Distro - xubuntu Dock - Plank Theme - fluent-round-Dark Icons - Papirus-dark

I also have ulauncher installed but it closed every time I tried to screenshot

This is all, I’m a beginner, laugh if you want, the theme doesn’t work with some apps like KDE connect but it’s alright I guess

    Instead of laugh, I’ll clap because it looks pretty good. We all start somewhere, and this ain’t bad at all

      Thanks, I honestly had a lot of fun doing stuff like this, I originally wanted to install Linux because my pc is a potato but with how windows is going I’ll just keep using Linux

    Maybe this is a problem with my setup, but though I do see a dekstop in the thumbnail, clicking the link takes me to an r/funny post. Could you upload your screenshot in a comment here? @skqweezy@lemm.ee

    I’m interested what it looks like, since AFAIK, XFCE is still the desktop environment to install on old potato-specd machines. But it’s a lot harder to get it to look good than stuff like KDE, and Gnome

      Wouldn’t call it harder, exactly (then again, I’m most familiar with XFCE, so kinda biased here lol) since most everything is grouped together either in the settings menu or panel prefrences, and you can just drag and drop whatever you downloaded from xfce look to the desktop apperance and icon list to add them to spice up your desktop, whereas in KDE, which I love, don’t get me wrong. It’s a tinkerer’s paradise, the settings for X, Y, and Z are kinda all over the place

      Idk why but it doesn’t let me send the image in a comment here, if you want you can look at the image I uploaded to Reddit

        It depends on your instance I believe. I’m on Lemmy.ml, and while it does let me upload on posts, I gotta brute force it at times

          Yeah, it wasn’t probably the best idea to pick randomly but oh well, can’t switch now ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

            You can switch instances but you won’t actually migrate the account and, instead, you’ll have to make a new one from scratch. Hopefully in the future Lemmy will have account migration to other instances.

    What’s nice about XFCE is you know you’ll have a consistent desktop for years. Although they hid transparency of the panel color which is kinda weird to me lol.
