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.

I like the aero aesthetic tbh, especially the vista rendition.
It's heavy on GPU for sure; but it manages to pull off a relatively consistent look (or at least more consistent than anything that came after)
GPUs nowadays are orders of magnitude better than the ones during the era of Vista.
I see no reason why we can't have Aero everywhere, even on systems with integrated graphics.
