Kudos! It actually looks great and polished. Also, an ubiquitous UI mimicking the MacOSX aesthetics and usage of larger padding actually is nice due to the new high resolution monitors we see everywhere these days.

The stock people photos are a bit odd, I never saw anyone have photos open on their desktop/laptop ever.

That being said, very nice and clean design.

Also, I would say ignore all the naysayers here, the fetishising of the complex sharp and dense UI is a nostalgic reaction common among hardcore tech people who would love to live in the terminal, but alienates the other 99% population of the globe would prefer a clean ui and access to their applications with nice icons. There is a reason why all OSS suffer from extremely bad UI/UX, because what ordinary people like(simple and clean UI with nice icons and descriptive texts) is immensely different from what tech people like(mostly 200+ magic keyboard shortcuts and arcane ways of starting apps from mysterious console).
