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.

<3 my pinephone pro

This is my my phone running Debian with XFCE: 
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
Well, mine looks like Windows XP, but not.

I like the widgets , how can I get them?
They are installed by default with KDE Plasma. Although, on the taskbar, you can just get them in the KDE Plasma widget store.
This is very pretty, in a unique way. Great job!
Well, here's my little piece of ugly:

Edit: And as for Termux:


You don't have a dock or top bar? Is everything keyboard shortcuts?
It's probably hidden panels. Because why use KDE if you're not going to use it?
The panels are hidden.

Pretty simplistic, but I really like it :)
- Arch
- Hyprland
- Lots of dracula
not a fan of that font, but cool setup
It's Monocraft, monospaced version of Minecraft font, makes me very nostalgic. First tried it for fun and giggles, but it stuck

Pretty utilitarian on the ol thinkpad
devil wallpaper
not a BSD user
My brain bugged a little when I saw arch linux on the terminal.
What Firefox css is that?
I honestly don't remember but I do recall it's way more of a process than it used to be

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

so cute!!

Gnome + Dash to Dock + Arc Menu. Nothing too crazy.
You use both light and dark mode? And what's arc menu?
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.
One of the great things I like about GNOME is how much you can customise it.
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.
Yep Behold KDE and XFCE.
Just a completely blank screen atm, I updated to plasma 6 and it has not been going well lol
Arch Linux moment

No plasma 6 on fedora yet ;_;
