My desktop has pretty much looked the same since the Windows 7 era now, I like to keep things simple these days.

The background was saved from a Neowin desktop thread over a decade ago, so I'm not actually sure what its called. I'll upload a copy if anyone wants it however:

I never keep the same desktop layout for a long time. So, some changes.

I do love your layouts Raphaël, they always look so clean.

what mail and twitter apps do you use?

The mail client is just Thunderbird. The Vimix icon set has an icon for Thunderbird that doesn't look like Thunderbird at all :). Twitter is just the Twitter website as set as an Edge PWA. It works really well as a PWA. Same thing for WhatApp if anyone would be interested. It's http://web.whatsapp.com/ set as an Edge PWA (sometimes I just prefer to type on my keyboard than on my phone).

You know there is a WhatsApp app in the AUR, right?  Also one as a Flatpak.

Nah. It's just not as a big of a thing like it used to be in the XP W7 days. I rarely do it anymore.

finally got rid of rainmeter, seems pointless these days and no new interesting themes have been released in a long long time.

also most of the date i displayed on desktop (time, weather, net traffic) can easily now be displayed in the windows 11 taskbar.

just a blank desktop for now.

You inspired me to give openSUSE a try.
