      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.

                                          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

                                            Nice cinnamon.

                                            Will that run on Ubuntu next to unity, switching with something like lightdm?

                                              Is that Xfce?

                                                          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

Something like linux_pics or usability_images would work fine. I’m fond of photogenic_desktops as a name. Maybe someone on the developers / programming instance should start it so it’s on an instance likely to support it.

                                                                                          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.

                                                                                              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.)

                                                                                                      I was thinking of looking into cinnamon because of this. But maybe I should check lomiri…

                                                                                                  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.
