looks pretty cool
app bar on side suits the look well
wallpaper looks cool (i personally wouldnt use something so contrasting)

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.
Very nice. I love Cinnamon. I use the Eleganse theme, I’m a sucker for transparency.
Clean and comfy, very appealing to see!
Doesn’t matter! What do you think?
Spooky wallpaper, though!
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
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
Looks clean. Digging the Firewatch wallpaper
Thanks.

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
Nice cinnamon.
Will that run on Ubuntu next to unity, switching with something like lightdm?
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.
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
This. Mods, can we please ban posts like this here?
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.
90% servers (of users there) is also not what we want, right?
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.
I love seeing that stuff too! I tried it a long time ago on Windows with Rainmeter. Got one looking like Persona theming and another with Calvin and Hobbes. May try to get back into it now that I’m on Linux.
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…
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.
digging the vibe.
can you share the wallpaper, please? :)
Found it by looking up dark mode Firewatch wallpapers.
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
