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.
fire
Dope lol
This is my my phone running Debian with XFCE:
KDE + AeroThemePlasma
Aero will never die!
Long live Aero
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
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.
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.
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!
Ah, that makes sense with it being a foldable. As for the theme, each to their own, I guess.
A modern phone running Linux, riced to look like 90s Windows.
Oh that’s CRIMINAL.
Oh I love it.
Jazz jackrabbit and Winamp ❤️❤️
I was born on 96’ but I have to say this picture made me happy
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.
Lol link me the phone natively displaying this
Based on the neofetch it’s a Samsung Fold Z 4
<3 my pinephone pro
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
Also, you can embed images so I don’t have to got to another site to see them like this
``
ah thank you. fixed!
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.
Beautiful.
That part: yes.
The part that I look at the most: eh
Slime Rancher!
This is gorgeous!!!
Just XFCE
Did you install a theme? That looks different to the XFCE I use on my Ubuntu VM.
Yes, I installed Catppuccin theme and Bibata Modern Cursor. What I mean with “Just XFCE” was that I didn’t install any other software to add features.
I need that wallpaper! Is there a way you could provide me that?
Wonderful thank you so much!
I never understood why people make their linux distros look like mac
The obvious answer is people who grew up using Macs tend to like the Ui and workflow.
Even though I’ve never enjoyed my times using MacOS, I’ll still sell being able to perfectly clone it’s desktop as a feature of Linux for those who do.
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.
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
It looks nice. I still prefer the functionality and responsiveness of Linux though, and I didn’t clone every feature of the macOS UI.
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
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.
Looks nice!
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
Just a completely blank screen atm, I updated to plasma 6 and it has not been going well lol
If I ever started customizing my KDE Plasma, then that would be the last direction I’d ever go in.
Hehe, any kind of ricing can be taken too far.
Funnily enough I recently switched from WM’s to DE (and KDE plasma at that) so that I don’t spend entire days adjusting making pointless window border customization and autostart scripts that are already taken care of by a Desktop environment.
That said, I cant live without my keybinds so I’ve replicated the same on my Plasma setup.
Like default KDE fedora. I’ve done zero tweaks
Just did a fresh install of EndeavourOS with KDE 6…still using the same theme I’ve been using on 5.27 for months. I call it ‘Windows 7 but better’
And yes I deleted my last comment while figuring out how embedding images actually works >.>
That’s a nice wallpaper. Where did you get it?
I found it a while back just searching through duckduckgo images and threw it into the folder of wallpapers I’ve been hording
What’s that Steam theme?
You have to use SFP to use skins on Steam now sadly.
Millenium is gonna be ported to linux soon, which is a better utility than SPF
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
I use dracula for everything too! Thank you so much for sharing!
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
