In here you can share your Linux desktop looks and showoff your customized Linux distro. Feel free to post your desktop looks! No one here is a judge.
Stay on topic: Only content related to making Linux look good. Themes, DE/WM setups, terminal aesthetics, icons, wallpapers, ricing tools — that’s what we’re here for.
If it's NSFW then tag NSFW: this includes explicit, sexual, or suggestive content, wallpapers, anime pinups, or anything borderline.
Linux only: This community is for Linux. No Windows/macOS setups. BSD is fine if it looks like a Linux setup and fits the vibe.
No spam or self-promotion: No affiliate links, crypto junk, or irrelevant plugs. If you’re sharing your own project (like a theme), make sure it’s actually useful and related.
Be respectful: No toxicity, trolling, or bad online attitude. This is a place to appreciate, not tear people down.
No meme or joke posts: This isn’t the place for memes, jokes, or off-topic humor. Post them on !linuxmemes.
No AI-generated posts: All posts must be based on real setups or actual theming work. No fake screenshots or AI mockups unless clearly labeled and still related to Linux visuals.
English only: For clarity and accessibility, all posts and comments must be in English.

I see many people with perfectly placed/sized windows. Do they use a program for that? And if so, how do they handle using a program when its window is so small?
In a normal desktop the program or the desktop chooses a size for the window and pops it somewhere on the screen, but i'm using for my desktop something called a tilling window manager(sway in this case), which takes the program and tries to use as much of the screen as possible (or as i allow it), then when another program wants to open it resizes everything to give every program a nice amount of space without overlaping.
If you wanna know more i recommend searching on youtube "desktop enviroment vs window manager" and you should find a couple of videos explaining not just how i place the windows like that but also how it differs from what you might be using
Will do. Thank you!
Looks cool!
Thanks
