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 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) by JackGreenEarth@lemm.ee to c/linux@lemmy.ml
 

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.

This is my my phone running Debian with XFCE:

Long live Aero

[–] bitwolf@lemmy.one 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

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?

[–] SubArcticTundra@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yes, they remain constant. The theme author actually created a Plasma extension specifically for this!

[–] Hadriscus@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That's quite amazing that someone is ab'e to replicate all those aspects of Windows' desktop environment, or whatever it's called

[–] Hadriscus@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Now I don't know what that is

[–] SubArcticTundra@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[–] Hadriscus@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

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

[–] Templa@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] SubArcticTundra@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year 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.

Punched right in the feelings

[–] JackGreenEarth@lemm.ee 16 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That's an odd aspect ratio for a phone. And I can't say I love the look of that DE.

[–] d3Xt3r@lemmy.nz 34 points 1 year ago (3 children)

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.

[–] acockworkorange@mander.xyz 7 points 1 year ago

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

[–] JackGreenEarth@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

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

[–] RandomLegend@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

What foldable are you using?

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

[–] d3Xt3r@lemmy.nz 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year 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.

[–] RandomLegend@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 year ago

Awesome thanks!

[–] mexicancartel@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] RandomLegend@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 year ago

Yup, that's what they said aswell.

Cool thing!

[–] VinesNFluff@pawb.social 15 points 1 year ago

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

Oh that's CRIMINAL.

Oh I love it.

[–] fernandu00@lemmy.ml 9 points 1 year ago

Jazz jackrabbit and Winamp ❤️❤️

[–] nfsu2@feddit.cl 7 points 1 year ago

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

[–] jw13@beehaw.org 3 points 1 year 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”?

[–] d3Xt3r@lemmy.nz 2 points 1 year ago

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

[–] GBU_28@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Lol link me the phone natively displaying this

[–] wim@lemmy.sdf.org 6 points 1 year ago

Based on the neofetch it's a Samsung Fold Z 4
