The look of Linux has improved over the years but I'm still not
totally happy. I'm just not obsessed enough to try and improve it.<br>
One of the problems with changing the look is it can adversely
affect operation. Something as simple as a text box neing too small
for the font can be ruinous. <br>
Perhaps when we meet we should show off our cool looking and
functional desktops.<br>
<br>
I use Mint Mate' and Mint Cinnamon. They are both good but not
sublime.<br>

<p>KDE Plasma has improved the standard immensely since then. <br>

<p>The resource footprint is a lot smaller (among the best for a
major DE) and the eye candy so configurable you can make it look
like almost anything you want.</p>

<p>Perhaps because I just know after all these years how to do and
fix stuff with KDE/Plasma I don't really try anything else.<br>
Gnome just looks and feels awful. <br>
Tiling managers never worked for me in that I don't see the
benefit.<br>
And Win10? Well let's leave it there shall we. LOL</p>

Any web designers feel they can handle an FTP account?<br>

We've got PHP7 and MariaDB so WordPress or Joomla are
