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.

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.

KDE on Wayland

KDE Plasma 5 on Wayland, Opensuse Slowroll. Big Sur theme with latte dock. 4 virtual desktops in a 2x2 grid (not visible in screenshot)

Different docks for different kinds of apps.. Slightly ugly, but very convenient.

I see you also like to pretend your device is an Apple 😂

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

honest question. Why would you pretend?

I honestly just like many aspects of the UI, so I try and recreate those. The only thing that's actually just copying apple for no good reason is setting the icon of logo menu to Apple, and I mostly do it to see others' puzzled faces.

Ditto 😀

To be honest, I've never owned an apple device: only Android phones and windows (with Linux immediately installed) laptops. However, I kind of like the icon aesthetic the most out of all the ones I've tried.

The theme also grew on me during my Gnome days, so yup, these days I pretend my device is an apple from a cosmetic sense 😂

I was given an iPhone that I used for a couple of years, besides that I haven't owned an Apple device too.
