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)

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.

11 inch screen, so packed pretty tight. Openbox with tint2, left half of the top bar is conky. The bargraph that shows "Mem" is dynamic, it alternates between Mem/Swap/HD. I think the background image is from LXDE's very nice collection of wallpapers.

Mine is simply default KDE. The only visible thing I've changed is the wallpaper -- changes to my desktop mostly concentrate on the "invisible" ones like shortcut keys or setting changes or scripting.

I am a simple person, GNOME on Fedora 39 with AppIndicator extension and I haven't even changed the desktop background (though other times I have used Bliss as my background)

Seeing lots of discord on these. Anyone else like me and have to install updates to it a couple times a week from the package manager before it will open? I also notice it seems to close itself after a while, I think if the computer sleeps then wakes.

I have a custom animated shader as my desktop background

I use gnome with dash-to-panel. I can't do docks or top bars.

I'm on pop os with gnome but using dash-to-panel to get a more classic Taskbar look. I love that extension and seems extremely well supported even across upgrades, it's so good I donated. Maybe I'll add a screenie later.

As for op's pic, I understand liking a particular setup, but to use their proprietary icons too seems strange to me. To each their own, I guess. I thought it was literally a mac on a Linux /c.
