From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I mean that's just cinnamon with a debian backend instead of the regular ubuntu.
Yeah, but still fake. Tried fake ubuntu on debian and feels fake.
Are you having a stroke or something? Do you need help?
Looking at OP's writing pattern (and the smaller details of their screenshot), English likely isn't their first language. They probably meant to say something else.
I can't read their mind, but I think maybe they were trying to say that they experienced some friction with some kind of setup they had.
Or I'm having a stroke. I have a family history of that.
No, I'm fine.
Fake? As is? Vibe coded? Or just old style UI? Have you ever tried stuff like XFCE or even TWM?
Man I feel old
Tried xfce. Original, and looks like MacOS.
I tried TWM for a hot minute a couple years ago, thinking I'd be so cool for having the absolute minimal GUI possible. But the config syntax was impenetrable for me. I do still miss the left click root menu concept. I wish wl-roots compositors would implement that.
Labwc allows for all kinds of menus on root. You can freely define a menu and open it on a click action.
True, I forgot about that. I should amend my statement to say I wish Hyprland or sway would implement it. I like Labwc as well, but it took me half a day to write UL, UR, LL, and LR quarter tile window shortcuts.
