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.

Hour after I come to this, I'm loving it. She modified it so it retains original kde look but has enough tiny details to keep it interesting. She says she'll resume the work tomorrow 🫑

You’re gonna need to do a lot of Bent Leg Body Twists to unfuck your spine after using this setup lmao the angulation of these monitors is intense

My spine is already fucked by years of programming so no worries there mate.

I think it's very nice to have a sibling who's interested in Linux just like you are.

Well the best thing about it is that she wouldn't even touch linux before this. She's primarily a mac user. But after I dragged her to see my desktop modifications, after 10 eye rolls, she said she could do much better job than me.

Hours later she was still at it, hairs scattered, baffled looking... saying how could someone live with so many choices lol.

The good thing out of this was that now she's starting to see the point of linux after all these years.

Please keep us updated about how this is going to work out in the future.

I second this. It would be really nice to know.

Oh man I relate to this so hard hahaha...

Do everything you can to try to preserve those settings, because you will need to do a clean install at some point (well maybe not, I'm sure it depends on your distro), and you're gonna lose all of it.

The power of KDEs customizability is lost of dumb dumbs like me with no sense of user experience. She however seems like the type that can use every bit of it. I love the vibe!

Very pretty! Mind sharing the wallpaper?

Here you go: https://store.kde.org/p/1425082 Go into the file tab to get the images.

I'd love to know what font was used for the big "Saturday" there!

[–] SaveMotherEarthEDF@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Okay had to dig into it but found it. It's called Anurati font.

[–] hikaru755@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago
