Also I’m down to play any of the games I have shown here like Diablo, Diablo II, Ragnarok Online, NWN etc.

just kidding; i would never stoop so low as to use windows
Hey it’s my CIA handler!
we have determined you to be threat level orange this week
With the introduction of Gnome Shell in 2011, the Gnome developers decided desktop icons were tacky and got rid of them. There are some extensions to bring them back, but the Gnome developers are just and righteous in their arbitrary design tyranny.
The dictatorship of the GNOME Human Interface Guidelines (HIG) has given us the most beautiful desktop environment but also the most controversial.
I use Arch BTW
Image from the Plasma 6 Wallpaper Competition - yes, on my Gnome Desktop!
It seems like my success has led to some controversy
~ GNOME
that wallpaper is lovely
Wait, are they the ones behind “~/Desktop shouldn’t even exist since you already have ~/Documents?”
Can you tell that I am extremely annoying about recommending people Disco Elysium?
lol nice
shrunk it a bit since 4k

I have always wanted to see canyon de chelly in person
It’s an amazing place, the scale is barely comprehensible in person.
The desktop of my main ThinkPad. The wifi information is redacted.
Arch Linux w/ sway, swaybg, and waybar. Gruvbox lagtrain as background, with a gruvbox theme applied to everything.
Blurred out private notes (mostly just appointments, todo lists, doctor names/numbers, etc.)
foobar2000 reigns supreme
so like, you just live like that then?
Hey I’m proud of my tasteful horny Keith Parkinson art
oh, that’s fine, i’ve watched an international student stream his anime titty background to tenured faculty while pulling up slides for science research before. my linux having ass is just more shocked at the usage of a desktop with shortcuts on it. just feels too cluttered for me now.
I’m just old and used to shortcuts on windows lol
KDE is happy to support desktop shortcuts as part of its core design, I never use them though since I’m too lazy to set them up.
same lol altho i gotta say the top bar is wild to me
well, what i really want to be using is a keyboard tiling wm like xmonad or qtile, but for reasons X doesn’t support my specific graphics card, and it also doesn’t play nice with any wayland WM based off of wlroots, so for my two monitor setup, my favorite option is KDE wayland.
which is to say, i like having a top bar like xmobar that is more like a thinner strip of system info and workspaces a la macos default, but given that i can’t have it, i’ve still elected to shove my windows bar to the top
2 years and 50+ different distributions have culminated in a Bazzite Ublue install that I am neither over excited nor overly annoyed about. I will never go back to GNOME though.
CW: MacOS
I prefer to just toggle into launchpad or use the taskbar usually since I’ve organized it well enough
don’t visit my desktop often since I usually fullscreen my browser/code editorI like MacOS. I never give a shit when people bully me for it
I like a tidy desktop.
KDE gang unite.
What I love most about KDE5 is how it’s become a genuinely lightweight desktop, yet has stayed highly stable and full-featured. I think people who had bad experiences with KDE4 (and that’s basically everyone who used it) owe it to themselves to give KDE5 a try. It’s a night and day change.
Extremely excited for Plasma 6, it’s going to knock GNOME out of the water.
Yeah, I live like that. I never just leave it sitting with a bare desktop so I never change my background image these days.
Cool
you have made me want to change my backgrounds that I never look at, tyvm
I leave it on the mouse maze one because I think it’s really cool
Debian on gnome. no cleaning as requested
Hand me that wallpaper please

i pulled it from this video and added a blue screen over it to have it fit with themes of my shell all my applications: https://youtu.be/GwaXhTGEhIk
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
Arch Linux w/ GNOME 45
Is this a desktop?
I’ll allow it
Thank you for allowing me to post my poorly made hover bike. That thing definitely won’t fly straight, or do good uppies without a lot of effort.
Nobara OS. Already clean
The taskbar is usually hidden too so it’s literally just an animated wallpaper

It’s this one on the WE workshop and I’m using this KDE WE plugin to run it
