My first Linux desktop

I think it's looking pretty good. Edit: My class is about to start so I'll try to post my setup when I get home. Thanks for the kind words guys!

Sneaky rick roll

I have only had a couple days on Linux, and it's my first time posting here so I'll try to do it the best I can. Here we go
OS: Fedora 39
DE: GNOME
WM: Mutter
Wallpaper: http://imgur.io/xzilCU9
Shell theme: Marble + adw-gtk3 for consistency
Icon theme: Colloid
Extensions to replicate the look: Blur My Shell, Dash to Dock, Just Perfection, Logo Menu, Media Controls (this one's for the media player on top there), Shortcuts (for a shortcut cheatsheet), Simple Timer (for a timer on the menubar), Status Area Horizontal Spacing, User Avatar in Quick Settings---
- Are you using a mac?
  
  Fedora Asahi, yeah! How did you know?

Very nice. Now let’s see Paul Allen’s desktop…
- My God, it even has an overlay.
  
  The transparency, the subtle neon green colouring

Nice job! You even managed to not get downvoted into oblivion for using Gnome on Unixporn! XD

I know you just got it, but do you think you're ever gonna give it up?
- Probably not for a little while. I'll get bored eventually so I'll change it out then.
  
  Good luck. I hope that Linux doesn't let you down.

Btw you can also download the wireguard config for your vpn and import in the system settings. Then you won't have to open the mullvad app and can just toggle it on or off from the control center.
- Thanks. I'll try that later.

He Rick Rolled us!
- Tee-hee 😎
- Rick Astley for the new Ipsum Lorem!!

It looks nice and the wallpaper is great. Would you mind sharing a source for it?
- It's from the season finale of a series (won't say which one because spoiler) but here you go! imgur.io/xzilCU9
  
  for anyone wondering.
  
  Thank you very much =)

Looks pretty good. I'm a sucker for pill based categories and control panels like yours and Android's. Wish I could do something like this on KDE (you can pry Plasma out of my cold dead hands)
- https://store.kde.org/p/1916655 maybe?
- Is that not possible with Rlasma? I thougt you could customize everything there.
  
  It's possible, I just don't think someone has done it yet and also I don't think a menu like that would fit in with the rest of the Plasma DE.
- I tried KDE too but their kitchen sink approach didn't really appeal to me.

Which OS and which WM are you using? Looks fantastic!
- Fedora 39 and Mutter

Ooo pretty!

asahi spotted in the while. Which Mac :P ?
- M1 Air =)
  
  Ya got the speakers, let’s goooooooooo. Meanwhile I’m on my messily M1 Pro 13” still waiting

Thumbs up for the World Tree.

Whats that Media Player?
- It's a GNOME extension called Media Controls.
  
  Looking, nice. Thanks!
