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.

      Lollypop. I also have GNOME music, but after trying a bunch of different music players, I like this the best.

      Nah, I’m just inspired my macOS’s design, there are still many things I prefer about Linux.

      For one thing, the UI on macOS feels very unresponsive, and that’s not just because I’ve mainly used it in a VM, I’ve used it on a real device too and it had the same issues. It’s a fundamental issue on putting transitions that are way too long on simple functions that don’t need to be a transition at all. I can’t even move the cursor normally, it’s smoothed in such a way that it takes much longer to get it into a precise position.

      Secondly, they refuse to use the same keyboard shortcuts as Windows and Linux, and I didn’t see an easy way to change them back.

      Thirdly, you need to sign into an Apple account to use many apps or features of the OS. They also block a bunch of things that are simple to do in Linux.

    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!

      Is that GNOME overview with a custom dock? The dock looks like KDE, to be honest

      GNOME looks nice by default, but I couldn’t imagine using a device without a net speed tracker anymore.

    screenshot of my desktop. Pictured are two floating windows, both kitty, the left one is small, with pfetch just executed, the right one is bigger, with Neovim, open on src/Compositor.cpp from the Hyprland repo. At the top is a mostly default waybar. The wallpaper is a cute promotional wallpaper for Slime Rancher.

    Stuff here is:

    • Hyprland: Window Manager
    • Waybar: Status bar
    • Kitty: Terminal
    • Neovim: Editor
    • swww: Wallpaper daemon (Image (archive.org link, scroll down) is a promotional wallpaper for Slime Rancher)

    Workspace 3, which I actually use:

    the same desktop, but two other, tiled, windows are open. The left one takes up more space. Again both Kitty, the left one with ncmpcpp open, and the right one with newsboat open.

    Additional stuff here:

    • ncmpcpp: front-end for mpd (Music Player Daemon)
    • Newsboat: rss reader

    The pretty wallpaper and Catppuccin Mocha theme terminal carry the looks quite a bit tbh.

    Mine, Fedora Atomic Budgie. Materia GTK Theme. Intended to keep the focus on my windows rather than my desktop or theme.

    Day Theme Night Theme

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

        Tela icons.

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

        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.

            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.

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