Okay folks. It's time.

For Linux desktop thread!

Share your Linux desktop in this thread, no matter what DE or WM or whatever you use!

I want to see them! Just make sure you have no personally identifiable information showing, of course!

Here's mine, though I change wallpapers all the time lol.

#Linux #Desktop

@aks It’s been a while since I last saw my wallpaper

@aks not much to see here since I'm still running boring ol' gnome

@aks Nothing too crazy

@aks Just shared it earlier, but here's it again with a Fastfetch output:

@aks Here's my humble laptop setup, the buttons and margins are so large because it's in tablet mode btw

@aks fedora gang

edit: oh yeah it says toolbox container image because this is atomic KDE lol

@aks i3wm installed on fedora workstation. Been loving it

@aks My own Sway config, nothing fancy, but it's comfy and does the job! Most importantly, it's mine!

Happy #DesktopFriday

@aks Nothing to see in my case 🚸 the wallpaper was created a long time ago by myself, everything else is hidden and controlled just by the keyboard. The WM is Plasma 6 and KDE (of course). But honestly, I don't know a lot about KDE. It's just there.
BTW: of course I'm a terminal user and keyboard junkie 🙂 wouldn't make much sense in every other case.

@aks Here is mine #Linux #UnixPorn #ShowYourDesktop

@aks It's stock GNOME with a stock wallpaper, it's not worth screenshotting. I've usually got windows covering my whole desktop so I rarely see the background anyway.

@aks Debian Bookworm with an artwork by @davidrevoy

@aks I have a very simple setup. Nothing to see really.

• WM: #leftwm
• Distro: #arch
• Background: My creation with #krita created long long years ago, and still using it.
• At the top I have #polybar with a lot of extra custom scripts
• Terminal: #alacritty
• Shell: fish (moved from zsh recently)

LeftWM config: https://git.efertone.me/efertone/config-leftwm

#linux #desktop

@aks@scalie.zone i'm not one for ricing my install

@aks Cool wallpaper ! :)

Nothing much on mine, though the wallpapers are a bit busy ! (But the colors feel good to me)
Maybe just the monitoring graphs up in the panel, and my overly complicated bash prompt ?

@aks I keep things boring with outdated #LXQt

Even this screenshot is outdated lol

@aks Not much to see there. 😅 (The wallpaper is picked at random on each reload of my WMs config file)

@aks Basic dwm with a mix of other people's and my own patches.

@aks i Yearn for tiling window manager (inaccessible to me due to how weird my setup is and how i manage it)

kde plasma 6.2, i need to fix my fastfetch config to display more than nothing

@aks Fedora 41 with KDE Plasma hype! ^_^

#Linux

@aks I used to put so much love into customizing my window manager setup including making custom themes and stuff. I should try the other surviving linux window manager one of these days.

@quincetart10 @aks Yeah, I've seen tablet mode on my Minisforum V3 when I detach the keyboard. It was the first tablet that it seemed to work with; I couldn't get a different 2 in 1 (that has since been returned) to get it to trigger no matter what I did...

That's why I'm glad it exists!

@arch furries? in my linux?

its more likely than you think...

@aks Back in 2006 - 2010 when I regularly ran windowmaker I had a little "applet" that was a fish tank where the water level was memory usage and it would have bubbles rising in it when the CPU usage was high, and below it I had another applet which was a flame that indicated CPU load. I miss doing stuff like that :(

@aks @arch Best comment I've seen in a LONG time! 😹

Also, the more users on Linux, the better!

@mr_grey i really love the simple desktops like this. I would probably have something similar if i wasnt into Plasma so much

@cameronbosch @aks It only gets enabled when it detects a touchscreen, but no touchpad or mouse (according to the settings app), or when you enable it in System Settings -> General Behavior -> Touch Mode

@aks Now days I get the feeling the gnome devs expect me to be thankful that they still lets me change the desktop image without registry hax 😭

@quincetart10 @aks On an Asus 2 in 1 laptop (the ROG Flow x13 2023), it wouldn't trigger even when the screen was flipped all the way back, likely because it was missing Linux drivers for over a year. I don't know if they ever were added because I returned it.

@aks Mine is pretty simple a standard KDE (had Cinnamon before). It has though an Image that is very dear me as a background for quite a while now. Its a commision I made with my TRPG-Group. The names and jobs of each of them are listed as alt-text. If you want a little story time I will tell lol

(That alt is way longer than it has any right to be, literally a bit more than 2000 characters)

@stefan aw i love the wallpaper!
