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.
oh you little fucker
Dope lol
fire
Well, mine looks like Windows XP, but not.
This is very pretty, in a unique way. Great job!
I like the widgets , how can I get them?
They are installed by default with KDE Plasma. Although, on the taskbar, you can just get them in the KDE Plasma widget store.

I never understood why people make their linux distros look like mac
It kinda makes sense to me; my KDE desktop is basically set up like Windows in terms of layout (not theming). It’s what I’m used to and prefer the familiarity.
I can imagine people who are used to MacOS like the familiarity of GUI layout and the aesthetics too. Also in fairness to Apple, it is an aesthetically pleasing desktop even if the layout and GUI elements (such as the dock or the top menu bar) isn’t what I like.
I wouldn’t use a complete macos theme with the logo and everything, but the mac design language does have some pretty nice details that even help usability.
For example, I love the double outline that macos windows have, the normal darker line and another lighter inside. To me, it really separates windows when I am working with several, and they overlap (I use mac at work), in addition to looking nice and giving some depth. That’s just a little detail, but there are many like that one that is easy to see why someone could appreciate them.
Obviously it varies from person to person, there’s also stuff that I don’t like, but I do can see why someone would use a theme like that.
Themes and DEs inspired by Mac tend to have a very clear and consistent design language IME
Gnome also falls into the clear and consistent camp too.
I value consistency a lot
MacOS is very user friendly (in my use-case. Everyone has different needs). I like they layout of the top bar, the dock front and center, the fullscreen “launchpad” as opposed to a start menu, etc. To each their own.
I hate Apple but macOs is always super well.designed. if you wann know what Windows will look like in 5-6 years, look at the current macOs version.
This is my my phone running Debian with XFCE:
A modern phone running Linux, riced to look like 90s Windows.
Oh that’s CRIMINAL.
Oh I love it.
If I ever started customizing my KDE Plasma, then that would be the last direction I’d ever go in.
Well, here’s my little piece of ugly:
Edit: And as for Termux:
KDE plasma 6 on Nobara. breeze with Catpuchin theme and wall paper
Just did a fresh install of EndeavourOS with KDE 6…still using the same theme I’ve been using on 5.27 for months. I call it ‘Windows 7 but better’
And yes I deleted my last comment while figuring out how embedding images actually works >.>
What’s that Steam theme?
You have to use SFP to use skins on Steam now sadly.
so cute!!
I need that wallpaper! Is there a way you could provide me that?
Wonderful thank you so much!
me too please
No, I normally don’t use emacs as browser.
- NixOS
- Hyprland
- Waybar
- Dracula
–
- openSUSE Tumbleweed
- xfce
- theme (diy, but inspiration and code also from various themes)
- icons (standard ones, diy & symbolic lucide icons, weather icons and openSUSE start button (i cant find again the source for))
- wallpaper macOS Big Sur from 512pixels.net
That it i guess 🤔
Pretty simplistic, but I really like it :)
- Arch
- Hyprland
- Lots of dracula
not a fan of that font, but cool setup
It’s Monocraft, monospaced version of Minecraft font, makes me very nostalgic. First tried it for fun and giggles, but it stuck
Gnome + Dash to Dock + Arc Menu. Nothing too crazy.
You use both light and dark mode? And what’s arc menu?
Yeah, so Gnome has an extension called Night Theme Switcher which automatically changes your background, icons, theme, cursor etc. based on a user-defined day/night schedule. It works great.
Arc Menu is another extension which gives Gnome a standard start menu (since it doesn’t come with one by default) in the top lefthand corner. It also comes with a KRunner-like app launcher that pops up in the middle of the screen instead of using the default Gnome Overview UI.
Both these extensions make Gnome feel a little more natural for desktop use, IMO.
One of the great things I like about GNOME is how much you can customise it.
I find this comment really funny, because while gnome is very customisable compared to the desktop environments in macos and Windows, compared to the majority of DEs/WMs in Linux, it’s not very customisable at all.
Yep Behold KDE and XFCE.
