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.

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.
That’s an odd aspect ratio for a phone. And I can’t say I love the look of that DE.
It’s a foldable, unfolded. And that’s XFCE with a Windows 95 theme - there’s plenty of fans of the classic 90’s look, in fact, people have made an entire operating system around that aesthetic.
KDE + AeroThemePlasma

Aero will never die!
This is amazing. It even has the classic guassian blur.
Do the light ribbons that overlay the blur remain constant like in Win7? Or are they fixed on the window borders?
Yes, they remain constant. The theme author actually created a Plasma extension specifically for this!
That’s quite amazing that someone is ab’e to replicate all those aspects of Windows’ desktop environment, or whatever it’s called
It even has Aero Flip
Now I don’t know what that is
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.
I have a custom animated shader as my desktop background
<3 my pinephone pro
That’s running on a phone?
Yes! SXMO Arch with waybar. It’s a great little device (if you’re ready and able to jump thru some hoops).
Also, you can embed images so I don’t have to got to another site to see them like this

Very nice!
- OS: Manjaro
- DE: KDE Plasma 5
- Global: Scratchy
- Plasma Style, Window Decorations, and Colors are customized and don’t remember their sources, sorry
- Icons: Colorful-Dark-Icons
- Cursor: Breeze
I know there’s a lot of defaults in here, but this has been my daily driver for 6 years now and been loving this setup
Looks very cool. Nobody could mistake this for any other OS :)
Thank you! I love the flexibility of Plasma and being able to make a uniquely me environment
What’s the bar style achieved with?
It’s actually just the normal KDE one, set as floating, then shrunk it to my desired size. My partner then added some embellishments to the wallpaper to make the clock and taskbar pop
Awesome ricing!,tired of people which bring mac os or windows ui desing in open source world.
Thanks a ton! I loved changing everything and finding what things I could or could not do without and optimize everything to my use-case. Getting off of my work Windows PC and logging into my home Linux PC feels like such a breath of fresh air
I never understood why people make their linux distros look like mac
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 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.
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.
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.
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.
11 inch screen, so packed pretty tight. Openbox with tint2, left half of the top bar is conky. The bargraph that shows “Mem” is dynamic, it alternates between Mem/Swap/HD. I think the background image is from LXDE’s very nice collection of wallpapers.
This is my most recent one. I’m working on a new one that uses tint2 instead of xfce4-panel. Having trouble with the systray though😤Well, here’s my little piece of ugly:
Edit: And as for Termux:
Yes
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 use gnome with dash-to-panel. I can’t do docks or top bars.
