Why is gnome not so sharp like macOS?
Why is gnome not so sharp like macOS?
Would it be possible to have a linux DE with that high quality like macOS? The last 3 years i did a lot of distro hopping. Im really Happy with gnome and ubuntu now ( reason was the rocm Installation script for my 7900xtx). Currently i donate whenever i use a Software more frequent. So i also would pay for a such good Look like on an iMac from my wife. Currently i use 4k Resolution and coloring settings with my spyder color camera.
Because it's not Plasma 6.
If you want a nice looking distro with some interesting features try Nitrux: nxos.org
immutable. So, no, sorry.
What speaks against immutable? Had bazzite for gaming for a while that was realy nice.
Because Linux doesnt compete with MacOS? Linux doesnt compete against any other OS because unlike Windows or MacOS, Linux isnt owned by a for-profit organization (Linux doesnt have something to sell). Gnome is driven by community efforts to polish a community maintained set of tools, I would say theyve done a very good job.
Indeed great work!
Have you tried theming gnome? There's a ton of videos on youtube if you're a beginner, i wonder if you'll have the same thoughts after theming it
As others have said, it is not entirely clear what you mean by sharp. Based on the rounded corner and button example you gave previously, I think it might just be the graphic design. MacOS has had a lot of time invested into its design language including subtle things like a thin, almost glass-like specular border around windows and then a drop shadow. This very much becomes a matter of taste in many cases, but for some it helps identify boundaries more precisely. Perhaps have a look at https://github.com/vinceliuice/WhiteSur-gtk-theme, which replicates MacOS as closely as possible. You may be able to experiment with it side by side and see if you can figure out exactly what design element it is that you are looking for.
I find Gnome smoother than macOS.
This wasn't the case many years ago, but now I find Gnome pretty good, the amount of bugs are surprisingly low.
On the other hand, I experience glitches on macOS regularly on the UI, especially on a multi-monitor setup (I use both Gnome and macOS with multiple monitors).
And generally feature-wise I find Gnome a lot more convenient to use in terms of window or workspace management.

Multi monitor and window tiling on Mac are so bad, they should be embarrassed.
You have to click to switch monitors but if you do it twice it registers as a double click so you have to click....wait...then click again.
Sometimes you can drag windows from one screen to the other and other times they just...disappear as you drag then across.
You can't close anything from the window buttons and the red and yellow buttons do the same thing. You have to go into the taskbar and right click to close them.
Then they took the time in Sequoia to add window tiling but it's just such an awful experience. You have to hover over the green dot and wait for the prompt to popup and choose from a drop-down menu. WHY CAN'T YOU JUST DRAG AND DROP!?
Gnome is just as beautiful as MacOS. The only difference is that MacOS is colorful, while Gnome is more b&w in its design. In fact, I'd say that gnome is more modern than macOS in its overall design philosophy. So modern, that some people hate it, lol. But modern nonetheless.
I recently started using the openbar extension which adds a lot of color to Gnome with just a few clicks.
I love Gnomes design btw. My second favorite after Android.
Sharp as, it looks blurry or sharp as, its not polished?
Ahh good hint. Not polished. Windows could be more beautyful for example.
@[email protected] i get what you saying. but as i lack experience with distros i find it interesting. can you add a few more examples of polished like how?
KDE Plasma may be a lot more customizable than Gnome, so you might be able to find something more like what you are looking for there. I would do a web search for varied examples if I were you.
You could search for more Gnome examples too. I believe Gnome requires more in the way of plugins for customization, so you might have to seek out examples of gnome plugins that customize look and feel or window styling. I'm just speculating here, I don't really know Gnome very well.
Are you using fractional scaling?
No.
You won't get the same united look in Gnome as in mac OS. Applications will look a bit different and not exactly the same.
I think you get used to it though. I don't think about it at all anymore.
Not really true if you just stick to modern GTK apps. Almost always if you find a program for a specific purpose using Qt (KDE graphical framework) someone's make a program for the exact same function. Is it basically pointless other than keeping theming and style consistent? Yes, but that's enough for me unless there truly is an essential function missing. Basically the only Qt application I use is Strawberry Music Player because it's extremely featureful.
And then there's kvantum.
Depends on the usage though. While I prefer GTK over Qt as well, for me there are no GTK alternatives for Krita, Kate and Ghostwriter.
Consider adding the Dash To Panel extension. It was the polish Gnome was missing for me: https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/1160/dash-to-panel/
I'd also be a bit remiss if I didn't recommended WinTile, too: https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/1723/wintile-windows-10-window-tiling-for-gnome/
Great thanks!
