From reading the comments, this is something related to star trek, but for people who've never watched the show, what is it?

LCARS is the name for the fictional user interface from the next generation era of star trek shows. There were 3 shows set during this era with 7 seasons each airing from the late 80s to the early 2000s. So there's a lot of star trek content featuring this design aesthetic which makes it popular among fans.

Memory Alpha has a pretty good article explaining the Library Computer Access and Retrieval System (LCARS).

It’s marginally better if you say you’re a child. Cancer-lite if you will.

Wikia used to be so good.

Does anyone know of a place where one could find a “big” selection of LCARS designes?

Touch screen in the doorbell... What's next? A doorbell that requires a mobile app to use?

“I’m thinking about my doorbell, when are you gonna ring it, when are you gonna ring it?”
