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)
submitted 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) by [email protected] to c/[email protected]
 

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.

Day Theme Night Theme

Gnome + Dash to Dock + Arc Menu. Nothing too crazy.

Could you share your icon theme?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 8 months ago

Tela icons.

(if you look at the night theme shot, there are other details of the setup in the terminal output)

You use both light and dark mode? And what's arc menu?

Yeah, so Gnome has an extension called Night Theme Switcher which automatically changes your background, icons, theme, cursor etc. based on a user-defined day/night schedule. It works great.

Arc Menu is another extension which gives Gnome a standard start menu (since it doesn't come with one by default) in the top lefthand corner. It also comes with a KRunner-like app launcher that pops up in the middle of the screen instead of using the default Gnome Overview UI.

Both these extensions make Gnome feel a little more natural for desktop use, IMO.

One of the great things I like about GNOME is how much you can customise it.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I find this comment really funny, because while gnome is very customisable compared to the desktop environments in macos and Windows, compared to the majority of DEs/WMs in Linux, it's not very customisable at all.

Yep Behold KDE and XFCE.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 8 months ago

Yeah, the customization might not be as extensive as Plasma, but you can certainly add a ton of extra functionality with extensions.
