Awesome desktops guys!

Mine is a bit messy; I've had to blur out my username, need to fix some browser related issues, anonymity and stuff, etc.

But overall I'm happy with it.

Can you post dots? I really want to try an IceWM setup like that, most of my older machines also use Devuan. I'd love to know more about your setup

>52579

Cool is that really still the real IE running lmao

>52591

Nice haiku theme and BSD. Would love to try something like that out sooner or later so let me know more about the setup :)

Well most things are in the neofetch :) The gtk theme should be in the ports I believe but I don't really remember anymore. The icons can be downloaded from pling.com and the e16 themes can be downloaded from github. The file manager is rox-filer, leafpad and ee as text editors, gpicview for photos, audacious for music, profanity for xmpp and hexchat for irc. Everything else that I use that I didn't bother including is either gtk2 or cli because I refuse to use anything else for the sake of consistency and of course keepassxc is the command line version.

KDE 2.2.2 on Debian 13. This port's been unmaintained since late 2021/2022 and was done originally by sandsmark. I've gotten it to compile recently, it's a bit buggy but otherwise does work as a desktop environment, though sadly the kde2-kdeutils module wasn't really ported with the exception of klaptopdaemond (or whatever it's called).

Old screenshot, it's my personal dwm build. I still have it, I just use KDE nowadays, but considering it'll drop X11 support soon™ I've been thinking of going back.

How do you make Linux look like Windows XP?
I know of a theme for xfce but I really dislike that DE
Also how do you make different programs look the same? VLC looks completely different than my web browser for example even with the same theme applied

I don't know about windows XP but for theme just have to use GTK applications (GTK2/3 is best with GTK2 preferred).

For these programs see:

It really sucks that you have to use older software on Linux just like you do on Windows if you want a good experience
Makes me wish for some kind of utilitarian software revolution

Nothing special for me, I'm just running on Arch Linux as I need to get some things done in my real world shit

I only have 2 OS' but loading Mint is just there for playing games and nothing else.

Here's my setup.
FVWM with a frankenstein ArchxGobo system. Might look a bit different in the screenshot but I have xsct set to 2500 so it looks redder to me. I like it.

HOW THE FUCK ARE YOU SUPPOSED TO DO WORK ON THIS WITHOUT A FUCKING TASKBAR?
HOW DO YOU PROGRAM AND MULTI-TASK WITHOUT A TASKBAR
YOU FUCKING CAN'T
I NEED TO HAVE 5 TERMINALS AN IDE 3 FILE EXPLORERS A BROWSER AND A TEXT VIEWER FOR DOCUMENTATION A CHAT CLIENT FOR EMOTIONAL SUPPORT FROM OTHER PROGRAMMERS AND YET ANOTHER TERMINAL TO COMPILE TO BUILD SERVER
THOSE WINDOWS CAN'T FUCKING FIT IN A WM WITHOUT A TASKBAR
I DO NOT WANT TO ROLL UP AND UNROLL EVERY FUCKING WINDOW JUST TO DO BASIC SHIT!!!

I took a lot of time to setup FVWM 2.2.5 (comes in base install on OpenBSD. It has the permissive license, newer versions use GPL) to try and make a setup that won't need me to install anything other than baseinstall on OpenBSD.

However, this FVWM version is so old that it doesn't support Xinerama and thus multi screen support is really shit.

Second image is of what I use when I don't cope about wanting no extra software. Might go back and cope by trying CWM again. Otherwise I do run DWM with 2 patches or so, stackaside and the separate bar and setups on the different "workspaces". Different workspace remembers different master/stack ratio

You can just use the workspaces? Keyboard shortcuts for this is 1284 faster than using the taskbar.
If anything it is mostly useful for the clock.

I got NetBSD running with graphics. Haven't had time to set it up more properly but I thought about copying my dotfiles from OpenBSD. However, I'm not sure how to set this up now since I kinda liked how the terminal just melted into the background.

If anyone have any input for me or some tips (preferably slick ones) considering I am a first time NetBSD user now, that'd be splendid. If no one has any tips or tricks then that's also splendid, as long as you enjoy yourself :D
