i already posted my desktop here not too long ago but i change my theme/layout constantly so here it is again lol its kde plasma with a unity humanity theme (old ubuntu theme). id like to go all out on the old ubuntu theme and have my panel on the left side of the screen, but my brain can never get used a left side panel, plus then i cant have labels on my tasks with it on the side. plus plus such a layout doesnt work well on a multi monitor setup imo. the icons arent old ubuntu icons sadly, all of the humanity icon packs i can find online have the same problem of the system tray icons being a terrible grey on grey with my top panel. so instead im using the oxygen icons xP thats why i never tried theming anything while i was still using windows... it feels way too hacky. i really wish there was an official way to theme windows 10/11 (or atleast an option to use older official windows themes) but i guess microsoft just doesnt want to bother with it :c i dont see how allowing theming on windows could be bad in any way for microsoft or windows but whatever ig... im not using windows anymore anyway. still sad tho lol

having so many tabs open makes me feel like my brain is running slower when trying to find the specific tab im looking for so i usually dont have many open at once. i have 6 open right now. as soon as my tabs start having to squish to fit my screens width thats when i just open a new firefox window xP (though usually i dont like having more than 2 firefox windows open at once also...)

omg what an aMAZING TIME to come back onto the forums i LOVE linux ive been getting so into it since february of this year, replacing my windows os with linux. initially i started off using kde neon, but after some distro hopping, i landed on tuxedo os, which is basically just kde neon but stable. ill probably switch to debian trixie when that releases though, since thatll have plasma 6. anyways heres an obligatory screenshot of my desktop lol. i have a windows 7 theme over top it, and my wallpaper is a slideshow of random vrchat screenshots i have with me in them xP ive been tempted to try out arch linux aswell as a tiling window manager thing like hyprland for awhile now, but it all seems so much more involved. i get switching to linux already is a little more involved than just continuing to use windows, but everypony always makes out arch to be alot more advanced to learn and manual and stuff
