What that needs is a smoke animation that starts as soon as your core temps get too high.
looks pretty cool
app bar on side suits the look well
wallpaper looks cool (i personally wouldnt use something so contrasting)
why brave browser tho

I use Brave because it doesn’t force me to create an account to sync my bookmarks. Ironically, Firefox isn’t a saint either; I used to use it, but then this happened.

Plus, Firefox doesn’t support WebUSB.
Why aren’t you using Floccus 😡
Very nice. I love Cinnamon. I use the Eleganse theme, I’m a sucker for transparency.
Doesn’t matter! What do you think?
Spooky wallpaper, though!
I think that might be for the game fire watch. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firewatch
Clean and comfy, very appealing to see!
Looks very nice! Only recommendation: don’t use Brave
Agreed, Helium is the better Chromiun browser anyway. I use Firedragon myself.
Don’t know. Only see the DE.
Oh come on don’t be an arse 😀
But he’s right
He is not wrong, but in human communication we also use something called context. Its clear he’s showing his desktop no need to delve into semantics.
Come on, we are nerds here. Do you really expect us to not be correct to the point of being boring?
Looks clean. Digging the Firewatch wallpaper
Thanks.

Hell yeah, I don’t see a lot of people rocking Debian but I like it. I’m more of a KDE Plasma guy myself but cinnamon is also great
I’m a simple man. I see Debian, I upvote.
Is that Xfce?
🙂No this is this Cinnamon Desktop but I have used XFCE before very good.
Cinnamon on Debian? Most excellent.
no it seems to be kde plasma
it’s cinnamon, linux mint’s gnome fork
looks similar to kde tho (because u can make kde look like pretty much anything)
the mountain logo in top left is the cinnamon logo
Nice cinnamon.
Will that run on Ubuntu next to unity, switching with something like lightdm?
There’s no linuxporn / usabilityporn community?
The name is awful. I’d rather see the posts here if that’s the name of the community
Yeah, no one wants to be viewed as someone who hangs out on 4chan or 4chan adjacent sites. Something like
linux_picsorusability_imageswould work fine. I’m fond ofphotogenic_desktopsas a name. Maybe someone on the developers / programming instance should start it so it’s on an instance likely to support it.
Yeah there is: https://lemmy.ml/c/unixporn
This. Mods, can we please ban posts like this here?
Ah yes, exactly what Lemmy needs at this point: fewer posts and fractured communities, that’ll certainly help make the platform better in its infancy.
Fewer low effort posts and more qualify always helps platforms
Ever heard of enshitification? The last thing we need is shitty memes and misinformation posts that harm users just for the sake of increased engagement
90% servers (of users there) is also not what we want, right?
What? Why?
Because we’re here to read. Links to articles.
If you just want to post photos, do that shit on pixifed.
Don’t lower the quality of Lemmy with low effort posts.
Right? I love seeing how people rice their DE. However, I would also love a community dedicated to it. We could post some tips or tricks to accomplish certain looks.
I love seeing that stuff too! I tried it a long time ago on Windows with Rainmeter. Got one looking like Persona theming and another with Calvin and Hobbes. May try to get back into it now that I’m on Linux.
Horizontal distance > vertical.
Why not both?
Top or bottom task bars make the most sense, imo.
Yep, but at the same time free horizontal space > free vertical.
Depends on how many apps you use in your workflow at once.
I certainly got to enjoy the vertical bar. Feels more natural to me, like bookmarks.
I’m gonna hard disagree with you. No malice.
It’s just that I’m used to a wharf or start menu™. Personally, these are always on the corners. Usually the bottom left or top right (my preference.)
And it’s alright! Luckily, both Cinnamon (like here) and KDE (what I’m using) provide you with such option by default.
Linux Mint has a Debian version called LMDE :D running this on an old laptop, everything’s fine.
I want to give that a try. But I have my Mint setup just how I like it, and I don’t really want to start over.
did you ever see unity on ubunut? reminds me of that, but w a better color palette.
That still exists BTW. It’s called Lomiri now.
Seriously? Last I heard unity had no maintainers except one teenager. Is lomiri decently supported? Run well on Ubuntu or other distros?
I was thinking of looking into cinnamon because of this. But maybe I should check lomiri…
