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)

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.

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.

Mint Cinnamon with a few tweaks.

Nice, that looks really cool. And that screen is huge, or at a tiny scale.

TY, and yes, it's a 1440p ulrawide, 34 inch.

I didn't want to post an even larger picture with, like, just my desktop, then with windows and neofetch and whatever because it'd be even larger, but there is a pretty cool detail in that my terminal is set to the exact same color and transparency as the panel so it matches beautifully when open. I kinda wish I could do the same thing with Nemo and Xed.

Custom OpenBox and tint2 setup.

I am a simple person, GNOME on Fedora 39 with AppIndicator extension and I haven't even changed the desktop background (though other times I have used Bliss as my background)

Can you actually use Microsoft Office and Google Messages, or are those just custom icons for other apps?

Btw, you're one of the only people with as many apps in their screenshot as me, lol.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

lol

They're custom icons for Libre Office Write and Libre Office Calc. No MS Office here! Google Messages works perfectly as an official web app.

I have a folder where I dump any interesting wallpaper I find, and it rotates every few seconds, so this is already inaccurate... :)

No, I normally don't use emacs as browser.

  • 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 :)

That is a really beautiful wallpaper

KDE Plasma on Manjaro Linux

  • Desktop folder pinned to left screen for working stuff
  • Conky on my 3rd screen for monitoring resources
  • Plasma Activity folder on 3rd screen for general folders used often (On Gaming and Video Recording activities this folder differs for those activities)
  • Golobonotes pinned notes on 3rd screen fore commonly accessed references

do you feel weird using logos for an OS you're not using? Like, I'd find it weird to use Manjaro's logo on my KDE Neon desktop. Maybe I'm just a stickler for da roolz

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

I would use a GNOME logo, but I like the puzzled looks I get too much :)

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago (5 children)

I'm basic...

Fedora Kinoite, Plasma desktop, Arc shell theme, and Catppuccin window/app theme.

I included more information about my setup on my Codeberg page.
