Somehow this image reminds me of Gravity Falls. I miss the show.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

What that needs is a smoke animation that starts as soon as your core temps get too high.

app bar on side suits the look well

Looks very nice! Just don't use Brave
Agreed, Helium is the better Chromiun browser anyway. I use Firedragon myself.
Desktop looks like my desk pad
I’m a simple man. I see Debian, I upvote.
Is that Xfce?
🙂No this is this Cinnamon Desktop but I have used XFCE before very good.
Cinnamon on Debian? Most excellent.

Doesn’t matter! What do you think?
Spooky wallpaper, though!
i almost went cinnamon when i set up my trixie here last month, but went plasma because of some kwin addons. i did install its nemo, though, for when i need a file manager that doesn't choke on thumbnails (like dolphin does) when an extension doesn't match what the file actually is (like a lot of images served by web sites and saved by a browser these days)
Very nice. I love Cinnamon. I use the Eleganse theme, I'm a sucker for transparency.
Horizontal distance > vertical.
Yep, but at the same time free horizontal space > free vertical.
Depends on how many apps you use in your workflow at once.
I certainly got to enjoy the vertical bar. Feels more natural to me, like bookmarks.
the panel on the side. it just makes sense--if you can get 'used to' it.
screens are wider than they are tall, but most content viewed by or worked on by most people goes vertical: web sites and text documents. hell, even most pictures and video people take these days, too, because they still don't know enough to rotate their damn phones.
To me, it came naturally at some point. I just tried it for the lulz - and ended up staying.

Why not both?
Top or bottom task bars make the most sense, imo.
did you ever see unity on ubunut? reminds me of that, but w a better color palette.

digging the vibe.
can you share the wallpaper, please? :)
Found it by looking up dark mode Firewatch wallpapers.
Edit: Didn’t find higher resolutions of this specific one. But here are slightly different but higher resolutions variants: https://imgur.com/a/jvkoP
And the second one in this list

Nice cinnamon.
Will that run on Ubuntu next to unity, switching with something like lightdm?
you can add it, and switch at login. there's a cinnamon spin of ubuntu, so packages are in the repos. you'll also find meta packages assembled by both ubuntu and debian that will install what their respective 'full desktop experience' has (browser, libreoffice, utilities, and what-not).
Quite similar to my setup, except mine is based on KDE (yours seems to be Cinnamon), and I have a slightly wider vertical bar with a little more spacing between elements.
Good job!
Hell yeah, I don't see a lot of people rocking Debian but I like it. I'm more of a KDE Plasma guy myself but cinnamon is also great
i just switched back to debian for personal desktops after years of mint (and a few others). i'm using intel cards right now.. drivers are a total non-issue.. so that helps some, not having to deal with nvidia drivers. games are running great on stable kernel and drivers (heroic flatpak for launcher and wine).
