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.

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?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago (1 children)

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

Now I don't know what that is

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago

oooh wow. Defo looks like something Microsoft would do. I didn't know that existed

Punched right in the feelings

I wanted to install this but apparently it doesn't work with Wayland. A bummer, I love how Aero looks!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

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.

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

I'd love that theme in my industrial equipment. Such a clear and concise visual language.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago

Ah, that makes sense with it being a foldable. As for the theme, each to their own, I guess.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago (2 children)

What foldable are you using?

And how easy/hard was it to geht Linux running on it?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago

Awesome thanks!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Its not linux running on it. Its Termux! With termux-x11 plugin probably. I have this as well

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago

Yup, that's what they said aswell.

Cool thing!

[–] [email protected] 15 points 8 months ago

A modern phone running Linux, riced to look like 90s Windows.

Oh that's CRIMINAL.

Oh I love it.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 8 months ago

Jazz jackrabbit and Winamp ❤️❤️

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

I was born on 96' but I have to say this picture made me happy

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago (1 children)

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”?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago

Thanks! And yeah, CAT is indeed the old Alley Cat game.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

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