Seeing lots of discord on these. Anyone else like me and have to install updates to it a couple times a week from the package manager before it will open? I also notice it seems to close itself after a while, I think if the computer sleeps then wakes.

No, I normally don't use emacs as browser.

More or less replicated the desktop layout I had used throughout childhood, sans desktop icons

• Debian 12 stable
• XFCE + Chicago95
• Chicago95 black cursors
• Helvetica bitmap font
• Not shown: wdm login and slock screen locker
• Running on an X230T with classic keyboard mod to complete the look

If i wanted to use MacOS, i'd just use my macbook

anyways, my linux looks like standard mint... coz im a linux noob

I am a simple person, GNOME on Fedora 39 with AppIndicator extension and I haven't even changed the desktop background (though other times I have used Bliss as my background)

Debian with KDE. I've had this set up on my laptop for a few weeks to see how well Debian stable would work as a daily driver with Flatpaks and/or Nix packages mixed in. I'm really liking it so far, so I'll probably migrate my desktop over to a pretty similar set up soon. Right now it looks pretty similar visually, but is running Fedora 39.

I have a custom animated shader as my desktop background

Currently, I have 3 DEs installed that I use regularly. Cinnamon, i3, and Unity. Cinnamon is for retro themes, and Unity is for a modern mac look after tweaks. and i3 is just nerd porn

I use gnome with dash-to-panel. I can't do docks or top bars.

I'm on pop os with gnome but using dash-to-panel to get a more classic Taskbar look. I love that extension and seems extremely well supported even across upgrades, it's so good I donated. Maybe I'll add a screenie later.

As for op's pic, I understand liking a particular setup, but to use their proprietary icons too seems strange to me. To each their own, I guess. I thought it was literally a mac on a Linux /c.
