With the introduction of Gnome Shell in 2011, the Gnome developers decided desktop icons were tacky and got rid of them. There are some extensions to bring them back, but the Gnome developers are just and righteous in their arbitrary design tyranny.

The dictatorship of the GNOME Human Interface Guidelines (HIG) has given us the most beautiful desktop environment but also the most controversial.

Awful lot of Windows in this thread. Let me contribute. Yes, there are no icons because I didn't bother configuring it to display those, and I think it looks prettier that way.

history nerd shit

For the history nerds, I couldn't verify the picture with 100% certainty, but I'm pretty sure it's a picture from the control room in the Obninsk Nuclear Power Plant, the first grid-connected nuclear power plant in history (source 1, source 2).

It's possible that it's another power plant with a similar control panel. I'm not sure who the scientist are. Some sources I saw mention Igor Kurchatov as one of the scientists, but there's a whole myth about him never shaving his beard (which neither scientist pictured have) that I didn't bother to verify. Besides being in this project, Kurchatov helped build the first Soviet atomic bomb, and has a whole array of things named after him, notably the Kurchatov Institute.

In 1957 he received the Lenin Prize and four times the Stalin Prize and the State Prize of the USSR (1942, 1949, 1951, 1954). He was the hero of socialist work three times (1949, 1951, 1954).

2 years and 50+ different distributions have culminated in a Bazzite Ublue install that I am neither over excited nor overly annoyed about. I will never go back to GNOME though.

[-] Llituro@hexbear.net 19 points 9 months ago

oh, that's fine, i've watched an international student stream his anime titty background to tenured faculty while pulling up slides for science research before. my linux having ass is just more shocked at the usage of a desktop with shortcuts on it. just feels too cluttered for me now.

[-] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 11 points 9 months ago

I'm just old and used to shortcuts on windows lol

Nobara 39 with KDE Plasma :)

I have a ton of wallpapers rotating every 2 hours, so I'll chain comment with a few more screenshots, because I absolutely love some of the wallpapers I have and I want you comrades to see. I only took screenshots of drawn wallpapers, but I do have some nice brutalist ones and a lot of space and Arcane ones too.

The game icon is so that Mrs. ButtBidet can find her game without messing around with Steam and Linux.
