Details are in the console window. The wallpaper comes from here: https://www.wallpaperflare.com/search?wallpaper=deepin

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:

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.

I made some changes on my laptop which went from Debian testing to OpenSuSE Tumbleweed

You inspired me to give openSUSE a try. 

[Athlonite]

I'd post mine but it would get me banned
