From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Anti-consumer "features" yes, but I wouldn't call it ugly, I'd consider it rather pretty and polished...on the surface level anyways. Once you need to do anything even approaching "power user" or enterprise, however, the illusion shatters and then it's ugly
I have only used it a few times, on other people's machines, and I guess it's just a matter of preference, but I felt the user interface was too 'polished', it took forever to do stuff as everything has its own long transition, and the transparency makes it hard to see stuff, and there is like no padding, making it easier to misclick.
