Here’s mine. No inspiration at all taken from a certain California based company’s OS ;p
Pretty utilitarian on the ol thinkpad
Looks nice!
devil wallpaper
not a BSD user
My brain bugged a little when I saw arch linux on the terminal.
What Firefox css is that?
This is my most recent one. I’m working on a new one that uses tint2 instead of xfce4-panel. Having trouble with the systray though😤
I have a folder where I dump any interesting wallpaper I find, and it rotates every few seconds, so this is already inaccurate… :)
what wm? and what is the spectrum thing
It is cava, an audio visualizer. And the wm is i3.
Is that two monitors next to each other or an ultrawide display?
Correct
Well, here’s my little piece of ugly:
Edit: And as for Termux:
Cool train! Thats in Slovakia right?
Yep.
Just to clarify (just in case), I am only the person behind camera.
vomits
Like default KDE fedora. I’ve done zero tweaks
Well, mine looks like Windows XP, but not.
I’m not sure that clock is big enough
I like the widgets , how can I get them?
I like the widgets
This is very pretty, in a unique way. Great job!
It’s like the XP olive theme with the vista/7 style widgets sidebar - all you need is the RPM style CPU usage gauges.
Stuff here is:
- Hyprland: Window Manager
- Waybar: Status bar
- Kitty: Terminal
- Neovim: Editor
- swww: Wallpaper daemon (Image (archive.org link, scroll down) is a promotional wallpaper for Slime Rancher)
Workspace 3, which I actually use:
Additional stuff here:
- ncmpcpp: front-end for mpd (Music Player Daemon)
- Newsboat: rss reader
The pretty wallpaper and Catppuccin Mocha theme terminal carry the looks quite a bit tbh.
Slime Rancher!
Beautiful.
That part: yes.
The part that I look at the most: eh
Is that a iOS wallpaper?
Nah, Bing image of the day
At this point you might go for a hackintosh.
Nah, I’m just inspired my macOS’s design, there are still many things I prefer about Linux.
For one thing, the UI on macOS feels very unresponsive, and that’s not just because I’ve mainly used it in a VM, I’ve used it on a real device too and it had the same issues. It’s a fundamental issue on putting transitions that are way too long on simple functions that don’t need to be a transition at all. I can’t even move the cursor normally, it’s smoothed in such a way that it takes much longer to get it into a precise position.
Secondly, they refuse to use the same keyboard shortcuts as Windows and Linux, and I didn’t see an easy way to change them back.
Thirdly, you need to sign into an Apple account to use many apps or features of the OS. They also block a bunch of things that are simple to do in Linux.
Default GNOME I’m a simple girl
GNOME looks nice by default, but I couldn’t imagine using a device without a net speed tracker anymore.

Also, you can embed images so I don’t have to got to another site to see them like this

ah thank you. fixed!
That’s running on a phone?
Yes! SXMO Arch with waybar. It’s a great little device (if you’re ready and able to jump thru some hoops).
That’s really cool
Endeavour OS KDE. Sorry ;-)
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.
Yeah, the customization might not be as extensive as Plasma, but you can certainly add a ton of extra functionality with extensions.
Could you share your icon theme?
Tela icons.
(if you look at the night theme shot, there are other details of the setup in the terminal output)
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.
Jazz jackrabbit and Winamp ❤️❤️
This is so cool! I love the theme.
You have good taste in DOS games as well. Is the “CAT” folder the 1984 game “Alley Cat”?
Thanks! And yeah, CAT is indeed the old Alley Cat game.
That’s an odd aspect ratio for a phone. And I can’t say I love the look of that DE.
It’s a foldable, unfolded. And that’s XFCE with a Windows 95 theme - there’s plenty of fans of the classic 90’s look, in fact, people have made an entire operating system around that aesthetic.
Ah, that makes sense with it being a foldable. As for the theme, each to their own, I guess.
I’d love that theme in my industrial equipment. Such a clear and concise visual language.
What foldable are you using?
And how easy/hard was it to geht Linux running on it?
A Galaxy Fold 4. I used this script which made it pretty easy to install the whole thing, but you can also install it reasonably easily using proot-distro, if you want a choice of distro/more customisation options.
Awesome thanks!
Its not linux running on it. Its Termux! With termux-x11 plugin probably. I have this as well
Yup, that’s what they said aswell.
Cool thing!
KDE + AeroThemePlasma
Man, after being a Windows user from windows 95-windows 7, I don’t think I would enjoy using the Aero theme, even though it was nice on Windows. I love the freedom Linux brings too much to constantly be reminding myself of Windows while using Linux.
Ah, I never had Windows 7 so perhaps that’s why I can bear it! Either way the reason I chose to use it is because I like skeuomorphic themes and all the GTK themes are flat these days, even Elementary
I wanted to install this but apparently it doesn’t work with Wayland. A bummer, I love how Aero looks!
Oh, this screenshot is on Wayland! I don’t think the author tested it on Wayland but besides a couple of negligible glitches the only thing that’s missing is the slight blue tint on the glassy panel.
Aero will never die!
Long live Aero
Punched right in the feelings
This is amazing. It even has the classic guassian blur.
Do the light ribbons that overlay the blur remain constant like in Win7? Or are they fixed on the window borders?
Yes, they remain constant. The theme author actually created a Plasma extension specifically for this!
That’s quite amazing that someone is ab’e to replicate all those aspects of Windows’ desktop environment, or whatever it’s called
It even has Aero Flip
Now I don’t know what that is
Lol link me the phone natively displaying this
Based on the neofetch it’s a Samsung Fold Z 4
how do you do that?
I was born on 96’ but I have to say this picture made me happy
