Top-left to bottom right:

  1. neovim "IDE" with integrated terminal editing dotfiles (Debian)
  2. dom0 admin terminal (Fedora)
  3. Qubes Manager looking at some templates (Fedora)
  4. Thunar File manager about to move a file between qubes (Whonix)
  5. Konform Browser browsing codeberg (Arch Linux)

Each app and window can belong to a separate qube (Xen VM), visually discriminated by differing color schemes.

Thanks to Ben Grandes qusal which was very helpful as base for setting things up.

This is a setup optimized for productivity and efficiency, which is reflected in the lack of eye-candy and gratuitous margins.

^1^: Not pictured - I figured the screenshot was busy enough. If y'all want to see more LMK.

Sorry, that's totally off topic (rule 1) and none of your business I'm afraid.

Feels like you're meming on some uncharitable stereotype at the expense of myself, QubesOS, and room for more interesting convos in this thread. Comments like this might make other users with less hard skin afraid to post their own setup if stuff like this is all they get back. It leads to less diversity and real talk, more low-effort memes and the sameish sway-with-a-fancy-background-and-fastfetch.

As this little community grows I think it would be sweet to try not to actively reproduce the bad aspects of Reddit.

(Yes, I'm a blast at parties)
