That looked like Eric Dubois' arcolinux in his YT videos, so I had to look up archlabs. No wonder they look the same - they forked a couple of years ago. I love archlabs/arcolinux's default aesthetics.

Pop!_OS 19.04 on my Thinkpad T460p.
I really like Pop!_OS, as it's a good install experience, a few nice defaults around key board short cuts, and they just kinda let gnome do gnome.
Here I've to it with the Pop_Slim_Dark theme. GnomeTerm running tmux. Gruvbox theme all the way down (neovim inside tmux, both gruvbox themed). Font is Hack Regular.
I also just kinda thought it was funny that the neofetch is saying it's Ubuntu 19.04 and showing the wrong logo
I wanted to capture that before they fix it.

Downsized the embeds a decent bit since I'd feel guilty embedding the full res version. Dots are up at https://github.com/pandorasfox/dotfiles.
Been digging polybar lately. It's pretty satisfying how much I can comfortably fit on it on my ultrawide.

I'm pretty boring. Two different ratio/resolution monitors, doesn't make for a pretty screenshot.
New convert - migrated over from High Sierra this week !
Welcome aboard!
Debian 10 is rock-solid, I hope you enjoy!
My simple dwm screenshot. No bars, they don't seem to work quite how I want them to with dual screens.
Thanks ! It's absolutely spot on so far - I've made the kind of QOL changes I'd make in any other OS, everything just works, and the OS isn't continually trying to tell me that 50% of my software library is being randomly deprecated
Kickin' it early 90s style

Real CDE users don't need no X button.Kickin' it early 90s style

(I don't recall if that's actually viable on Xfce or not, though-- does Xfce close windows when double-clicking the control menu at the top left?)
It does! (I didn't know that until just now) but this theme doesn't support custom button layouts, so I'm stuck with the X.

I need more of this in my burgeoning PopOS life. How can I make for me all purty like?
I am really bad at giving instructions but you can firstly install dwm and use my dwm build:

Colour Scheme for .Xresources (I have tweaked it slightly since this screenshot, also my terminal st has been patched to use .Xresources for colours)

Just a default KDE install on Pi 4 (4GB) with a Pi OS 64-bit Lite base. Installed from the command line using the standard Debian
Not happy that it's idling at nearly a gig of my measly 4GB (less for graphics memory) and it's a bit choppy in regular usage.

Frankly, kind of impressive it is useable. KDE isn't exactly known for being light weight

You'd be surprised. Plasma5 is incredibly lightweight. In my experience, it uses roughly 100mb less ram compared to XFCE now. A fresh KDE install on Arch is around 450-600mb, XFCE around 600mb, Gnome closer to 900/1gb mark (via Arch or gentoo. If Fedora/Manjaro/Suse, with all their services add about 100mb).
Heavier on GPU when compared to other lightweight DMs, but still really impressive.

Yeah, I don't know. I used it for a while and ran back screaming to Gnome. That's not lightweight either, but it seems a lot more stable.
Gnome is one of the heavier ones (and Cinnamon) these days. MATE (Good ol' Gnome 2, modernized!), Xfce, and KDE are all in the same ballpark as each other. LXDE/LXQT are a bit lighter still. Those are the only ones I'm familiar with right now.
I gave up on Gnome 3 even though I'm a heavy superkey+typing user because it keeps taking away options that have to be added back in with extensions that may or may not work with a future update. I just really disagree with the increasingly locked-down philosophy behind the development. KDE was something that scared me away in the old days with how much control you have and can tweak, but I'm willing to give it a shot since it's not too heavy nowadays, and seems to be really consistent despite the flexibility. I'm sure there are tweaks to KDE or other default Debian desktop-related packages I could make to grease the performance a little.
