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.

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.

It kinda makes sense to me; my KDE desktop is basically set up like Windows in terms of layout (not theming). It's what I'm used to and prefer the familiarity.

I can imagine people who are used to MacOS like the familiarity of GUI layout and the aesthetics too. Also in fairness to Apple, it is an aesthetically pleasing desktop even if the layout and GUI elements (such as the dock or the top menu bar) isn't what I like.
