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 have always wanted to see canyon de chelly in person

[–] culpritus@hexbear.net 8 points 2 years ago

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.

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.

[–] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 11 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I'm just old and used to shortcuts on windows lol

same lol altho i gotta say the top bar is wild to me

[–] Llituro@hexbear.net 9 points 2 years ago

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

Yeah, I live like that. I never just leave it sitting with a bare desktop so I never change my background image these days.

[–] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 8 points 2 years ago (1 children)

CW: MacOS jerma-fear

I prefer to just toggle into launchpad or use the taskbar usually since I've organized it well enough niko-happy don't visit my desktop often since I usually fullscreen my browser/code editor

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.
