I don't super love the icons tbh but I'm having a hard time finding a lighter pink that matches my theme.

Very cute desktop “ass_destroyer”

You should see how silly it looks using my catppuccin-latte themed Spotify to play "Fucked with a Knife" by Cannibal Corpse lmao

It’s good, it makes you less predictable and thus more dangerous that’s big brain

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Dangerous? Me? Hehehe! :3

This is so pink, I turned into a drag queen

Aww come on, you know you want to be fabulous too! :P

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Oh, honey child! You ain't seen fabulous until you've seen my sasquatch lookin' ass in high heels and a little black gown.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Being ASAB (assigned sasquatch at birth) myself, I feel your pain >.<;

it looks really pretty but my eyes are on fire lol

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

The burn means it's working! :P

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I had the same reaction to light themes but had to use a light theme because on dark themes I found the text hard to read. Then I lowered my screen brightness and no more burning eyes with light themes lol.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

Thank you, I really enjoy that theme @[email protected]

I think the terminal should be in light mode tho to match the rest

I just love 90% of the defaults for Linux mint. People crap on it for not being Wayland or cutting edge in every regard, but it just puts so much old school polish on it.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

I was super into the Wayland hype train when it was new -- back in the "wobbly windows" days to show my age a bit haha -- but at this point I don't actually see much benefit from an end user perspective. I am also a former XFCE user, so yeah...

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I get the arguments, but if the community or Linux wants to get larger market share everything should be done that is possible to make it so people never need to know about X11 or Wayland. Depends on the goals of the community of course.

I liken it to cars. I don't want to know the difference between a flat 4 and a V6 or an AWD and a 4 wheel. I want a car that gets me places without spying on me and being an unmaintainable pain. You are either a car person who wants to know a lot and do things yourself, or you just want something that works and you don't need to know a lot about. I myself straddling both worlds in Linux depending on the day.

The one thing I don’t like about Cinnamon is that it doesn’t play nicely with flatpak theming at all. KDE seems to apply themes over flatpaks with no problem no matter the distribution. If the Mint team built into Cinnamon desktop these theming capabilities, I’d use it over KDE all the time happily.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

To be fair, giving Flatpak access to the themes and icons folder, and setting the corresponding environment variables is done rather quickly.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Well the first problem is figuring out why you're using flatpack over native apps.

What distros offer Cinnamon out-of-the-box?

[–] bloodninja 5 points 1 year ago
[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

I've been using Linux Mint for a long time but Fedora has a Cinnamon spin that's pretty good too. There's also Arch if you're up for the challenge lol

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

There's also Ubuntu Cinnamon and GeckoLinux (close derivative of openSUSE).

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Isn't Ubuntu Cinnamon basically Linux Mint without the nice things?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Yeah, I don't fully understand that one either.

I think, the only real advantage of Ubuntu Cinnamon over Mint is that you get non-LTS releases of Ubuntu. Mint can be quite out of data near the end of those 2 year cycles...

A more fitting terminal theme and it looks great
