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.

oh you little fucker
Dope lol
This is my my phone running Debian with XFCE:
KDE + AeroThemePlasma
Aero will never die!
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?
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
It even has Aero Flip
Now I don’t know what that is
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!
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.
Man, after being a Windows user from windows 95-windows 7, I don’t think I would enjoy using the Aero theme, even though it was nice on Windows. I love the freedom Linux brings too much to constantly be reminding myself of Windows while using Linux.
Ah, I never had Windows 7 so perhaps that’s why I can bear it! Either way the reason I chose to use it is because I like skeuomorphic themes and all the GTK themes are flat these days, even Elementary
A modern phone running Linux, riced to look like 90s Windows.
Oh that’s CRIMINAL.
Oh I love it.
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”?
Thanks! And yeah, CAT is indeed the old Alley Cat game.
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.
Ah, that makes sense with it being a foldable. As for the theme, each to their own, I guess.
I’d love that theme in my industrial equipment. Such a clear and concise visual language.
What foldable are you using?
And how easy/hard was it to geht Linux running on it?
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.
Awesome thanks!
Its not linux running on it. Its Termux! With termux-x11 plugin probably. I have this as well
Yup, that’s what they said aswell.
Cool thing!
Lol link me the phone natively displaying this
Based on the neofetch it’s a Samsung Fold Z 4
how do you do that?
I was born on 96’ but I have to say this picture made me happy
Jazz jackrabbit and Winamp ❤️❤️
<3 my pinephone pro https://i.imgur.com/LRcjLpT.png
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).
That’s really cool
Also, you can embed images so I don’t have to got to another site to see them like this
``
ah thank you. fixed!
Well, mine looks like Windows XP, but not.
This is very pretty, in a unique way. Great job!
I like the widgets , how can I get them?
They are installed by default with KDE Plasma. Although, on the taskbar, you can just get them in the KDE Plasma widget store.
I’m not sure that clock is big enough
It’s like the XP olive theme with the vista/7 style widgets sidebar - all you need is the RPM style CPU usage gauges.
I like the widgets
I never understood why people make their linux distros look like mac
Themes and DEs inspired by Mac tend to have a very clear and consistent design language IME
Gnome also falls into the clear and consistent camp too.
I value consistency a lot
It kinda makes sense to me; my KDE desktop is basically set up like Windows in terms of layout (not theming). It’s what I’m used to and prefer the familiarity.
I can imagine people who are used to MacOS like the familiarity of GUI layout and the aesthetics too. Also in fairness to Apple, it is an aesthetically pleasing desktop even if the layout and GUI elements (such as the dock or the top menu bar) isn’t what I like.
I wouldn’t use a complete macos theme with the logo and everything, but the mac design language does have some pretty nice details that even help usability.
For example, I love the double outline that macos windows have, the normal darker line and another lighter inside. To me, it really separates windows when I am working with several, and they overlap (I use mac at work), in addition to looking nice and giving some depth. That’s just a little detail, but there are many like that one that is easy to see why someone could appreciate them.
Obviously it varies from person to person, there’s also stuff that I don’t like, but I do can see why someone would use a theme like that.
I hate Apple but macOs is always super well.designed. if you wann know what Windows will look like in 5-6 years, look at the current macOs version.
MacOS is very user friendly (in my use-case. Everyone has different needs). I like they layout of the top bar, the dock front and center, the fullscreen “launchpad” as opposed to a start menu, etc. To each their own.
Its looks fancy and feels nice. Its really just a theme so everything else works the same. Everyone has different things they like.
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.
It looks nice. I still prefer the functionality and responsiveness of Linux though, and I didn’t clone every feature of the macOS UI.
Just XFCE
Did you install a theme? That looks different to the XFCE I use on my Ubuntu VM.
Yes, I installed Catppuccin theme and Bibata Modern Cursor. What I mean with “Just XFCE” was that I didn’t install any other software to add features.
is coot
coot?
=cute
Nice, Stardew Valley :)
A fellow Undertale Yellow enjoyer, I see you’re an enby of culture.
Celeste!
If I ever started customizing my KDE Plasma, then that would be the last direction I’d ever go in.
Hehe, any kind of ricing can be taken too far.
Funnily enough I recently switched from WM’s to DE (and KDE plasma at that) so that I don’t spend entire days adjusting making pointless window border customization and autostart scripts that are already taken care of by a Desktop environment.
That said, I cant live without my keybinds so I’ve replicated the same on my Plasma setup.
Well, here’s my little piece of ugly:
Edit: And as for Termux:
vomits
Cool train! Thats in Slovakia right?
Yep.
Just to clarify (just in case), I am only the person behind camera.
Excellent. Mature, functional, clean.
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 :)

This is my most recent one. I’m working on a new one that uses tint2 instead of xfce4-panel. Having trouble with the systray though😤
I have a custom animated shader as my desktop background
Does your keyboard have 13 number keys? How do you have 13 work spaces?
F-keys!
I wanted more workspaces, so I decided that
~
is 0,-
is 11,=
is 12 and backspace is 13.Some WM has chained-shortcuts or chorded key bonds, but it is more probably a shortcut of the style “go next workspace” and you can have as many as you want.
