🛠 Community Rules for !LinuxBeauty

Stay on topic: Only content related to making Linux look good. Themes, DE/WM setups, terminal aesthetics, icons, wallpapers, ricing tools — that’s what we’re here for.
If it's NSFW then tag NSFW: this includes explicit, sexual, or suggestive content, wallpapers, anime pinups, or anything borderline.
Linux only: This community is for Linux. No Windows/macOS setups. BSD is fine if it looks like a Linux setup and fits the vibe.
No spam or self-promotion: No affiliate links, crypto junk, or irrelevant plugs. If you’re sharing your own project (like a theme), make sure it’s actually useful and related.
Be respectful: No toxicity, trolling, or bad online attitude. This is a place to appreciate, not tear people down.
No meme or joke posts: This isn’t the place for memes, jokes, or off-topic humor. Post them on !linuxmemes.
No AI-generated posts: All posts must be based on real setups or actual theming work. No fake screenshots or AI mockups unless clearly labeled and still related to Linux visuals.
English only: For clarity and accessibility, all posts and comments must be in English.

A Nobara Linux Desktop running KDE Plasma 6 with system stats using a vaporwave color scheme on the left, a drop-down terminal named Yakuake showing neofetch, a completely borderless browser window showing a Deezer web app on the center bottom, and weather and audio widgets on the right. The desktop background is animated with a wallpaper engine plugin, showing a cyberpunk city with the silhouettes of a few people rummaging through a giant heap of tech scraps, with one figure standing on top and looking into the bright city lights. Light fog is moving over the scene while it rains.

Real question: do ppl actually see their desktops? I usually have a browser window up or an application

I work with 5 virtual desktops, i keep one of them blank just for that reason! I can switch using only my mouse - i have a modifier key on it, that plus the horizontal axis of the mouse wheel is for switching virtual desktops :-)

I love Yakuake. If you head to the Yakuake settings, head to the Appearance tab and click Select New Skins, the Tabs Only skin would match your aesthetics perfectly. Its my favorite one. It does remove your settings button, but you can get back in with Ctrl-Shift-Comma if you decide you don't like it.

I really love Yakuake too and will keep it forever.

I'd like to get a little more..."dextrous" with it? But there's a problem lol. It's so very immediately convenient with no effort involved at all that my brain kinda refuses to consider complicating it.

Literally pressing F12 to go in and out at will, and that's it - that's the entire learning curve I've engaged with lol.

I don't even know what else it might do beyond tabs. Not even hotkeys. It's too (blissfully) easy to use, it ceases to be a layer in my brain entirely, I think.

I love it as a terminal to use to run background processes when I need them. For example, I use it for lowfi, a CLI app that plays lo-fi in your terminal. I can get into Kitty just as fast with Rofi.

Alt-Space, "kit", and enter. Boom. Its up in the same amount of time it would have taken me to move my hand to F12. Then I do my updates, grabbing packages, running my file manager, etc.

Hell yeah, nice. My fav in and out is for whatever annoying thing or whatever I'm actually working on, especially be it a CICD pipeline or similar, I end up just F12 and just curl cht.sh/name-of-cmd for quick vetted (?) usage examples of tons of stuff.

Didn't know about lofi, cool!

You are right, thats's nicer :--) i didn't realize there are downloadable skins for Yakuake, thanks!
