Share how you use your *nix operating system and don't forget to include screenshots/pictures!
r/UnixPorn has inspired a lot of creativity in the *nix community. However, there is one problem. A lot of the setups are too "riced-out" and unappealing for long-term desktop use.
This subreddit is an attempt to form a community around the love of practical, cosy, and solid desktop experiences.

DEFAULTS AND MINIMALLY-CONFIGURED SETUPS WELCOME! Let's create something special!
Rules
- Screenshots of desktops must have at least one window open. You may include a screenshot of your blank desktop if necessary as an additional image in the album.
- Image links should either be from Imgur or reddit's built-in image service. Please don't use the Imgur album link unless you are posting an album.
- Follow the reddiquette
- Right now only *nix (Linux, BSD (That includes Mac OS)) operating systems are allowed. This is open for discussion though.
- Moderators can be wrong. Don't hesitate to message the mods if your post has been wrongfully deleted.
- Prefix your post properly
- No desktop/distro elitism
Following the r/UnixPorn tradition, please prefix your post title with square brackets and the name of your desktop environment or window manager inside.
Example:
[Cinnamon] Linux Mint has been a bliss so far!
Content Ideas
- Screenshots of a unique workflow for a specific task
- ex. A desktop optimized for pen testing that has easy access to all of your tools.
- ex. A desktop that you use graphic design with an easy-to-access color picker widget and Krita opened

[Hyprland] Finally switched to Wayland
Was using BSPWM before and tried Wayland multiple times but I always failed to get it to a stage where I was happy with it. Hyprland (and Wayland in general) is finally stable enough for all the programs that I need and I'm really happy with the overall experience I had configuring everything.

[GNOME] I recently realized that using the Kitty terminal in your DE is almost like using a tiling window manager within a desktop environment
- Best of both worlds
- No tmux required.
(Obviously I realize this only works with terminal windows and not other programs but that's good enough for me).

[Xfce] My simple setup for CG work
Hello everyone. I want to share my favorite setup.Most of the time I use Maya (that unfortunately dictates the theme you can't change) so I wanted to have a theme that is consistent with it. Old Linux Mint Aqua theme seems to fit pretty well, although the shade of blue is slightly different. Also, I made a few custom icons for CG software that follow the icon theme (you can see them on the bottom dock)
I also use a couple of scripts for Xfce panel by xtonousou. Specifically spotify-panel.sh and memory-panel.sh. Additionally, I use the "Dynamic workspaces" script by DimseBoms sometimes in combination with xfdashboard (started in daemon to make it faster and with the toggle option) which allows for a very flexible and fluent workflow with virtual desktops. I also often use Super key as the "Key used to grab and move windows" in Window Manager Tweaks which allows to move windows without having to aim for the titlebar or its' corner and do "Hide title of windows when maximised" which saves screen space when a window is maximised.
Thanks for your attention. Have a good day!
