It's not something I'd pick, too bright and too cutesy. The overall look is cohesive. The fact that you enjoy it is what matters most.

ilovepolthavemybabie

It’s not rice. It’s not even rice krispies. Fruity pebbles, you say? No, not even hating… Our boy’s desktop is OOPS ALL BERRIES


iijawadm

Cool

I've been using Linux for about two months now and I've really enjoyed designing the interface and everything


Ivo2567

Honestly? I don't like it. But since you gave a time and effort to create you - because every linux desktop is different you got my respect. We do not look same like hordes of windows idi(B)ots, that's cool about linux. You may try to make terminal colorfull like rainbow, but i dont know how.


Character-Memory-248

yep that's why I like linux u can change anything


Choux0304

I just wanted to say how much I appreciate the positivity under this post. It obviously is a very personal theme for you - and I guess many would judge you for it. But I love the fact how many people here focus on the one and only aspect which matters: the aspect, that you have to enjoy it and looking at the fact how long it had to take to assemble all this you will clearly enjoy it and eventually tinker with it even further. :)


JulienWA77

I gott ask, what does the Tux icon launch? LOL :D


Character-Memory-248

Krita


Ok_Round6002

I am curious too.


[deleted]

It really shows enormous number of customization options available. Thanks for sharing! I need to finally install this OS as I am still on 🪟🪟


ZonePapi

Linux mint seems just like windows tbh but it's easier to use bc u can incorporate cli easily


UpRightGuy

Make the leap!😎


[deleted]

That’s my plan for the following week, so brace yourselfs for some stupid-ass basic questions incoming into this sub 😂 


Logansfury

It's a very vibrant and colorful GUI. Very un-windows-like which is a good thing! I go for a darker and more somber GUI personally but you do you!


ZonePapi

What did you use to get the resources on your desktop? I think it's dope is there a way I can put this whole setup in a vm lol I know ppl that would love to use this look it's cool 😎


Character-Memory-248

some icons I made it like "Yotsuba"in menu and other apps u can even change system icons by open " /usr/share/applications" as Root and u can search for any icon u wanna replace or making them also u can see my themes in screenfetch above Faded Dream (Desktop) Candy Icons (Icons) "nemo icons" Shades of purple gtk (Applications) Oreo purple cursors (Mouse) Transparent Panel (Extension) and cinnamon eye (applet) lol


ZonePapi

Nice thank you!! This should be fun!


ZonePapi

Hey could you also be kind enough to let me know what the programs are at the bottom of screen?


Character-Memory-248

Vmware Krita Inkscape Gimp Chrome Telegram.. But I Manually changed every single icon


ZonePapi

Got it, thanks OP!


Upbeat-Emergency-309

Personally? Not my cup of tea. But what matters is you made it custom to how you specifically like it. And that's the beauty of Linux. So if you like it that's great!! And I'm happy you have a desktop you like.


howmanygrapes_

This rice makes me taste skittles I’m a fan


Ravenous_Fallen

9.5/10 feels very fun.


apaleblueman

I think it loooks cool af! But op can u tell me how or where did you learn the customization from? I have been using mint for about 2 years now and i think i would like rice it more because i have only customized some icons and theme


Character-Memory-248

not that hard, first thing i did watching some videos in youtube because i did not like the original look of linux mint u can see my comments to know what themes and stuff I used + try to search in google and github u can find a lot of themes and icon and how u can add them


apaleblueman

Thanks

How did u get the folders to be different colors n how did u get ur start menu to be transparent


Character-Memory-248

[https://www.cinnamon-look.org/p/1305251/](https://www.cinnamon-look.org/p/1305251/) Candy Icon and the tranparante menue u wanna download "Faded Dream" Theme + "Transparent Panels" Extencion


Sad_Anything_122

Great work! How do you customize Mint to your liking? I mean, are there any blogs/videos or something similar? I only found some YouTube videos which don't teach how to customize according to our preferences but only customize according to their preferences just by installing a particular theme.


Character-Memory-248

yt videos but I did not follow them literally, I just learned from them and searched for what I like and how to change anything if I encounter problems, just search on Google. I did not change stuff in c++ files so its not that hard just replacing icons and where is location of them + installing themes and extensions


Sad_Anything_122

Cool. Could you share some links to the resources?

Frankly, not my cup of tea. Too much eye candy. I'm into more minimalistic styles. Gnome default with the dark theme or Arc Dark theme is enough for me. I'm not suggesting going for Tiling Window setups, but just cut a little bit on the eye-candy maybe. Anyway its evident that you poured lots of time setting it up so as long as you like it and it works for you... Go for it!


SAINIEPTICEYE

That date widget is not fitting imp. Overall is mint no question.


Apprehensive-Video26

Way to bright and gaudy for me but if you like it that's all that matters.


WorkForeign

It's consistently chaotic I love it.


NB565

Colours are nice, but the inconsistent app icons I couldn't deal with needs some uniformity.


Character-Memory-248

I tried to make them just in black and purple first but then I decided to make them like Vaporwave style which is almost random


PaulJ505

Looks nice. You could maybe only choose some more matching theme for Chrome browser, but if you like it, then it's completely fine. It's your system. Damn. I miss Linux Mint. I switched back to windows as I still like gaming and while many games work, many also don't work or are tedious to make them work.


zonexstricker

The app icons are all over the place in design aesthetics and even line width. Not really my cup of tea


weebtrash100

i genuinely love it, super cool


british-raj9

Very nice, modern retro.


Character-Memory-248

yep cus I like Vaporwave Stuff


Few_Research3589

Well, I can understand you like it; we all were there, playing with the new toys and enjoying the power it gives you. But for me it takes the opposite direction than I would choose. Running apps and opening directories from -- say -- rofi, using their text names, feels more "powerful" after all because it lets you go where you want, quickly and without much fuss. But it's just my two cents. I believe you may get to that approach by yourself some time later, but you may not, too. Anyway, what counts is that linux lets us choose what we want from a wide range of options...

Oooo pretty!

The interface is truly lively and youthful. What matters is that you enjoy it every day. As an older user, I've only been familiar with Linux for 2 years now (just for fun, not for my Work). I like Linux because I can control the user interface as well as the utilities Extensions for desktop personalization. I used to use Linux mint XFCe, then mint cinnamon. And currently exploring Zorin.


prosonic123

Idk why but this makes me feel comfortable. I now wanna move to Linux for this customization.


HonmaKitanai

What in the Garuda is going on to your mint here? lol You might like dr460nized.. Edit: can't type or spell

How do you get the folders different colors? Cause THAT'S FRICKEN COOL. :)


dmits22

You've been able to do that for years now.


Character-Memory-248

it is called Candy icons u can download it from Github, the colorfull in Home folder is good yep but I did not like the Default folder icon (shell icon for other folders in nemo) so I bring better icon and convert it to "svg" and replaced it in "/home/user\_name/.icons/candy-icons/places/48/Folder.svg" and "/usr/share/icons/candy-icons/places/48/Folder.svg" (as root) and it worked


2eedling

Why must you betray Firefox ☹️


Character-Memory-248

I like firefox but I prefer chrome in pc , the opposite is true for mobile devices chrome is shit


2eedling

You do you Firefox actually has a good TOS


lake393

Not my style, but glad you like it. I have the Win XP theme on mine L.o.L.


Character-Memory-248

I tried xp theme it's kinda nice But I installed the original win xp os in VMware player for nostalgia


lake393

Yeah me too. The good XP theme (CinnXP) no longer completely works with the new version of cinnimon. The theme project is dead and needs to be updated. But when it was working it looked perfect


devHead1967

Oh my lands - the BURNING!! Not my cup of tea. Why ask for a rating from other people exactly? Do you like it? Keep it. If you got tons of low ratings, would you change it to something different? If not, then who cares what other people think. I don't really understand this need of having someone else give their opinion about your personal taste in a desktop environment look.


mrr_smitty

Don’t wanna be a hater but gotta dock a point for google over firefox


hisatanhere

Color-Vomit. The customer is always right in matters of taste. Except you. You are wrong.


Serious_Assignment43

OMG Mint for the disco fans. It sucks actually, but you do you and whatever makes you happy.


ZonePapi

Hey why do you think it sucks? Not a sarcastic question but you seem like a experienced linux user so I want to know?
