Linux

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 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year 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.

  • Arch
  • Hyprland
  • Lots of dracula

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

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

It looks nice. I still prefer the functionality and responsiveness of Linux though, and I didn't clone every feature of the macOS UI.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 year 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.

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

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