It’s not a Linux experience if you don’t customize it to the point of it breaking.
Idk, all the power to everyone who wants it but I also like ootb experiences
Oh no
Look out
It’s CHOICE
I found a thread on reddit where some doofus was claiming the classic cube layout from Compiz is completly useless and nothing more than eye candy after someone was having trouble with setting up the cube on Wayfire.
It is objectively the best way to handle multiple workspaces.
Idk, default KDE is almost okay for me. I spend maybe 2 minutes changing a few task bar options and virtual desktops.
I used to go crazy with conky and icons and colors and a bunch of crap. Now I got work to do, leave my w95 looking desktop alone.
More like OS Interior Design.
I feel forced to use slightly customized breeze at this point, because every other theme I would like is either straight up buggy or does not support all of the features Plasma has now…
How do you customize it yourself? Every time I try to find info online I just find “use themes,” but I’m not looking for whole themes, I want to kinda sorta slowly theme it myself like “oh I want this to be that color” and stuff, I just don’t know what .conf files or whatever I need to edit.
Not me writing my quickshell panel for over a week straight (so far) 👀

It doesn’t have to be bloated. Desktops tend to be bloated. Its part of the interface design.Some people want to remove bloat to have a more efficient system
Some people want to remove bloat so they can fill it up again with their own bloat
They are not the same
I’m the second part of this statement and I don’t like it.
hey, all that processing power used to layer three layers of differently tinted slightly differently translucent blurred windows with rounded corners are WORTH IT.
EDIT : after all, you need it to run a terminal based browser.
It’s not bloat if you want it
don’t love your desktop bloat, bloat your desktop love
Time you enjoy wasting, is not wasted time.
One man’s bloat is another’s treasure
One man’s waste is another man’s soap.

Whatever bloats your boat.
Insert two wolves meme here
Im actually going for the Gus fring one
Yes but I am both
Inside of you are two Gus Frings
They are not the same
Ah but you see, this is my bloat! 😂
Yeah - I like my stuff. It might be a little bit messy, but I like it. But I would hate it with passion if my landlord would place his stuff into my flat.

Well, that depends… How valuable is his stuff?
And it’s your computer! if anything should be the way you like, it should be that.
I love that many of the pictures in the bottom are from Rainmeter. A software for Windows that allows you to place customised widgets anywhere. So… literally have nothing to do with Linux
Man, you have a lot of confidence in your ability to tell Rainmeter apart from Conky, Eww or the like, from just a handful of pixels…
Let’s just say I’ve used Rainmeter a lot. And by a lot i mean for about 20 years. Is it possible people have created replica themes on Conky or viseversa on Rainmeter? For sure. I just found it funny that the image included Rainmeter skins. They’re the kind of images you’ll see as the poster for certain themes. And I’ve scrolled through more of them than I’d like to admit. And many of them are reposted a lot but use the same poster/thumbnail
It’s just so fun having an OS that you can make work for you vs being shoehorned into things you never asked for.
The high customisability of Linux desktop is part of the reason why I moved from Windows. Everything looks so clean and modern, and doesn’t have any of the Windows bloat. It’s so good.
It really is. Every time I think “Hey, it would be cool if my desktop could have [blank]”, I look it up and someone has already had that idea and built it.
And when it’s not, I go with a GPT that helps me make some tiny bash script within one or two simple prompts. It doesn’t cover all edge cases, but it solves the problem that I have, in the simplest possible way, which I enjoy a lot. I collected hundreds of tiny scripts so far. Most of them, I have no reuse for, so I don’t know, I think perhaps there’s some value in having a blog about them.
You may see insanity, I see home.
No place like
/home/$USER!What is wrong with
$HOME?
thats the beauty of it, is it not? having your OS fit SPECIFICALLY you and your needs. i am now so used to my setup that i fell like i will get an aneurysm when trying to use windows… or a DE on Linux
