Once again, with a little delay, the 10 best desktops of the month from our followers on Google+, Facebook and Diaspora arrive. 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 the necessary details (system, environment, theme, icons, etc.). Please don't forget to include them next month and remember to use the hashtag #showyourdesktoplinux when posting your captures.
As always, there is a very interesting variety of distros, environments, icons, etc. To learn, imitate and enjoy! Will yours be on the list?

openbox in first place, I think I'll leave cinnamon and switch to openbox 🙂
Don't you dare commit that heresy. http://i.imgur.com/QjAdJy3.jpg
Ha ha ha ha ha ha! All right. Good use of the word 😉
I'll tell you one thing: I'm using a pretty mediocre laptop with Manjaro. I have been about to buy a slightly better laptop for a long time, but since the one I have is going so well, I am not finished cheering up and taking the step. In conclusion: openbox resurrects the dead. Definitely the best. Be careful, it can be a little more complicated to configure than XFCE, for example, but once you get the hang of it, you don't leave it for nothing.
Other good openbox distros to try are Crunchbang (based on Debian) or Archbang (based on Arch).
Hug! Paul.
Very good desks and window managers, the bad thing that not even one from Flubox. When will they make a guide to a system with a well configured Fluxbox?
I love how the number 2 explains, do you have any doubts about how I did it? xD
There are some ubuntu desktops with unity is what they say if you customize them gives a bit of pleasure to use the distribution haha
I should show some tutorial to modify them like this… they are all very good 🙂
my desk came out !!!! hahaha: 3
the anxiety that comes from knowing that something is missing xD. . . ayy ...
Number 7 seemed excellent to me, putting aside the wallpaper, the rest is fascinating: the icons, the weather widget. It looks classy and stylish. The number 5, inspired by The dark side of the moon, also impressed his creativity.
As they insist on "the best" there are no best, the best desk is the one that everyone likes.
It's true ... it's just a marketing title. You don't have to take things so seriously, heh. 🙂
A hug! Paul.
What was wrong with the one I sent you?
Not that it is or is not bad. The choice of the desks is subjective and is the discretion of the post author. One may or may not agree with the results. The important thing here, it seems to me, is the fact of being able to share the desktops so that users can get to know other distros, environments, share configurations, encourage other Linux users to create their own, etc ... Hence the hashtag # showyourlinuxdesktop ... it's a delight for the view the amount of captures in the different communities.
The main thing is not to stop participating and continue enjoying our linux.
Greetings.
Nothing. It's just that we receive hundreds of shipments per month and we only have to choose 11. 🙁
A hug and good luck for next month!
Pablo.
MY desk, number 8, I put it in November because it appeared for October, it is a bug! xD hahahaha thank you for the choice, fabulous desks come out every month that are so difficult to give congratulations to everyone.
I do not understand why, for example, there is desk number 9, when it is seen that it has only put a conky, and nothing else has been changed (at first glance). If it's customization, it's customization, I understand that you have to change a minimum, not just the wallpaper, and put a conky. Let him enter a wallpaper contest.
And on the other hand, to the winner, could you pass me your menu.xml? Or tell me how you did it?
A greeting!
He was one of those who received the most votes in G +.
However, it's not all about extreme customization. Sometimes we have even awarded desks that hardly have customization, because they really are very beautiful from the factory: Kaos, Elementary, etc.
Hug, Pablo.
Yes, it is understandable, but I understand by customization, that is, giving it a personal touch. Maybe it would be good to put some rule, to change not only the desktop background, because some distros come very nice by default, we know, and you can see it by looking at reviews of the distros, or looking for images of that same distro, but you can't find photos of «JesseAvalosOS» or «JorgeDangeloOS», which is unique to each one and does provide variety. I don't know if I explain myself ...
I've been wanting to participate for some time, but I have to find perfection as they say… .hahahahaha
I need the menu.xml of the winner, or to know with what program and how it was achieved, because with the obmenugenerator, I am not able to have a menu like that ...
What distro is «YAPA»
It is a custom distro made by Jesse Avalos. If I understand correctly it is based on Ubuntu.
That's why it says "coming soon." 🙂
Hug, Pablo.
it looks horrible in conky but I find the unity panel very well done
I didn't make it into the top 10 desktops. In the next one, I will enter.
Congratulations to everyone who won, I really liked Ian Dupuy's Desk 2 Minimalist Desk 🙂
They are very pretty for the most part but my favorite was the second.
PS: Does anyone know how I can send my desk to compete?
You have to participate through our social networks (g +, facebook or diaspora) by pasting on our wall a screenshot of your desktop and detailing the desktop environment, wallpaper, etc. used.
Hug! Paul.
Desktops with openbox break it!
For academic reasons and unrelated to my preferences, I have had to relegate my preferred OS to a virtualized environment, which is why, motivated by performance limitations, I have opted for something light for my desktop (Xubuntu 14.10 with XFCE) that allows me to maintain my daily activities and my experiments under virtualized environments in the best way and without frustration, in turn, seen this post, I have been motivated to show my desktop hopefully to compete for the best Linux desktops of November.
Here I give you the link: https://plus.google.com/114815448338662146100/posts/Yk6apwJ4qne
Number 7 quite relaxed, I really liked it 🙂
Every time I see the desktops that can be achieved with GNU / Linux, I see the OS X desktop as outdated and bland.
Impacted with the desks of Rodolfo Crisanto (n ° 8) and Tomás del Valle Palacios (n ° 7), in that order.
My congratulations to them for such simple beauty, and to the blog for publishing it.
Thank you!
Thanks for your concepts Mario. A hug
Is the contest still going? I would like to participate.
Why was the contest stopped? It was very good.
Make the contest again friends, we know several that we want to participate.
I would like to participate in a new contest, there are several of us who have a good desktop
