Post your desktop
I want to see what wizards desktops look like and what they use as a daily driver.

I use Debian GNU/Linux with a full suckless setup

I used to use those meme tiling WMs like i3 and dwm in the past but I switched away since I didn't really use any of their special features. I currently have no wallpaper, but I rarely see my desktop because most of the time I have a maximized window open.

I noticed a lot of rices falling into the same pitfalls, so this is one I made in an attempt to make a harmonic and balanced desktop:
>not a generic dark/neon rice, but not eye-blindingly light either
>not so modern that you become misanthropic, not so retro that it feels kitsch.
>modern and relatively minimalistic UI for visual clarity, but the soul of older anime
very happy with how it turn out.

 No.69269

>>69268
>what distro are you using?
NixOS, as the pfetch output shows.
>and why this distro?
Purely stateless and declarative system configuration and software management. It's what ended my distrohopping and I've stuck with it for years. If the Nix manifesto resonates with you, give it a try.

waybar

I regret going to wayland because I'm on an nvidia gaming laptop and I play video games on external monitors (which is supported about as well as you'd expect), and generally it has only given me problems, but your mileage may vary. I would probably move to DWM on X11 on if I could muster the time to do it, purely for a) minimalism/speed/elegance and b) Nix makes it so easy to apply patches with derivation overriding.

I've made a few changes to make my Android/One UI setup look a bit more like a proper desktop, taking advantage of what Samsung calls an Edge Panel, which makes the teenage inside of me chuckle a bit. Also got a terminal up and running, that reminds me of my GNU/Linux desktop days, though technically I suppose Android *sort* of counts as GNU/Linux, doesn't it?

tablet?

 No.69440

>>69439
Yup! It's a Galaxy Tab A8, I genuinely use it as my main computer nowadays, it fits my usecase perfectly, though of course I wouldn't recommend this kind of setup for everyone, at best I'd say tablets are great supplementary devices for most, depending on what you'd like to do using one.

I browse the web, consume content, post on imageboards, read books and comic books/manga, draw and play video games. I enjoy doing all of these things with a stylus, and removing the keyboard when not needed, which are the reasons I prefer it over my laptop, it size just makes it more comfortable to use for me, also easier to take with me when going somewhere else, of course all of the things I've mentioned can be done on a laptop, but I find that media consumption, reading and especially drawing definitely feel better and more practical on my tablet, it also helps that my tablet's newer than my laptop, with a healthier battery leading to more screen time before having to charge it, though of course a newer laptop could fix that for me.

I really do! Thanks, anon. Of course! Here's one I'm pretty happy with, I drew it for a childhood friend on his birthday, I know he loves Marvel and Spider-Man so I made this and printed it for him, he seemed to really like it. I mostly play older consoles, so a ton of ROMs, a wide variety of consoles and genres, I use a telescopic controller to sort of turn it into a bigger Switch, it's great.

Thanks, anon! I'd definitely recommend tablets as a portable emulation station, even my relatively weak and budget one can run up to PS1 pretty decently.

Now that's one my tablet definitely can't run.

I've been playing mostly NES, recently finished DuckTales for the 1st time and it was a blast, now I'm replaying TECMO World Cup Soccer on NES because this FIFA Club World Cup that's taking place in the USA got me in the mood for some soccer too.

I put the Edge Panel (A.K.A. Taskbar/Dock) on the left and now it sort of reminds me of Ubuntu with Android/One UI having both it on the left, and a top panel, even if said panel is transparent here. I don't know, I just like how it reminds me of my favorite Linux distro, and the iconic Unity DE, though even nowadays with GNOME they still go for this look somewhat.

I personally use openSUSE Tumbleweed GNU/Linux, it's been alright so far. Albeit thinking about switching distros out to something that doesn't update quite as frequently.

 No.70563

I use Ubuntu 24 LTS. Yes, I know Ubuntu is one of the worst distros. For me it's just really convenient, just install and it werks, very little tinkering or tweaking. I know this kind of hesitancy is how normies end up on windows for their entire life.
I only use my laptop for internet browsing anyway.

Just switched to antiX from Ubuntu (rumor has it they're packing the next version with AI nonsense - so I'm out).

Been done with Windows for a while but not really a Linux nerd. Gnome 3 was fine; loved Fedora, Ubuntu and Debian.

Linux for desktop use is still trash, you have to choose between two janky display servers, one that's like 40 years old and the other is jank

None of the android display solutions have been ported to desktop linux, that gpl license is worthless

>>70570
why people are using linux distros if it is jank shit? I will never know; just because the software is written differently to work with an hardware

 No.70576

Because windows is "Fascist" and "invades your privacy" and doesn't "respect your freedoms". Those using Linux as a protest against windows are the embodiment of "cutting off your nose to spite your face".
