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.

What does your desktop look like? (share.jackgreenearth.org)
submitted 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) by [email protected] to c/[email protected]
 

Here's mine. No inspiration at all taken from a certain California based company's OS ;p

I use:

  • Manjaro OS
  • GNOME desktop
  • WhiteSur icon theme (with a few icons changed in the desktop file)
  • WhiteSur GTK and shell theme
  • Bing wallpaper
  • net speed simplified
  • Logo Menu
  • Show Desktop
  • Top Bar Organiser (to move the time to the right)
  • Overview background

I apologise if I missed anything.

That's an odd aspect ratio for a phone. And I can't say I love the look of that DE.

[–] [email protected] 34 points 7 months ago (7 children)

It's a foldable, unfolded. And that's XFCE with a Windows 95 theme - there's plenty of fans of the classic 90's look, in fact, people have made an entire operating system around that aesthetic.

Day Theme Night Theme

Gnome + Dash to Dock + Arc Menu. Nothing too crazy.

That's running on a phone?

[–] [email protected] 14 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (1 children)

Yes! SXMO Arch with waybar. It's a great little device (if you're ready and able to jump thru some hoops).

[–] [email protected] 8 points 7 months ago

That's really cool

screenshot of my desktop. Pictured are two floating windows, both kitty, the left one is small, with pfetch just executed, the right one is bigger, with Neovim, open on src/Compositor.cpp from the Hyprland repo. At the top is a mostly default waybar. The wallpaper is a cute promotional wallpaper for Slime Rancher.

Stuff here is:

  • Hyprland: Window Manager
  • Waybar: Status bar
  • Kitty: Terminal
  • Neovim: Editor
  • swww: Wallpaper daemon (Image (archive.org link, scroll down) is a promotional wallpaper for Slime Rancher)

Workspace 3, which I actually use:

the same desktop, but two other, tiled, windows are open. The left one takes up more space. Again both Kitty, the left one with ncmpcpp open, and the right one with newsboat open.

Additional stuff here:

  • ncmpcpp: front-end for mpd (Music Player Daemon)
  • Newsboat: rss reader

The pretty wallpaper and Catppuccin Mocha theme terminal carry the looks quite a bit tbh.

I never understood why people make their linux distros look like mac

[–] [email protected] 13 points 7 months ago

The obvious answer is people who grew up using Macs tend to like the Ui and workflow.

Even though I've never enjoyed my times using MacOS, I'll still sell being able to perfectly clone it's desktop as a feature of Linux for those who do.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 7 months ago

Its looks fancy and feels nice. Its really just a theme so everything else works the same. Everyone has different things they like.

Just did a fresh install of EndeavourOS with KDE 6...still using the same theme I've been using on 5.27 for months. I call it 'Windows 7 but better'

And yes I deleted my last comment while figuring out how embedding images actually works >.>

Here's my weeb'd out set-up. KDE Plasma 6 with the Breeze Dark theme and a slideshow of animu wallpapers.

Edit: gah I forgot to mention my OS. At the risk of sounding like a meme... It's Arch.

If I ever started customizing my KDE Plasma, then that would be the last direction I'd ever go in.

Looks like this, 3 monitor setup

Image of a 3 monitor setup with Streets of Rage wallpaper across all 3 monitors.

GNOME 45.5 with only a few extensions. Most of the good ones break every time there's a new GNOME release anyway. I especially miss having the top bar on all monitors. Dash to Dock on the center monitor.

Mine, Fedora Atomic Budgie. Materia GTK Theme. Intended to keep the focus on my windows rather than my desktop or theme.

I despise Apple, but ngl this looks beautiful

[–] [email protected] 8 points 7 months ago

I also hate Apple, I just like parts of their UI. Other parts I don't like, like the long transitions on absolutely everything.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 7 months ago (3 children)

I use:

  • Arch linux
  • sway
  • i3status
  • 22 different wallpapers

  • OS: Manjaro
  • DE: KDE Plasma 5
  • Global: Scratchy
  • Plasma Style, Window Decorations, and Colors are customized and don't remember their sources, sorry
  • Icons: Colorful-Dark-Icons
  • Cursor: Breeze

I know there's a lot of defaults in here, but this has been my daily driver for 6 years now and been loving this setup
