uniform icons, preferably designed by one entity, with a list of standard guidelines applying to all of them. In my Windows taskbar right now, there's Explorer, Firefox, foobar2000, LibreOffice, and Notepad icons with all of them having different design standards. Explorer's icon is flat design, Firefox is gradient, Foobar2000 is monochrome/minimal, LibreOffice is rounded corners, Notepad's is glassy/transparent. Along with the flat taskbar itself with Cortana and the mic icon. I use Windows to play games which at least have their UX made by one company with a standard design. I may or may not go back to Ubuntu if I want, I've tried a lot of distros and Ubuntu was my favorite. It's slick, smooth, and crisp. Don't tell me I'm wrong or I should do something else, I didn't post this to read those kinds of replies.

NT4 had the 95 UI, which looks like shit compared to 2000/ME's.

Also it was missing so many basic OS features...

You can't get shit without a colonel, bitchface.

Nice try but the pillow shading and curves ruin it.

when will windows drop flat design?
any sign on what could replace it?

God it's so beautiful, has anyone had any luck ricing a machine to look like this?

Dunno about on Linux, but ReactOS looks like this, tho it's still in alpha.

The problem with UX as I see it is the desire to appeal to the lower common denominator.

This will be solved when AI is developed, which will give people custom design for cheap. Futurists are saying that this will happen in 30 years.

I've been getting really into i3, but the only thing I don't like is if you stay in tiling mode, windows take up the whole screen. I'd often only have one or two windows open, and don't want them taking up the whole screen.
Also, I don't know how to register some windows as popup type windows.
Other than that, in my opinion, i3 is the ideal desktop UI.

>Linux had the opportunity to actually innovate on the desktop paradigm
>everyone decided to make copies of the old Windows UI except each copy is slightly different so you get all the inconveniences and none of the consistency
>also spinning cubes whoa

what's your cool desktop paradigm innovation?

Not him but the IRIX desktop was literal perfection, and the Haiku OS desktop is a close second. Even to this day, we don't have any desktop that fully rips off the IRIX look. MaXX Interactive was a cheap fork of 4DWM and some images slapped together and rebranded. Little things like scroll wheels to zoom in and out in the file manager, a 3D file explorer, NeXTStep-like tiles for minimized icons, the toolchest, and the good old Motif look made the best OS I've ever used. To this day there's no emulator that can boot it, and all of my SGI hardware is around 20 years old and failing.

At least there's Haiku OS. I use that all the time for text editing and shitposting. Love the window management.

how would you describe the look.style of that? especially the icons

Indigo Magic wasn't really that innovative though, pretty much the same Win3.x/2.x-style paradigm but with some Macintosh-like enhancements thrown in all in a nice spin on Motif.

I can't say it wouldn't be nice to see what a truly modern take on that interface would have looked like, though.

Skeuomorphism with extra shit taste added for flavor.

bspwm has pseudo-tiled state which is bretty neato. Centers the window over the tile region rather than stretching it.

you can try CDE for a real genuine Unix GUI...

sourceforge.net/p/cdesktopenv/wiki/LinuxBuild/

>CDE
Very comfy, but horrible to actually use. It's so archaic that I stopped using it because it's just so old and incompatible with even modern image formats like png for icons.

that's true it's really odd by modern standards.

as for icons, i resorted to use windows 95 icons, modern themes don't really fit in. if you want custom icons then you have to draw them one by one lol.

but there are some really cool features besides its looks, such as an application GUI builder so you can easily develop your own tools with motif GUIs, that's funnier than just using scripts from a terminal.

but yeah the windows management is ancient and not very practical. (I use xfce most of the time but i like to fiddle with other DEs just for fun).

Original Macintosh had amazing UI. Look at how simple and appealing this Apple II emulator is

Better throw your degree in the nearest trash can. One should use "bigger", not "more big", an English major should know that.

Even the UI looks like shit. Where's the pixel art?

But there should be visuals that improve the efficiency of the computer user.

It is.

Sure. But 4k packages are just for madman

Yet nobody comes to 100% replica of Win95 DE.
They come close, but not 100%.
And many things in Linux world are wrong because of monopolistic attitude to the whole Linux world of GTK maintainers.
Given that they don't use Linux at all, I wonder how these people didn't fall into irrelevance.
"Thanks" to "Daddy Stallman", I guess.
