Looks clean. Digging the Firewatch wallpaper
post
Don't know. Only see the DE.
I’m a simple man. I see Debian, I upvote.
Is that Xfce?
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

What that needs is a smoke animation that starts as soon as your core temps get too high.
Horizontal distance > vertical.
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.
the panel on the side. it just makes sense--if you can get 'used to' it.
screens are wider than they are tall, but most content viewed by or worked on by most people goes vertical: web sites and text documents. hell, even most pictures and video people take these days, too, because they still don't know enough to rotate their damn phones.
I'm gonna hard disagree with you. No malice.
It's just that I'm used to a wharf or start menu(tm). Personally, these are always on the corners. Usually the bottom left or top right (my preference.)
you can have your 'start button' in the bottom left if you want, and still have the panel going up the left edge instead of along the bottom.
And it's alright! Luckily, both Cinnamon (like here) and KDE (what I'm using) provide you with such option by default.
Why not both?
Doesn’t matter! What do you think?
Spooky wallpaper, though!
I think that might be for the game fire watch. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firewatch
did you ever see unity on ubunut? reminds me of that, but w a better color palette.
That still exists BTW. It's called Lomiri now.
Seriously? Last I heard unity had no maintainers except one teenager. Is lomiri decently supported? Run well on Ubuntu or other distros?
I was thinking of looking into cinnamon because of this. But maybe I should check lomiri…
digging the vibe.
can you share the wallpaper, please? :)
Found it by looking up dark mode Firewatch wallpapers.
Edit: Didn’t find higher resolutions of this specific one. But here are slightly different but higher resolutions variants: https://imgur.com/a/jvkoP
And the second one in this list
oh, thanks random internet stranger, have a point!
I did do a cursory search for firewatch wallpapers too, but the darkmode term seems to be the key here. Anyhoo, thanks!
edit: though, the site has it in fairly low res, all the download options are super compressed and just (badly) upscaled. But gonna look around if I can find a better version
Very nice. I love Cinnamon. I use the Eleganse theme, I'm a sucker for transparency.
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
i just switched back to debian for personal desktops after years of mint (and a few others). i'm using intel cards right now.. drivers are a total non-issue.. so that helps some, not having to deal with nvidia drivers. games are running great on stable kernel and drivers (heroic flatpak for launcher and wine).
Quite similar to my setup, except mine is based on KDE (yours seems to be Cinnamon), and I have a slightly wider vertical bar with a little more spacing between elements.
Good job!
i almost went cinnamon when i set up my trixie here last month, but went plasma because of some kwin addons. i did install its nemo, though, for when i need a file manager that doesn't choke on thumbnails (like dolphin does) when an extension doesn't match what the file actually is (like a lot of images served by web sites and saved by a browser these days)
Nice cinnamon.
Will that run on Ubuntu next to unity, switching with something like lightdm?
you can add it, and switch at login. there's a cinnamon spin of ubuntu, so packages are in the repos. you'll also find meta packages assembled by both ubuntu and debian that will install what their respective 'full desktop experience' has (browser, libreoffice, utilities, and what-not).
There's no linuxporn / usabilityporn community?
The name is awful. I'd rather see the posts here if that's the name of the community
Yeah there is: https://lemmy.ml/c/unixporn
What? Why?
Right? I love seeing how people rice their DE. However, I would also love a community dedicated to it. We could post some tips or tricks to accomplish certain looks.
Ah yes, exactly what Lemmy needs at this point: fewer posts and fractured communities, that’ll certainly help make the platform better in its infancy.
Yes, I’d definitely rather have a fucking dead site than see pictures of people’s pretty DEs that they’re proud of, and read discussions about why people like or don’t like certain things. Just a dead void of nothing sounds so superior to that as a newer user of GUI Linux distros instead of just headless. Thanks for telling me that I’m an EnShiTTiFiEr because you only want… I don’t even know what you fuckin want, some exclusive club with a post a day about what? Go make your own shitty specific club then and only let people in who post… whatever garbage you wanna see instead and see how long that lasts
Get a debian logo instead of Cinnamon's default logo.
