Please never use OS X clones.

But you're right that Linux stopped being ugly. Even in Tiling WMs, we're pretty beautiful now. My windows now have the same gaussian blur and shadow abilities as on Mac OS X, thanks to Compton. My status bar has beautiful text set by Pango and rendered by Cairo. My text rendering is as good (or better than, against transparency) in OSX, thanks to the Infinality patchsets.

Really, it's only ugly if you do it wrong. One way of getting it wrong is to try and imitate OS X.

I agree, but I realize not everyone else does.

Same goes for Windows.

You can make Linux look like anything you want. If what you want is a clone of your old OS, well, I can't help your aesthetic taste, but I can at least make you happy.

But it's not even clone, it's just awkward.
