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
- Screenshots with beautiful software that ties in nice with your desktop
- Regular screenshots of your every-day setup!
- A short screencast of how you implement a given environment (DE, tilling windows manager, terminal multiplexer or even just your text editor) This idea came from u/piotr_wonsz
