At the request of the public, here is a new call to participate in our monthly competition. The idea is very simple: share a screenshot of your desktop on our social networks and show the world that Linux can also be obtained luxurious and visually appealing desks. Mint or Ubuntu? Debian or Fedora? Arch or openSUSE? ¿Which distros will appear in our Top this month? The best 10 captures will appear in a special post.
Last month's winner: Mikail Fuentes
How to participate
- Get a screenshot of the desktop. To do this, you can use the PrintScreen key (or PrtSc, on English keyboards). It is also possible to use specialized tools, such as Shutter.
- Share the capture on our social networks. The different possibilities are:
- Join our community on Google+, and publish your capture in the section .
- Follow us on Facebook o Diaspora and publish your capture on our wall.
What should i include
The following should be included as a minimum:
- 1 desktop capture
- Distribution
- Desktop environment
- Theme
- Icons
- desktop wallpaper
It is also recommended to include any description about widgets or other applications used (Conky theme, etc.).
Selection criteria for the top 10 of the month
Generally speaking, the originality, creativity and overall aesthetics of the desktop will be judged.
Although the opinion of our followers will be taken into account, expressed in the amount of +1 o I like it that each catch can accumulate, the selection criteria will be broader:
- Amount of +1 o I like it
- Does it include a detailed description so that it can be "copied"?
- It will try to select diverse desktop environments and distributions
This means that this contest does not automatically reflect the preference of our followers and, eventually, some captures with fewer votes but with a very detailed description (including links, etc.) or that involve little known desktops and / or distributions may appear in the top 10.
This same competition will be repeated every month.
Can you put windows? LOL
ehhh…. do not! 🙂
Can you put more than one capture? I say this for those of us who use more than one graphic environment.
It would be good if they made a tutorial to go back in time, because I don't know how to participate in the March one if it is April: p
haha! it's true… we're going to include everyone who posted in March, but also in the first days of April, obviously.
hug! Paul.
I already uploaded my screenshot which is a nostalgic combination (GNOME 2 + Windows XP Wallpaper).
Well, the background of Windows XP, is not exactly the original, but the photo of the place in reference.
The winner is very nice, although I am not one to use docks or conky, it is seen that relaxation is transmitted when working with that desk.
I think there should be more than one winner. A podium at least, with 3.
well, we actually picked the top 10. 🙂
hello when will open the new call ??? I did not see the call for the month of May, when will the one for June be?
Not bad ... sadly Elementary is only good for that, just to show a "nice" desktop at the behavioral and system level it keeps failing me ...
The strange thing about the case is that Ubuntu 14.04 with Unity and with Gnome Shell in the tests that I have done have been victorious .. Elementary no
What is the name of the bar where the music player is (the desktop widget).
Is it part of Conky? (I don't believe that xd)
covergloobus.
But he should put the winner, how he achieves it, because here there are many of us who are newbies
