As advanced as this might be technically - visually it looks horrible. Do they don't have designer?

To me this is strikingly beautiful, compared to gnome and kde overkilled interface

Even the wallpaper is ugly and looks like some 00s renders.

IMO, no thanks.

When designers moved into Gnome and KDE, they effectively crapified.

I'll contend that they need "good" designers. And maybe not a team.

Sometimes the result of one opinionated designer far exceeds the democratic team model (which tends to rely on the charisma of one vs. vision and skill).

I think those types of designers tend not to get too interested in design entire OS interfaces, however.
