    If someone wrote a Linux theme that could replicate Windows Aero, I would install it without a second thought.

    The B00merang Project has gotten most of the theme components mostly down, but without Aero it’s just not worth tweaking to get everything right.

    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.
