Competition: Top 5 Linux Desktops

What better way to start the week than with a competition? The idea is that we can show the world that in Linux you can also get luxurious and visually super attractive desktops. Visual aesthetics is not something that only concerns Mac users.

Show us your super piggy desk and get the admiration of all of us! Will you use Mint or Ubuntu? Debian or Fedora? Arch or openSUSE? What distros will appear in our Top 5?

All there is to do

  • Get a screenshot of your desktop. To do this, you can use the PrintScreen key (or PrtSc, on English keyboards). Do not forget that it is also Shutter to help you.
  • Access our Facebook page.
  • Paste your photo on our Wall, describing the themes (metacity, emerald, docky, conky, etc.) used.
  • The 5 best captures are going to be published in an exclusive blog post for everyone to admire.

The originality, creativity and overall aesthetics of the desk will be judged.

The competition starts today and ends on Friday the 11th. Hurry up and send your catch!

Note: only captures sent by FacebookThose received through any other means (mail, twitter, etc.) will not be considered.

    Hello, I have the following question, can I upload more than one desktop per person? It is that I use both Ubuntu and Kubuntu and I already uploaded my Ubuntu Gnome desktop, if I wanted I could also upload an image of my KDE desktop?
    Regards and thanks beforehand!!

    LOL…. Let's see how many "chick" desks there are. Like fer, I have it as minimalist as possible, two bars, one at the top with gnome-monitor-applet, a bar with hidden icons, the date and time, and a gnome menu, at the bottom the view of multiple desktops, a button to minimize everything … And all the windows open and grouped XD. I guess it's competition for KDEers who liked the idea of ​​keeping track of me $ with their heavy GUIs.

    Don't believe it, I love to pimp my desktop ... and I use openbox 😉

    I already posted mine, I hope you like it.

    PS: I like the new look of the site 😉

    I agree, cease. Also, I find it a kick that you have to upload a photo to the feisbuk, since I believe that everything in feisbuk belongs to feisbuk, and the images will not be an exception. I personally would like the images to be my property (under cc-by), and not a copyright of fesibuk, for that I already apply it.
    And no, I don't exist in feisbuk. I will wait what it takes to Diaspora

    Everything okay, nothing is wrong. We are already going to do some other competition that you can be part of. A hug! Paul.

  7.   Let's use Linux said

    Beware that simple can be better!
    Not necessarily the one with all the latest gadgets is the one who is going to win.
    Post your catch and you might be surprised!
    Hug! Paul.

  8.   Let's use Linux said

    Clear! You can upload all the captures you want. 🙂
    I really liked the one you already uploaded! I think it will be one of the winners !! 🙂
    Cheers! Paul.

    I'm really sorry, but I don't "exist" on Facebook

  11.   Luis Fernando Mita said

    the page does not enter my face 🙁

  12.   Let's use Linux said

    Take a look now. 🙂
    Cheers! Paul.

  13.   Luis Fernando Mita said

    congratulations on the contest and on the blog

    Too bad that my desktop is extremely minimalist, I only have one panel (with app menu and nothing else) and it is hidden. XD

  15.   Let's use Linux said

    I love minimalism.
    Post your capture and we will see! 🙂
    Hug! Paul.

  16.   Iron said

    I do not have a facebook account if I would not upload an image

  17.   Let's use Linux said

    Okay. No problem.

  18.   Let's use Linux said

    Excellent! One better than the other! This competition is going to be very difficult ...
    Cheers! Paul.

    Thank you, the initiative is good, but some of us do not have and will never have participation in social networks; D

    A hug for you.

  20.   Let's use Linux said

    Tudo Bom. When Diaspora starts, we will join him!
    Cheers! Paul.

    xD what an exaggerated concept of «privacy» xD

  22.   Let's use Linux said

    Groso Jaime! I invite you to encourage your acquaintances to participate!
    A hug! Paul.

    OOOOOPS… .My desktop is not able to participate… it is purely functional… a nice silver background without any launcher in it… just a couple of browser icons and the mail manager in the lower panel apart from the show desktop icon… the desk changer ... terminal ... force close ... notification area and trash can in the upper panel ... all from the faenza pack of course ... also I don't have an account on facebook ...: S ... I'm not a lot of social media ... but respect of course its users ...

    In any case I wish the participants luck and congratulations to the winners in advance….

    An excellent initiative to move readers

    Maverick

    Thanks Mav! A thick, as always!
    I wish you could comment more often. I really value your opinions. Above all else, because they are "constructive." 🙂
    Hug! Paul.

    AGGGGGGGGGG! NO, FEISBUK NO! I hate that it happens to you. I hate certain kinds of policies regarding my data that I don't like. And I hate that I miss the Farmerama ads with the music at full volume. Well the latter I can attribute less to Feisbuk the truth xD. I am another one of the resistance, I do not exist either in said "social" network with which I am left out = GIVE all this, what have you done to the new blog? When I browse from my Nexus One I get a white box that covers all the news. Funny thing that if I use the dolphin browser with the desktop identifier it works. Any ideas on what you have played to make this happen?

  26.   Let's use Linux said

    To be honest I have no idea. 🙁
    If you discover it, let me know so I can correct it. I don't have one of these phones that surfs the internet and everything… that's what I resist! 😛 Hehe…
    Cheers! Paul.

    Question: apart from admiring them ... will the creators of the desks share their secrets? I mean they will tell us how they did it; that they used etc, etc ...

  28.   MAVERICK said

    Thanks Pablo ... I will try to comment more often from the point of view of an ordinary user ... I hope to reach a higher level to be able to get into other topics that today are far from my level ...

    By the way ... you started calling me as the users of the forum I administer finally ended up calling me ... MAV ... ... hahaha ... it must be something genetic because in fact a compatriot of yours started calling me "mav" ...;) ... one day I come to hair explain why this nick….: S

    In any case it does not bother me far from it….

    A hug

    MAV ……. :)
