You're not gonna like 2017 Linux then. The superflat, super-trendy themes have the most users and are pretty much the only ones that see regular updates. Which are required because tl;dr GTK3.

Vertex and -- honest to God! -- a Win 3.x lookalike are virtually the only decent alternatives that work for more than six months.

GTK3's Adwaita (default theme) is not flat. Sure, you can download misc flat themes, but the default is not.

It's also needlessly frickin' huge. It's worse than Industrial (oh, the memories...). It's like it was designed for touch screens and tablets, not monitors and real computers.

Someone built a "smaller" version a while ago, but it hasn't been updated, so it no longer works on recent GTK versions.
