Linux

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)

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.

More or less replicated the desktop layout I had used throughout childhood, sans desktop icons

  • Debian 12 stable
  • XFCE + Chicago95
  • Chicago95 black cursors
  • Helvetica bitmap font
  • Not shown: wdm login and slock screen locker
  • Running on an X230T with classic keyboard mod to complete the look

Mine is simply default KDE. The only visible thing I've changed is the wallpaper -- changes to my desktop mostly concentrate on the "invisible" ones like shortcut keys or setting changes or scripting.

Seeing lots of discord on these. Anyone else like me and have to install updates to it a couple times a week from the package manager before it will open? I also notice it seems to close itself after a while, I think if the computer sleeps then wakes.

I've been running stock Pop!_OS for quite a while now. The only thing I've done is pin the dock to the left side of the screen.

By the way, I see Toto coming up on your playlist!

Debian with KDE. I've had this set up on my laptop for a few weeks to see how well Debian stable would work as a daily driver with Flatpaks and/or Nix packages mixed in. I'm really liking it so far, so I'll probably migrate my desktop over to a pretty similar set up soon. Right now it looks pretty similar visually, but is running Fedora 39.
