It’s very interesting to customize and extend a Linux distribution to meet your needs. Whether it’s Ubuntu or Fedora, there are a variety of tools to customize the Linux desktop.
However, there are plenty of Linux distributions out there that don’t require any customization and are quite impressive. Their developers made them look great after installation without further customization.
Now that we’ve compiled a list of the most beautiful Linux distributions you can try right now to refresh your computer’s visual appearance.
The most beautiful Linux distributions of 2022

The first Linux distribution introduced was Zorin OS. Zorin OS uses the GNOME-based Zorin desktop, ideal for new users looking for a beautiful desktop and productivity.

elementary OS is great for users new to the Linux world from macOS, as they’ll find many familiar things like gestures and window styles.
However, there are many places in elementary OS that cannot be customized through the settings menu, and can only be further customized by external script commands. However, the default desktop of the system is already very beautiful and can meet the needs of most people.
The most distinctive feature of elementary OS is its well-designed app store. The app store offers a variety of categories of apps, especially those tailored for elementary OS that are beautiful and powerful.

The bottom layer of CutefishOS is built on the Qt and KDE frameworks. This efficient Linux distribution with Cutefish desktop provides global menu functionality on top.
As it is currently in development, the customization option is still in the works. But in the latest release, CutefishOS already supports options like dark mode, accent color, animation effects, docking position (left, right, bottom).

- Linux Mint Cinnamon Edition
We recommend Linux Mint because it is very clean, beautiful and stable. It is one of the most widely used and famous Linux distributions out there, perhaps only after Ubuntu. But compared to the other Linux distributions on this list, it doesn’t look very polished.
However, if you like a classic user desktop that looks great, the default Cinnamon desktop looks clean and flawless.
Linux Mint Cinnamon Edition is very friendly to all users, especially those who are using Linux for the first time or switching from Windows to Linux. Its default look and feel and Mint’s green color palette are refreshing.
If you’re not sure which Linux distribution to use is both stable and eye-catching, don’t hesitate to choose Linux Mint Cinnamon Edition.
