From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I'm 23 and I cannot bear huge margins and rounded corners. They are ugly as hell, and the margins even take away a lot of usable space. I don't want to use a 7" phone just because of this shit.
When I started using Android (~7 years ago) the actual Material design was the thing. I liked it, and that is what I still like on mobile. Also it's clearly better than what was before that.
There were rounded corners, but they had a tasteful radius (2-3 dp in Android units), which I even liked more (and still do) than zero. Anything called "Material" after that is a lie, though, those have nothing to do with it, and mAtErIaL yOu is definitely not me; I read changelogs when updating apps, when I see there it seriously turns me down, and in cases I haven't updated ever since, because the app works totally fine in the last version that is not the ugliest thing I have seen.
I did not use the internet much in the early 2000s, but if I could I would much rather choose that design, even on my 5" phone, than today's rounded corners and huge margins.
