Yup. Typical.

Mostly memes.

Mine is typical for a Mac user I guess? :D

I just don't like having files and folders on my desktop.

I try to keep mine pretty empty, just a bit of clutter here. Also I had to join the "Starman" fad.

I love me some Ubuntu.

Another typical Mac user here. To Space!

Here is my desktop! I have a vertical monitor for my code and the other is just regular :). I use Ubuntu desktop. I am thinking about changing to a different distro if anyone has different suggestions.

Love me some Gnome3 =)

Pretty standard Ubuntu 16.04 :)

Ubuntu 16.04

I use a tiling window manager (i3gaps) so I don't have a home screen, it's just a blank reddish space until I start something.

I want to move to Japan, and the wallpaper reminds me of this

Gnome3 + Tint2, no idea how to put icons on my desktop ..
Wallpaper downloaded from alpha.wallhaven.cc/

Sure

Yeah, sure.

Love the minimal look.

No desktop enviroment for me, I'm comfortable with only a window manager and plenty of CLI tools!

Because smoking rockets are cool.

• Copernico GNOME theme
• Adapta Gtk theme
• Plank dock
• Papirus icons
• awesome wallpaper from bluethemes.com

My work laptop is all screenshots of bugs, one small folder of stuff, and a case-sensitive volume. My desktop at home is a lot messier than this (and my actual desk is a nightmare).

Old screenshot, Archlinux + i3wm

I'm a little late to the party but here's my homescreen:

Low ram usage, super stable, full of developer tools. xubuntu is the one for me :)

Here is mine: (Falcon Heavy 😍)

You may be wondering how my Desktop is so clean... Well, I use this command (for Mac only):

defaults write com.apple.finder CreateDesktop -bool false;killall Finder

It means that all the stuff on your Desktop will no longer show up! (but still be accessible from Finder)

That's all. Simplicity is the essence of happiness.

I'm boring. I find the desktop picture distracts me. So here you go. Solid grey. Old school.

Slapped in a random dark wallpaper to make my launcher bar not be the default purple. I rarely put anything on the desktop dir.

"Crap" is the new Desktop.

Here is mine. I'm affraid I love her.

Here it is

Here's mine!

Maybe the overview is just a bit more interesting :D

I just love Vegeta

I'm using a stock Mac wallpaper 🙈

I've never gone and actually putting up a cooler wallpaper, but I always appreciate those who do.

Yes, Game of Thrones.

You can easily imagine mine. It is a black screen with no icons.

I pretty much never see my desktop, so there's no need to waste any memory/compute resources to render pictures, or to put icons there which never get touched. I have very frequently used apps pinned to task bar (about 6 programs). Semi-frequently is pinned to the start menu. Less frequently than that, I just search. I didn't intentionally structure things this way, it just naturally settled into that.

When I was a PC tech, I would periodically reformat my computer and start over. So I learned not to get too invested in my computer setups.

I almost never see my laptop's desktop. I tend to either cmd+tab through my open programs, use Alfred to launch apps, or rely on Finder to open/view/move files. I honestly can't remember the last time I viewed the normal "desktop."

That said, I do use a second monitor both at home and at the office. I used to have Tweetdeck open at all times, but ended up finding it too distracting. Now I only use the second monitor when I have specific ad-hoc work that helps make my workflow more efficient (usually doing something in another browser window, Excel, etc).

I now like to have a clean / minimalist / dark background on the second monitor, since it's squarely in my line of sight all day. I use a dark wood background I found online. The only program I usually have open is a simple Timer app. If I'm ever lacking motivation to do something, I'll usually "challenge" myself to make as much progress as I can in — say — 15 minutes, which helps break me out of the rut.

Beginner Dev here :D.
Background name: Firewatch Arc

Home screen consists of some rainmeter skins - Lano-Visualizer and Nougat Clock. Program for transparent taskbar is TranslucentTB

Clean mostly but I like it.

my desktop was hidden deep under the open programs, and the last time i saw it that close was in november or something. but my windows pc's desktop is a lot more popular: i hoard all the files i work with on the right monitor so at least the right monitor is always free of open windows.

KDE 5 + Latte Dock

Going for a hybrid GNOME Shell / Unity look.

Here it is

Needless to say, I don't like having anything at all on my desktop. I want to bask in the glory of whatever background I put :3 my linux distros same way.

I use an awesome little Mac app called "WallCat" which sets a random desktop every day on any/all of your monitors. Really nice - even tho I hardly get to see it :P

This kid put smile on my face every time i open my desktop :p

Arch

Manjaro Linux + Gnome @ work

I don't like icons on my desktop either, but I place ebooks that I have to read on it. It forces me to read to get a cleaner desktop haha.

Yes you can, here's my Ubuntu 17.10

I use IFTTT and Dropbox to grab my most recent Instagram pic, and have command-line programs to set the desktop to an arbitrary JPG, which is is in my Dropbox folder. Well, JPG is required on Windows.

I know this is an old thread but I just found my favorite wallpaper

Other than that, the desktop is almost never used. At the moment all my screenshots are auto saved in there (I keep meaning to change location). All the junk (eventually including screenshots) are on the Downloads folder

But, that wallpaper ... I'm so proud to have come across it :)

Just simple, green to calm, dock and menu bar autohide. I am always surprised why most of you and ppl around me losing workspace in the cost of these.

Super simple, the background can be downloaded from zeit.co/logos.

The apps on the dock are Chrome, Hyper, VSCode, GitHub Desktop, Steam, Postman and Sketch.

Linux mint!

i am from venezuela. this is my work desktop.

Ubuntu Gnome 17.10 + Adapta GTK theme + Flat remix icon pack + Paper cursors

Of course you can! I went the extra mile with this one :P

Hope you like it!

Kubuntu 17.10 with KDE Plasma

Mine is for (hopefully) welcoming LGBTQ folks

Ubuntu Unity + Arc-flatfabulous theme + Paper icons

Any guesses to what the wallpaper on my laptop is? This is my desktop.

Keeping it clean and minimal!

spartan xubuntu

Lubuntu 17.10

Here's mine :)
Some years ago I used always RocketDock , but now I dropped, not sure why... I think I don't need it, or isn't practical since my setup is laptop on table, and second monitor upper the laptop monitor...
RocetDock is nicer when the monitors are side by side.

This is mine. Just the default wallpaper for now I'm afraid.

Sure!

I'm late to the party, but I call it clean XP.

Hi devs,

My main computer is running under xUbuntu, so a dark/transparency version of xFce and no need of desktop icons. Each one of the 4 virtual desktops available on mouseWeel-scroll have different wallpapers.

Had experienced some times with Docky, a desktop dock with icons on the bottom of the screen, but really non need either. The fav' apps list in the main menu is enough, plus the search box.

Tastes, colors, etc are all personal and as long it works for you with your setup cool. That's just mine at that moment.

Sadly I have a windows machine.

A simple and clean desktop.
I don't like having too much stuff on my desktop, it cause me anxiety
