Welcome! [Why this sub exists]
r/UnixPorn has inspired a lot of creativity in the *nix community.
However, there is one problem.
A lot of the setups are too "riced-out" and unappealing for long-term desktop use.
This subreddit is an attempt to form a community around the love of practical, cozy, and solid desktop experiences.
DEFAULTS AND MINIMALLY-CONFIGURED SETUPS WELCOME! Let's create something special!
Rules:
- Screenshots of desktops must have at least one window open. You may include a screenshot of your blank desktop if necessary as an additional image in the album.
- Image links should either be from Imgur or reddit's built-in image service. Please don't use the Imgur album link unless you are posting an album.
- Text posts are allowed as long as they are relevant to creating a functional *nix setup. Try to post to support forums and desktop-specific subreddits instead whenever possible.
- Follow the reddiquette
- Right now only *nix (Linux, BSD (That includes Mac OS)) operating systems are allowed. This is open for discussion though.
- Moderators can be wrong. Don't hesitate to message the mods if your post has been wrongfully deleted.
Content Ideas:
- Screenshots of a unique workflow for a specific task
- ex. A desktop optimized for pen testing that has easy access to all of your tools.
- ex. A desktop that you use graphic design with an easy-to-access color picker widget and Krita opened
- Screenshots with beautiful software that ties in nice with your desktop
- Regular screenshots of your every-day setup!
- A short screencast of how you implement a given environment (DE, tilling windows manager, terminal multiplexer or even just your text editor) This idea came from u/piotr_wonsz
- A photograph of your rig running Linux (Must have screen clearly visible and not glared out).
- Ex. Raspberry Pi running a Nextcloud server and your Laptop right next to it with the Nextcloud page loaded on your web browser
- Ex. Two project computers of yours comunicating through a socket application you wrote - I plan to do this, patent pending, patent pending, patent pending!
- Ex. Your music production setup with MIDI devices hooked up to your computer and Bitwig Studio for Linux on your screen.
- An album of a desktop environment with different GTK/Qt themes applied
UPDATE: I am now moderating this community as u/dougie-io.

My Debian gaming TV setup. I've tried so many DEs, but I always go back to Cinnamon. Already used Mint, but there were display issues that made gaming hard. People who say you can't game on normal Debian are cowards

🗡️ Samurai-themed lock screen — kanji password glyphs & dark katana aesthetic
https://reddit.com/link/1vogwoa/video/4pxw4jvv5ejh1/player
Lockscreen: hyprlock
Dotfiles / Config: hyprlock-samurai on GitHub
Hey everyone! I put together a minimal, samurai-themed config for Hyprlock.
I got tired of standard password dots, so I customized it to render the Japanese kanji character 春 (Haru — Spring) on each keypress.
Key Features:
- Custom Kanji password glyphs (
春) - Fully transparent floating input field
- Japanese date formatting (
YYYY年MM月DD日) - Minimal dark green / katana aesthetic
Check out the repo if you'd like to try it, and drop a ⭐ on GitHub if you like the look!

[sway] Sick of scattered scripts? Terminal Control Center
Got sick of creating small scripts. Created one central script to rule them all. (fullscreen toggle) Windowswitcher+launcher+session restore+powermenu+wifi+bt+mediacontrols+system controls+system info all in one. TUICC is made out of small modules. I can move them around, resize them and add, delete them as I please. https://github.com/Lshika-linux/tuicc Do you guys like how it looks? Controls are just simple tab+shifttab and enter..
