Be more clear in the future faggot. What kind of "beauty" are you looking for? If it's how well it works, the Opus codec is pretty good - they managed to make it have better compression than MP3 or Vorbis, while taking very little CPU power to use. I haven't looked at the code and can't speak for its quality though.
Code quality-wise, I'd have to say that both libcURL and the core parts of the Linux kernel (the shit that Linus wrote) look pretty good and is very easy to understand - I still follow the old Linux kernel coding style to this day because it makes code very clear and easy to read.

DWM is amazing. A simple, yet powerful tool, written in a clear and concise manner, so it's easy to modify it and add/remove features if needed.

bspwm and sxhkd. Really what the UNIX philosophy is about (unlike most of UNIX itself).

Qubes.
Despite dom0 being Fedora-based and therefore having systemd and other bloat, it does a great job of making compartmentisation simple and convenient.

Doesn't help when the hypervisor is filled with backdoors.
Just use multiple computers. One for browsing/gaming, and the other for important shit.

I think well-written Forth code is beautiful. and as an OS and language, Forth is a joy to work with. my biggest tech regret is not setting up a workstation for natively booting colorForth in the early-mid 2000s.

We've been engineering software for lifetimes. Why aren't there any obvious widely-known examples yet?

I have not read the code for these, but could someone try and refute these suggestions:
