The best Linux desktop: April 2014 - Results

With some delay, the 10 best desktops of the month of our followers arrive in Google+, Facebook y Diaspora. It was really very difficult to decide because they sent us excellent captures. However, some really good specimens were left out of the final list for not including necessary details (system, environment, theme, icons, etc.).

As always, this month there is a very interesting variety of distros, environments, icons, etc. To learn, imitate and enjoy! Will yours be on the list?

      Thanks for the comment, I'm glad you liked it

    As always excellent captures and excellent desks!

    One thing is clear: regardless of the desktop environment that is used, it seems that the Docks prevail in most of the captures. For my part, I have never seen the need to include it on my desktops (beyond temporary tests). I guess I ended up burned out of using Mac OS X for a season. I always prefer to have the bar where the windows are minimized.

    I guess it's getting used to, like everything. Anyway, very good catches. The myth that Linux looks graphically old I think has been largely dismantled.

    A greeting!

    Very good work, apparently there is a trend in the use of Numix packages ...

  6.   hhhhh said

    What compl. used to display desktop data?

  7.   edu said

    Excellent!!

  8.   Ergean said

    The one with number 4, could someone tell me what icons, wallpaper and theme it uses? because Gnome 3 (seems) is amazing with that look. Greetings and thank you.

      I'm glad you like it, here I leave it for you:
      Icons: Numix-Circle
      Wallpaper: http://media.idownloadblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/Summer-Flat-by-AR7-1024×1024.png

      1.    Ergean said

        Thanks for answering and congratulations on the desk. A greeting.

      2.    Ab said

        Hi, I liked your desktop, but I can't find the spotify widget, what is it?

  9.   Sephiroth said

    2 and 4 are incredible… 🙂

  10.   porter said

    The last one has a very good wallpa. Do you know where I can get it?

      1.    porter said

        hehh I already did it by tags and couldn't find it, I used - spray wall, Spray, graffity wall etc.

        Even so thanks.

        1.    elav said

          Well now it only remains for the author to tell you where to find it 😀

        2.    hrenek said

          Better use the Google image search engine. Click on the camera in the search box. Drag the screenshot from the desktop that you liked and voila.

  11.   Juan Carlos said

    I have loved the 4, 5, 6, 7. How curious all of them in a row. The Yapa is pretty good, but the desktop that is in Yapa, what does it mean?

    1.    joakoej said

      Yapa means it's an extra, a little gift

      1.    let's use linux said

        That's right ... a little gift.

  12.   let's use linux said

    It seems that docks and numix circle icons are all the rage. 🙂

    1.    fabian said

      I prefer the ones from the Moka project, but Numix is ​​more complete at the moment.

  13.   hrenek said

    The number 3, the number 8 and the number 9 should not be in the ranking. They are overloaded, regardless of the general design, they include elements that do not fit, well ... I do not like them. The others are similar, apparently by putting the Faenza icons or derivatives or the Numix that are in fashion today, it is enough to appear among the 10.

  14.   oscar said

    Very nice! I still have to learn the basics before I start to "decorate" 😀 greetings artists!

  15.   santiago alessio said

    How do I upload my desktop to participate this month?

    1.    let's use linux said

      Sharing your captures (and a description of them) on our social networks (G +, Facebook or Diaspora). 🙂
      Cheers! Paul.

      1.    Fabian G. said

        From what date to what date are they taken ?, since some of them were in the first days of May in G +.

  16.   ToHil said

    Excellent desks

  17.   The_Mastersok said

    My option is for 7
    Greetings from Chile!!!

  18.   Fredy Arizala said

    With great joy I received the news of being in the Ranking, there is much to learn. For me this is a very important point and it favors the GNU / Linux world over other OS. Desktop customization draws too much attention to the home user.

  19.   Tesla said

    By the way, it is not to be picky, but Victor Salmerón's desk is repeated from last month. In the same place and with the same configuration.

    Has it been sneaked in when making the post or has it been put on purpose?

    A greeting!

    1.    let's use linux said

      Ha! Gee, I missed ... 🙂 Thanks for the warning!
      It's still pretty, right?
      Hug! Paul.

      1.    Tesla said

        Of course!! 🙂

        I love desktops with OpenBox. For me, the most difficult to modify in that way are!

        It's just that I had already seen that background somewhere, it remains in your memory XD

        A greeting!

  20.   better hosting said

    Excellent desks! Between all of them I celebrate the 1st and 2nd.

  21.   TOMMM4K3R said

    All excellent desks, but this time the yapa is not mine, Pablo, maybe you got confused. I no longer change my openbox for another environment and I think it is a bit unfair to take the credit of another. regards

    1.    let's use linux said

      Thank you! Corrected. 🙂

  22.   blackmartalpha.net said

    To my liking, Cristhian Duran's fund is one of the best, I'm going to find him for W7
    xD

  23.   Jbmondeja. said

    How can I put the launcher horizontally at the bottom ???

    1.    Jbmondeja. said

      I already found the solution 😛

  24.   Gerson said

    Could someone tell me how I modify the ubuntu 14.04 taskbar and leave it as the first topic? 😀

  25.   framesSSS said

    openSUSE is my favorite distro !!! 🙂 hold on openSUSE !!! l..l
