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.

        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.

            Yeah, the customization might not be as extensive as Plasma, but you can certainly add a ton of extra functionality with extensions.

      The obvious answer is people who grew up using Macs tend to like the Ui and workflow.

      Even though I’ve never enjoyed my times using MacOS, I’ll still sell being able to perfectly clone it’s desktop as a feature of Linux for those who do.

      Its looks fancy and feels nice. Its really just a theme so everything else works the same. Everyone has different things they like.

      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.

      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.

      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.

      It looks nice. I still prefer the functionality and responsiveness of Linux though, and I didn’t clone every feature of the macOS UI.

      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.

    Here’s my weeb’d out set-up. KDE Plasma 6 with the Breeze Dark theme and a slideshow of animu wallpapers.

    Edit: gah I forgot to mention my OS. At the risk of sounding like a meme… It’s Arch.

        Some WM has chained-shortcuts or chorded key bonds, but it is more probably a shortcut of the style “go next workspace” and you can have as many as you want.

        I wanted more workspaces, so I decided that ~ is 0, - is 11, = is 12 and backspace is 13.

    Looks like this, 3 monitor setup

    Image of a 3 monitor setup with Streets of Rage wallpaper across all 3 monitors.

    GNOME 45.5 with only a few extensions. Most of the good ones break every time there’s a new GNOME release anyway. I especially miss having the top bar on all monitors. Dash to Dock on the center monitor.

        I rarely use it but I have it synced with my Firefox account so it should have all my favorites and tabs, but not its extensions. I sometimes use it to test something. I think it’s an ok every day browser.

          I think it might just be my theme, but it looks a lot like Safari to me. Apparently it is based on webkit. Can you send me a screenshot of what it looks like for you?

    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 >.>
