Finally got my Debian setup dialed in. What do you think?

Dark_Nebula to 
Linux
What that needs is a smoke animation that starts as soon as your core temps get too high.
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

I use Brave because it doesn't force me to create an account to sync my bookmarks. Ironically, Firefox isn't a saint either; I used to use it, but then this happened.

Plus, Firefox doesn't support WebUSB.
Why aren't you using Floccus 😡
Very nice. I love Cinnamon. I use the Eleganse theme, I'm a sucker for transparency.
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
Clean and comfy, very appealing to see!
Looks very nice! Only recommendation: don't use Brave
Agreed, Helium is the better Chromiun browser anyway. I use Firedragon myself.
Don't know. Only see the DE.
Oh come on don't be an arse 😀
But he's right
He is not wrong, but in human communication we also use something called context. Its clear he's showing his desktop no need to delve into semantics.
Looks clean. Digging the Firewatch wallpaper
Thanks.
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
Nice cinnamon.
Will that run on Ubuntu next to unity, switching with something like lightdm?
I’m a simple man. I see Debian, I upvote.
Is that Xfce?
🙂No this is this Cinnamon Desktop but I have used XFCE before very good.
Cinnamon on Debian? Most excellent.
no it seems to be kde plasma
it's cinnamon, linux mint's gnome fork
looks similar to kde tho (because u can make kde look like pretty much anything)
the mountain logo in top left is the cinnamon logo
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
Horizontal distance > vertical.
Why not both?
Top or bottom task bars make the most sense, imo.
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.
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.)
And it's alright! Luckily, both Cinnamon (like here) and KDE (what I'm using) provide you with such option by default.
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…
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!
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
I found mine here. https://www.wallpaperflare.com/firewatch-video-game-art-minimalism-simple-wallpaper-yshyt
Linux Mint has a Debian version called LMDE :D running this on an old laptop, everything's fine.
I want to give that a try. But I have my Mint setup just how I like it, and I don't really want to start over.
Get a debian logo instead of Cinnamon's default logo.
why?
