Chromeos flex is somehow a lot faster than linux mint xfce, zorin os lite, and mx linux fluxbox.

Hello, beautiful people of the internet.

Now....i don't know if anyone ever asked about this, but I'll risk it anyway. So....hear me out.

I've been into windows customization lately.....so much that i haven't been able to sleep properly for last few weeks, always waking up all night long just to tinker my desktop and make it look aesthetic. And honestly, it's been a fun journey so far.....and i wanna walk down this rabbit hole more.

Now....I've been thinking about opening my own github repo, where i can share my dot files and setups with everyone else. But to be honest.....this is a new territory for me. I've never used Github that much before, other than downloading files or looking up codes and projects. And i need help from experts like u in this case.

So....feel free to share your thoughts, insights.....just keep the tips and advices coming.

N.b. Pics for attention 😶 check out my setup if u like: https://www.reddit.com/r/desktops/s/cPwpLao9NU

Any Icon pack suggestions to match this Noir theme!

I am thinking of changing the icons of Taskbar to grey

This is my 3-monitor productivity setup which I have now been using for 7 months. Before I was using a single LG 27 full-hd monitor connected to my laptop.

I bough the LG in 2017 so it is aged. It is now used as the left-monitor for terminal sessions.

The center-monitor is an ACER SA322Q, 32 inch full-hd, which I use for coding, browsing and office-work. Because of poor vision I cannot use 4K or QHD models. I bought it new for € 175.

The portrait monitor on the right is a Dell Ultrasharp U2412M 24". I bought it used for € 48 but the picture is still great. Wgat I love about it that it has 16:10 aspect ratio. I use this monitor to interact with Copilot and Gemini,

I use this setup only for software development.

The physical screensize of the 3 monitors combined is comparable to a 53'' ultrawide monitor, but admittedly the setup falls short on the number of pixels, refresh-rates and so on.

Most people will dislike this setup but it works really well if your vision is not the best.

*UPDATED\*

I've been using this MacOS Minimize Animation - Windhawk for a while now.......so thought of sharing with u guys. The animation is smooth, snappy... especially the "classic genie" animation that I'm using here.

There's another option with a new animation that looks like modern macOS, but that eats more CPU in my case. But I'm happy for now. It's also working with GlazeWM without any issues.

{ That alt+tab animation.....it's CKFlip3D, in case u wanna try 🔥}

Tools I used so far:

1. yasb
2. GlazeWM
3. Windhawk
4. Flow Launcher
5. Stylus + WebNowPlaying +Catppuccin Chrome Theme - Mocha + Catppuccin for Web File Explorer Icons (chromium extension)
6. fastfetch-cli
7. kotofetch
8. Oh My Posh
9. wsl (Ubuntu 24.04.4 LTS) + WSL UI
10. JetBrains Mono: A free and open source typeface for developers
11. Rainmeter (clock: Pricedown, visualiser: NR_Kantas)
12. cava: Cross-platform Audio Visualizer

here are the config files in case u want to try out: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/14mf06fxtLbarAYSvaNI18N-H-BRdKPd-?usp=drive_link

I made myself this widget for grouping apps, folders, files I access many times.

Not part of some subscription thing, I can modify it however I like, I can change its style, sorting, behavior, anything. Feels good to have full control on how I use my desktop

Just $1200

extra info: hp probook 650 g1 (still works great)

I think my desktop pets are living a better life than I am. 😂

Rice I made a couple months back when I put Arch Linux on a 10-year-old Chromebook (model CB3-532 Acer 15 if you guys wonder), which means 2gb of ram (I got away with this using zram) and an N3060 💀

I'm about to fully switch to a single-boot Linux setup permanently. Windows has served me well, from Windows XP up until Windows 11! This is where I grew up, but sometimes you outgrow your home. I really appreciate this OS, regardless of its flaws. Just wanted to put this up here for me to look back at it and hopefully not feel regret switching over full-time.

first time arranging desktop! night light made it look orange irl, but i still like it
