   I suppose that's it. I think I got an overdose of "minimalistic design"   
   after eight years of Windows 10 and seven years of LXDE/IceWM.   
      
   Windows Aero was always pleasing to the eye in my opinion. Unity was just   
   too slow when I tried using it back then (and it crashed my non-free   
   NVIDIA driver too! Damn NVIDIA...).

   I've seen nice Cinnamon screenshots here and there but I don't know if   
   they can accomplish a complete skeuomorphic "3D" interface. My guess is   
   that it can probably do at least as much as Unity, if not better...   
      
   I guess I'll take a closer look.
