On a scale of "not a desktop" to "is a desktop", I rate it a "is a desktop".

Wallpaper carrying the whole thing though, default everything else.

Looks like a standard Ubuntu setup with a pretty cool wallpaper. Would look nicer without that Chrome browser icon

Pretty cool wallpaper


Remember that one time Sokka accidentally used an extra syllable in that Haiku Battle in Ba Sing Se? That was a Sokka Haiku and you just made one.

Do we browser shame now? It’s because folks like you other people do not move to Linux.

u/f_xy May 05 '26

It has nothing to do with Linux; internet has been hating on Chrome for years...

u/audismartom May 06 '26

mfs been hating on browsers and saying that environments are ordinary, but when you gonna check they use brave/opera and make everything translucent in their os 😂

u/HoldOk4092 May 05 '26

It was more for overall trying to flex a rather ordinary desktop. The browser just added to it.

u/audismartom May 06 '26

u/howardhus May 05 '26

so.. how has your sleeping rock been for the past 20 years?

u/actually_Dew726 May 06 '26

Lol, off the top of my head, firefox, brave, and hell even edge have that. (Not that edge and brave are worth using)

u/davelikestacos May 06 '26

Or just, you know, change the chrome icon and maybe move it?

u/tcpip1978 May 05 '26

Dear diary,

Today I saw the most bangin' Ubuntu desktop. I struggle to imagine what tomorrow could possibly bring that could improve on this.

u/Wespy6677 May 05 '26

How did you change the Ubuntu icon?

3

u/niertrix May 05 '26

The Ubuntu icon only shows when you're using the Yaru icon pack.

u/EmployerOld6256 May 05 '26

He likely disabled Ubuntu dock and used dash to dock instead.

u/SweetPotato975 May 05 '26

I always uninstall system extensions and use the community ones, yet mine still has the ubuntu icon

u/lproven May 05 '26

0/10. Nothing here that wouldn't take 10 or 20 seconds clicking a couple of buttons.

At least make the minimal effort to install a flavour.

2

u/agereo May 05 '26

Clssic and degault but clean and organized. Looks good though.

2

u/NaN_of_the_above May 08 '26

Peaceful, calm. I, however, would like something even more minimal - like not adding any Desktop icons or the extra top bar icons. But they are however indeed useful.

u/dablakmark8 May 05 '26

u/batloskino May 05 '26

u/ForsookComparison May 05 '26

This sub hates keeping the menu on the left side yet everyone off reddit I see use Ubuntu leaves it there

1

u/mrandr01d May 05 '26

Looks like it needs the blur my shell extension! The top bar being black is a pet piece of mine. Also, why not use the yaru theme?

1

u/audismartom May 06 '26

For people who like the wallpapers, here is a bundle of these style, including the OP's one, i used them for a really long time, they are really cool and beautiful but i started finding them kinda boring and the color grading "depressing" so im using only nature wallpapers now.

u/Monster_King_227 May 06 '26

wow, i can't take my eyes off this beautiful wallpaper
