>>108824050Pic sauce?
>>108824058filename says about all that's needed
>>108824050Why do 90% of Linux users copy Windows theming?
>>108824206Because it used to look good and people want it back
>>108824217I am autistic, yes.
>>108824237Me too brah, personally I don't use these themes but I do see the appeal
>>108824206i have two reasons for that. the first one is that since my early days i have been fond of windows ui/ux from 2000s, i still remain to be fond of it, it has allured me, old windows ricing has allured me equally as much and still does, i miss pre-2015 windows ricing. the second one is i hated flat design and even long before i switched to linux i found myself ricing my system to look like windows xp, windows vista or windows 7 (like picrel, this one is the last windows setup i ever had before i switched to debian and then arch last year, which i use to this day, it was a windows 10 ltsc)
>>108824050Pretty well :)
>>108824050Doing okay. What about you?
>>108824206I'm all up for retro themes including XP but Windows Aero ricing is just horrible. They were ugly even back then.
>>108824050Has there ever been a windows desktop screenshot that did not look exactly like all other windows desktops with a different wallpaper? Like what are you even sharing?
>>108824610>>108824658okayish on my end, glad to hear its great for both of y'alls>>108824749i dunno, i may be biased cause i grew up with warez windows xp installs and always rocked this particular theme cause i liked it so much, i was particularly fond of vista's aesthetic even if i have never used real vista itself because of this
Why the weird, freaky, sexual wallpapers? Don't you people have any self respect?
>>108824206I booted up a laptop old enough that I was surprised it run, that run windows 7. As much as I will glaze linux theming, windows 7 is fucking awesome! The laptop also run it better than a modern computer running windows 10/11
>>108824763>Like what are you even sharing?honestly? its cannon fodder. ive been pretty content so far, if you don't feel the need to go any further, then you've reached nirvana. in a way i am also limited too, aerothemeplasma guys didn't really finish working on msstyle support (in fact, it's still very early), i want to use those windows 7 msstyles so much, i missed those.>>108824775while i don't really consider my wallpaper sexual, i tell you that as a matter of fact i do not have any self respect.>>108824825don't i wish i could turn back time, eh? i once tried to install windows 7 on my current laptop for shits and giggles, it did show the boot screen but it got stuck, damn you uefi class 3 standards.>As much as I will glaze linux themingthere isn't much to glaze about modern ricing in general lol, ricing died since 2015 in my opinion. i will tell you old windows ricing was the best, i don't care how good linux is right now, nothing beats windows xp ricing
>>108824658I tried Plama on Artix and it has a ton of broken visuals if not using Wayland have you ran into anything like that or is this just a me issueFor example panel and terminal transparency is broken. And the Oxygen Plasma theme only renders the top half of the panel.
Full icon suite for Linux that doesn't suck? Anybody?
>>108824864I kinda like where we are actually. You can still turn your desktop to whatever you want pretty much. The only issue is most prefer flatshit, which may be consistent but is also a bit bland and souless >don't i wish i could turn back time, eh? i once tried to install windows 7 on my current laptop for shits and giggles, it did show the boot screen but it got stuck, damn you uefi class 3 standards.It sucks that even local software cant be permanent lol>>108824928papirus is nice imo
>>108825014Would guess most user-made themes are flatshit for the same reason as everything else. Much easier to make. It's near impossible to find anything that isn't flat, that isn't a clone of another OS, and has been updated recently enough to not have issues on current desktops.
>>108825014Yeah but Papirus is material/flat shit, just like you said in the above mention. I wanted something with more soul.
>>108824925Could be down to your hardware or something else. I actually stopped having issues moving OFF Wayland.
>>108825194Are you on XLibre or the original X11? I switched to Artix right after XLibre was made the default.
>>108824050hi frens
>>108824050I have Leyley fatigue.
>>108825014>>108825170>Would guess most user-made themes are flatshit for the same reason as everything else. Much easier to make.bingo, that's why (in my opinion) ricing died, people just aren't even trying anymore.>>108825230'ello there, how's your day been?>>108825242honestly, i think the april 2026 update brought more bad than good to the coffin. i do not like the direction nemlei is going with these days, because of that i am starting to lose interest, all the while my best friend is gaining interest on the other hand. it's a shame, really, it was a great game from a story perspective, i loved it and i absolutely still love the absolute waifu that is ashley graves, and still will, she will remain in my heart for a long while.
>>108825307>'ello there, how's your day been?can't get no sleep :(
>>108825314i get the feeling, not fun
>>108824050>>108825242reject leyley return to tradition (helltaker)
>>108825213X11.
I played Stellar Blade all day and it was fucking great to work on another playthrough after a crazy busy year where I'd go months without playing anything at all.
>>108825213it's impressive how fast XLibre development went compared to wayland
>>108824772I appreciate themes like this for Windows XP, but I'll have to admit Aero didn't age that well.>>108825502Pretty cool.
>>108824050>Pale moon has a userscript manager that isn't outdated minimalist dogshit now Albeit a fork but better than nothing, can't seem to get XT (not the abandoned one) to work but eh>>108824206XP, Vista and 7 were Stylish while remaining simplistic, 8 was minimalist but i loved the tiles and how i was able to have 2 different wallpapers (annoying how they couldn't let us customize tiles tho) and 10 going back to tradition while mixing in 8 was the best thing they've done and felt like a final version of WIndows. I feel nothing with 11. I do want to use different unix on my main PC, just haven't gotten around to it yet.>>108824489Cute saibas>>108825370Cute face>>108825502Nice
>>108824050That's not a real windows 7
>>108826502Did you figure it out yourself, or did someone help you?
>>108826107>Cute saibasthanks. I hope the 3rd one becomes playable one day
>>108827060Last thread someone asked for pape but I didn't see it until thread was archived, so if same anon comes to this thread... Here you go, bud. Wasn't ignoring you, just didn't see your post.

>>108827067Much obliged
>>108824050you can theme windows 10/11 to look like older version of windows
>>108824050whats the standard for theming linux to look like w7 nowadays?
>>108828575how? windowblinds? lol
I'm tired of visual ricing, function > form
New second-hand thinkpad, chucked arch on it and made some basic changes. Will probably redo the whole thing at some point just very busy right now.(Now with pic included because I'm a moron)>>108827923Beautiful, can you share details/configs?>>108825542Cool.

Ok, I suppose - fiancee very mentally ill at the moment which sucks...kids not dealing with it well. Work is ok, way too many hours tho, should be at home.Finally got a desktop, shit tho it is for now, again after several years which is awesome, can post on /g/ once more! Fresh install and faffing around with partitions atm

>>108826107>I do want to use different unix on my main PC, just haven't gotten around to it yet.interested in bsd or somethin like solaris?>>108826589technically that would be me cause i put a terminal window with uname on it, just because dude's acting so smug about something i hint towards because i absolutely do not want to hide the fact that i in fact do not use windows (especially to normies like my cousin). personally i'd change all references to windows if i was arsed to that is>>108827243man, i just wish the parabola experiment of mine worked>>108828575i'm not an idiot as much as my presence in this board alone indicates, i have previously riced various windows versions to resemble 7, vista or even xp, accurately at that with as little jank as i can achieve with that shitheap. i have intended to switch to linux for a while now after dipping my toes in it about half a decade back and ending up really liking it, as well as me being increasingly pissed off with modern windows. the only times you are going to see me touch windows 11 are on someone else's computer, i used it myself at one point in 2022 and i hated it. since spring 2025 to this day, arch linux is the only operating system on my drive.@108829497>people here are actually that insecure
>>108830499i know nothing about fiancee's, only exes, really in a way i am jealous of you even if she's not feeling well mentally, cause you have someone at least. try supporting her however you can is my wild suggestion, but don't obsess over it, i made that mistake and that's how i have an ex in the first place
>>108830647aye, supporting her as best I can and its going as well as such things can...just tiring :(shes bipolar, 10yrs since her last episode, since november shes been manic w/paranoia and delusions. Will pass eventually...at least im keeping her out of hospital, she ended up getting sectioned on her earlier episodes when she was younger.Old desktops for shitngiggles since i can access my archives now
>>108828597Nice setup but mother fucker you have 64 GB of RAM and 2 GPU's in this economy ?
>>108830472xfce4 based as fuck.
>>108830819The 2 GPU's is a Fastfetch mishap, I tidied up my config now. I only have a single 3090, and the RAM is DDR4. Both were bought in February 2025 back when they were still affordable. Couldn't have chosen a better time to upgrade.
>>108830934You were really lucky. Nice setup what console do you use ?
>>108830965Windows Terminal, nothing too fancy. The color scheme is Dark+ with a darker background, so Visual Studio colors. The font is MxPlus IBM VGA 9x16 that you can get here:https://int10h.org/oldschool-pc-fonts/fontlist/

>>108830766well, good thing you're trying your best, hope the best goes for y'all too, the kids too.lovely old desktops, by the way, always nice to look at old desktops>>108830831i might switch to xfce with xfce-winxp-tc in the near future, despite the unfinished state it is in. ever since i laid my eyes on it i have always wanted to use it. these days i intend to contribute to it too, though i say all that but don't really do shit, may god give me strength to hold my word for it.>>108831114like your fetch colour scheme, and generally your kde setup, wallpaper, hell, i kind of want your wallpaper

>>108837773a lot of them, even under the tasty rice flair, are formulaic as shit, which is flat, tiling window manager slop. there is gold in a pile of bronze though, like this one i found here by some sargentredittor and a work in progress mac os 7 recreation in xfce by bliss_that_miss, i'm looking forward towards the latter personally

>>108839111why use helix when emacs and vim exist?
>>108830472pape?
>>108839165Looking into it because Helix doesn't require a carefully built config and plugin stack, needing to look for some sane defaults on ye olde StackOverflow and pulling packages from random internet repos or using those big ready made packaged ones like Doom emacs.For programming, I'd like a bloatless editor with a little more functionality than nano (like LSP support). When changing configs on remote devices and such, even vi is just fine.
Does anyone here use X11 or XLibre?
