Share Your Desktop [2025]

New to endeavourOS :stuck_out_tongue:

Wanted to create peaceful desktop without too much hassle, so no folder view or anything like that. Just two panels from which one acts like a dock. Although I like icon sets, I settled this time to Breeze Dark.

I have only 14โ€ screen on my laptop, so that sets some restrictions on my layout (which is the reason I usually end up into desktop looking something like this). :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes: :laptop:

Iโ€™m guessing hereโ€ฆthis was the memorex ad from the 80โ€™s?

memories

I love the sparse dock and you leave the taskbar to do all the heavy liftingโ€“nice.

nice wall!

Thanks! :purple_heart:

@drunkenvicar, close. The other tape companyโ€ฆ Maxell . And a bit of history regarding this iconic ad; the man in the chair is Peter Murphy of Bauhaus.

dang maxell! close.

great fun fact. hard to believe they got a goth band front man for this (his โ€˜cuts you upโ€™ one of the best singles ever). Itโ€™s it iconic and it is legend. I remember a Jackass clip where they duplicated this behind a jet engine down to the chair and tie..

An update using @dirn yet-another-monochrome-icon-set and @Noodly Logo in fastfetch.


I only know maxell brand for itโ€™s 5 inch floppy disk, didnโ€™t know that it produce cassette as well.

I canโ€™t seem to get a clean and tidy desktop, โ€œLinux-style,โ€ like I see here or around the web. :rofl:

I canโ€™t get rid of desktop icons for my convenience. A lot of people donโ€™t like this, from what Iโ€™ve seen around (not here, but elsewhere). It looks too much like โ€œWindows,โ€ is what Iโ€™m told. I reply that I use the desktop however I want, even if itโ€™s less attractive to look at (it actually is), or it looks too much like Windows (and since I mainly use KDE, it doesnโ€™t help XD).

But itโ€™s something Iโ€™ve carried over from Windows and I canโ€™t get rid of it. Honestly, I donโ€™t even know if I want to get rid of it (at least this one). XD

Yeah, itโ€™s totally up to you how you want to use itโ€”if you like having icons on your desktop, go for it.

Personally, even on my Windows setup, I remove all shortcut icons. I just prefer a clean, uncluttered desktopโ€”but thatโ€™s just me. :slight_smile:

Welcome to the forum @Flaymer :slightly_smiling_face:

back when i used to have desktop icons (on windows) i always used to integrate them to the background.
somewhat like this:

if you need to have them, do it right and be super creative

I love the fourth wallpaper with the Internet Explorer icon! :stuck_out_tongue:

My latest wallpaper on Linux Hub running openbox window manager.

wow, very nice fastfetch config, can you share it please?

itโ€™s funny how we outgrow that. loved the clutter and the world at my fingertips back then now I really donโ€™t want to see anything but the dock and the wallpaper.
