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.

I have a folder where I dump any interesting wallpaper I find, and it rotates every few seconds, so this is already inaccurate... :)

do you feel weird using logos for an OS you're not using? Like, I'd find it weird to use Manjaro's logo on my KDE Neon desktop. Maybe I'm just a stickler for da roolz

I would use a GNOME logo, but I like the puzzled looks I get too much :)

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.

Mine is pretty simple, about the same since 2008, Xfce, with a bottom taskbar with window, a little bit like in Windows XP. I added Teams quicklaunch lately, else it's only file manager, FF, terminal.

Excellent. Mature, functional, clean.

EndeavourOS (Arch-derived), Hyprland, KITTY terminal, custom furry art wallpaper(s) that I commissioned.

Pretty close to default. Using SF Compact Display fonts and Newaita reborn icons. Most of the time I have a bunch of windows open and I rarely see the desktop, except when I start the day :)
