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 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) by JackGreenEarth@lemm.ee to c/linux@lemmy.ml
 

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.

This is my my phone running Debian with XFCE:

[–] VinesNFluff@pawb.social 1 points 2 years ago

A modern phone running Linux, riced to look like 90s Windows.

Oh that's CRIMINAL.

Oh I love it.

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

[–] Yerbouti@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

I hate Apple but macOs is always super well.designed. if you wann know what Windows will look like in 5-6 years, look at the current macOs version.

[–] BananaTrifleViolin@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

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.

[–] bigmclargehuge@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

MacOS is very user friendly (in my use-case. Everyone has different needs). I like they layout of the top bar, the dock front and center, the fullscreen "launchpad" as opposed to a start menu, etc. To each their own.

[–] 0xb@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

I wouldn't use a complete macos theme with the logo and everything, but the mac design language does have some pretty nice details that even help usability.

For example, I love the double outline that macos windows have, the normal darker line and another lighter inside. To me, it really separates windows when I am working with several, and they overlap (I use mac at work), in addition to looking nice and giving some depth. That's just a little detail, but there are many like that one that is easy to see why someone could appreciate them.

Obviously it varies from person to person, there's also stuff that I don't like, but I do can see why someone would use a theme like that.

[–] lemann@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 years ago

Themes and DEs inspired by Mac tend to have a very clear and consistent design language IME

Gnome also falls into the clear and consistent camp too.

I value consistency a lot

[–] lessthanluigi@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Well, mine looks like Windows XP, but not.

[–] Apollo2323@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I like the widgets , how can I get them?

[–] lessthanluigi@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

They are installed by default with KDE Plasma. Although, on the taskbar, you can just get them in the KDE Plasma widget store.

[–] trevor@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 2 years ago

This is very pretty, in a unique way. Great job!

You don't have a dock or top bar? Is everything keyboard shortcuts?

[–] bitdweller@programming.dev 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It's probably hidden panels. Because why use KDE if you're not going to use it?

[–] CuttingBoard@sopuli.xyz 1 points 2 years ago

The panels are hidden.

[–] denast@lemm.ee 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Pretty simplistic, but I really like it :)

  • Arch
  • Hyprland
  • Lots of dracula
[–] myxi@feddit.nl 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

not a fan of that font, but cool setup

[–] denast@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

It's Monocraft, monospaced version of Minecraft font, makes me very nostalgic. First tried it for fun and giggles, but it stuck

[–] spaduf@slrpnk.net 0 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Pretty utilitarian on the ol thinkpad

[–] baduhai@sopuli.xyz 1 points 2 years ago

My brain bugged a little when I saw arch linux on the terminal.

Does your keyboard have 13 number keys? How do you have 13 work spaces?

Day Theme Night Theme

Gnome + Dash to Dock + Arc Menu. Nothing too crazy.

[–] JackGreenEarth@lemm.ee 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

You use both light and dark mode? And what's arc menu?

[–] kabe@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

Yeah, so Gnome has an extension called Night Theme Switcher which automatically changes your background, icons, theme, cursor etc. based on a user-defined day/night schedule. It works great.

Arc Menu is another extension which gives Gnome a standard start menu (since it doesn't come with one by default) in the top lefthand corner. It also comes with a KRunner-like app launcher that pops up in the middle of the screen instead of using the default Gnome Overview UI.

Both these extensions make Gnome feel a little more natural for desktop use, IMO.

[–] JackGreenEarth@lemm.ee 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

One of the great things I like about GNOME is how much you can customise it.

[–] baduhai@sopuli.xyz 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I find this comment really funny, because while gnome is very customisable compared to the desktop environments in macos and Windows, compared to the majority of DEs/WMs in Linux, it's not very customisable at all.

[–] sag@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

Yep Behold KDE and XFCE.

[–] AnEilifintChorcra@sopuli.xyz 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Just a completely blank screen atm, I updated to plasma 6 and it has not been going well lol

[–] richardisaguy@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)
