Where should I start with UIs?
Hello all!
I used to play in vanilla WoW, like right when blood elves came onto the scene. I quit, and now picked it up with legion. Wow, WoW is crazy now. I am watching a youtube video. https://youtu.be/zW4XhlHGBzo?t=18s and he says LUI is a good interface. Well, I have no clue what's what. I have no idea how to avoid viruses. I feel guilty moving away from the main interface. Please help! Thank you! |

Generally, its impossible to get a virus using a normal WoW AddOn. The nature of WoW isolates AddOns so the most damage they can do is eat an excessive amount of RAM and CPU cycles however even that is not a much of an issue unless you are running WoW on a marginal machine. The main way you would get malware related to WoW is if you run some kind of executable code (WoW AddOns should not contain executable code otherwise they get rejected by the mainstream UI sites) downloaded from some dodgy site or via a site taking advantage of unpatched exploits in your browser, Flash player or JRE (Java). Those are mostly avoidable by keeping your system updated and fully patched.
WoWInterface and the Curse family of sites (Curse and WoWAce) are quite vigilant when comes to keeping nasties out of their system. TukUI (home of TukUI and ElvUI) also keep their sites cleaned up as well As far as good UIs to start with, LUI is a good choice, same thing with RealUI. TukUI and ElvUI are quite popular as well with many UIs using either of those two as a base. |

Hi,
Personally I'd recommend starting off with Elv UI, it's so easy to configure and you can configure almost everything, most interfaces that you see on here use that as the core. Personally don't think you can go wrong with that. Throw a few stand-alone addons with it and you'll be up and running in no time! - Imerzion |

Still, these sites are good at keeping this kind of code out, ignoring the potential of what addon code can still do belittles the effort made to keep users safe. |

Ansi compilation is really good. Minimalistic.

I like minimalism, I will try it out!
