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.

This is my my phone running Debian with XFCE:
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.
A modern phone running Linux, riced to look like 90s Windows.
Oh that's CRIMINAL.
Oh I love it.
Jazz jackrabbit and Winamp ❤️❤️
<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).
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.
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.
Its looks fancy and feels nice. Its really just a theme so everything else works the same. Everyone has different things they like.
Just a completely blank screen atm, I updated to plasma 6 and it has not been going well lol
Well, mine looks like Windows XP, but not.
I’m not sure that clock is big enough
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 >.>
Pretty simplistic, but I really like it :)
- Arch
- Hyprland
- Lots of dracula
Here's my weeb'd out set-up. KDE Plasma 6 with the Breeze Dark theme and a slideshow of animu wallpapers.
Edit: gah I forgot to mention my OS. At the risk of sounding like a meme... It's Arch.
Like default KDE fedora. I’ve done zero tweaks
If I ever started customizing my KDE Plasma, then that would be the last direction I'd ever go in.
- Debian 12
- Openbox
- Tint2
- Minimal japanese wallpaper
Pretty minimal to my habits :)
I'm basic...
Fedora Kinoite, Plasma desktop, Arc shell theme, and Catppuccin window/app theme.
I included more information about my setup on my Codeberg page.
Mine, Fedora Atomic Budgie. Materia GTK Theme. Intended to keep the focus on my windows rather than my desktop or theme.
- OS: Manjaro
- DE: KDE Plasma 5
- Global: Scratchy
- Plasma Style, Window Decorations, and Colors are customized and don't remember their sources, sorry
- Icons: Colorful-Dark-Icons
- Cursor: Breeze
I know there's a lot of defaults in here, but this has been my daily driver for 6 years now and been loving this setup
Wallpaper is Bing image of the day
I have a folder where I dump any interesting wallpaper I find, and it rotates every few seconds, so this is already inaccurate... :)
