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 10 months ago* (last edited 10 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.

More or less replicated the desktop layout I had used throughout childhood, sans desktop icons

  • Debian 12 stable
  • XFCE + Chicago95
  • Chicago95 black cursors
  • Helvetica bitmap font
  • Not shown: wdm login and slock screen locker
  • Running on an X230T with classic keyboard mod to complete the look

  • NixOS
  • Hyprland
  • Waybar
  • Dracula

Pretty close to default. Using SF Compact Display fonts and Newaita reborn icons. Most of the time I have a bunch of windows open and I rarely see the desktop, except when I start the day :)

I use gnome with dash-to-panel. I can't do docks or top bars.

At this point you might go for a hackintosh.

I've been running stock Pop!_OS for quite a while now. The only thing I've done is pin the dock to the left side of the screen.

By the way, I see Toto coming up on your playlist!

I have a custom animated shader as my desktop background

Currently, I have 3 DEs installed that I use regularly. Cinnamon, i3, and Unity. Cinnamon is for retro themes, and Unity is for a modern mac look after tweaks. and i3 is just nerd porn

Debian with KDE. I've had this set up on my laptop for a few weeks to see how well Debian stable would work as a daily driver with Flatpaks and/or Nix packages mixed in. I'm really liking it so far, so I'll probably migrate my desktop over to a pretty similar set up soon. Right now it looks pretty similar visually, but is running Fedora 39.

I'm on pop os with gnome but using dash-to-panel to get a more classic Taskbar look. I love that extension and seems extremely well supported even across upgrades, it's so good I donated. Maybe I'll add a screenie later.

As for op's pic, I understand liking a particular setup, but to use their proprietary icons too seems strange to me. To each their own, I guess. I thought it was literally a mac on a Linux /c.
