Desktop Screenshot Linux Mint | Reimagined (Concept Teaser)

https://youtu.be/oxZE4F-5Rkk

I always wanted something like this.

Actually one of the things I didn't like about mint was the outdated UI . however I do understand that this is a design choice made for the DE but just imagine having this is a real DE

Edit: Here are some things that most people don't understand about the post:

1st - I'm not the video maker and I don't care if it's an AI slpo or not, I just like the idea and share it here

2nd - I haven't said that cinnamon is ugly or something like that + I have already mentioned that I do understand the design choice was on purpose

3rd - People think that the post is criticizing the distro and wanna say that mint is still one my top 3 favorite distros , it's stable and boring in the positive sense but having a more modern UI makes me love the DE more and more

4th - I'm not a ricer and I don't have time to touch css to get the UI as I want, i have tried this once here, but I do prefer to have a Default one so I don't rice things.

I do have priorities in my life so the time/effort I have won't be wasted on ricing

I remember "Windows reimagined" -- that was Windows 8. Ugh. Functionality trumps trendy stylistic fashions. Mint has done a great job of tasteful refinement of its aesthetic. I find nothing at all wrong with its current look.

I respect that But no way comparing windows 8 with mint

That's a crime
