Can any /g/anons tell me which version of Linux allows me to make an exact copy of Windows 7 aesthetic/UI-wise?

Linux users don't usually want anything to do with Windows, so I'll think you'll struggle to find anything that meets your needs.

The closest you can get is Linux Mint, and it's shit. I'd suggest either sticking to Windows, using a Linux distro and virtualizing Windows, or just learning to deal with how shit Linux GUIs are (except windowmaker, windowmaker is pretty based)

KDE Plasma has some cool themes but the theme store is kind of a mess, also global themes could contain malicious scripts so you have to be careful. Kubuntu is a decent stable KDE distro, but it comes with some non-ideal defaults. You'd wanna remove the Firefox snap and install the official deb from Mozilla, and you'd want to install flatpak too.

I found this:

Have not tried or read up on this, so use at your own risk.

Seconded. Though the incompatible nVidia drivers are making me consider switching to Devuan.

No, it auto updates, which sometimes leads to broken files, in which it fucked up my audio drivers making my laptop only play my built in microphone, and all it did until I installed a different distro was a feedback loop from hell, putting Merzbow to shame.

Mint does not auto update and it explicitly tells you to make snapshots using Timeshift so you can roll back.

Yes, and it still was corrupt after rolling back.

So your Mint not only auto-updates when it shouldn't but it also has a broken Timeshift. It must really hate you, huh?

Been a while since I've used Zorin. I remember 10 years ago it had a UI that closely resembled Windows 7. Does it still have that?

you could install windows 7. Or windows 8/10 with classic shell.
