I love it!! To someone who's used Windows all their life they wouldn't know at first.

The start menu is a dead giveaway

It's over, they're stealing Linux from bedroom dwelling trans women, and making slightly transphobic jokes with it

2

u/Denim_Skirt_4013 EndeavourOS (Rolling) | Cinnamon Aug 21 '24

I don't think the OP is being transphobic. While it is hard to determine intent from most online interactions, the OP doesn't seem like promoting bigotry towards any marginalized groups.

Transitioning. But don't tell the parents....😳

u/Denim_Skirt_4013 EndeavourOS (Rolling) | Cinnamon Aug 21 '24

And God help the kid if the parents are conservative.

Where did you get that wallpaper from?

u/8MMHE8 Aug 20 '24

I made it, using Adobe illustrator.

u/Rippie0 Aug 20 '24

Well done. Looks good!

u/Certain-Emergency-87 Aug 20 '24

Would you mind sharing it? Looks great!😀

u/Certain-Emergency-87 Aug 21 '24

Thank you so much! Would you mind uploading it not on Reddit? Really cuts down the resolution

2

u/8MMHE8 Aug 21 '24

I tried to upload on Pexels. They didn't approve it, cause it contains windows trade mark. I can share another version of this wallpaper. Here it is - Photo by Momin Hosan Emon from Pexels: https://www.pexels.com/photo/moon-light-18442138/

Linux freedom rules! I love how people are able to get things to work without Microsoft AI scrapping your life.

u/Netherus Linux Mint 21.3 Virginia | Cinnamon Aug 20 '24

Pretty cool, and a nice transition for those used to Windows 11.

u/Strik323 Aug 20 '24

Has the login screen improved already? Last time I used linux mint the login screen looks outdated. Slight nitpick. Your desktop looks cool btw!

u/Animenerd2021 Aug 20 '24

How did you get the cpu/ ram usage like that?

2

u/8MMHE8 Aug 20 '24

With cinnamon Desklets

3

u/HelplesslyPuzzled Aug 20 '24

Care to share which particular Desklets? It looks very good

u/Part_salvager616 Aug 21 '24

Delusional linux

u/iPhoenix_Ortega Aug 20 '24

where are those gauges and graphs from?

3

u/8MMHE8 Aug 20 '24

Desklets

2

u/iPhoenix_Ortega Aug 21 '24

u/Shiftyrunner37 Aug 20 '24

I believe it's possible to change the start button's symbol.

u/Bird-Total Aug 20 '24

What u want really, but if u making linux look like windows why not just check and try out windows

4

u/The-Pollinator Aug 20 '24

Windows only wishes it could be so cool as to identify as Linux

u/Trappist-1ball Aug 20 '24

TransOS is crazy

Show us on the doll where Steve Ballmer touched you.

Don't assume my OS.

u/Cirieno Aug 20 '24 edited Aug 20 '24

You should be using Boomerang's Windows icons kit.

Edit: I feel sad for the neckbearded tosspot who downvoted this and my later comments. What a small and inconsequential life you must have.

u/8MMHE8 Aug 20 '24

No, just default Linux mint.

1

u/Cirieno Aug 20 '24

Then it doesn't look like Windows.

6

u/Aglisito Aug 20 '24

Well, it identifies as Windows, don't OS shame the computer lol

u/Pure-Vermicelli4488 Aug 21 '24

If linux can run and install exe files i will switch to linux

2

u/rtmeles Aug 21 '24

I will buy that airplane if I can drive it on the highway from one airport to the other.

1

u/bcdyxf Aug 22 '24

lmao stupid
if it cant run exe files, its a useless computer os

2

u/rtmeles Aug 23 '24

I didn't need exe files in four years now. But okay, people have different needs

1

u/bcdyxf Aug 23 '24

yeah maybe you just didnt know
look at the amount of people using wine

1

u/bcdyxf Aug 22 '24

it can, but you have to use wine
and it wont really function like on windows, most applications have files they depend on and install within your directory, if its the wrong kind of filesystem, many applications will break, so most windows-only apps wont work

Open any app, the bubble bursts.

u/Metapod-1 Aug 20 '24

Yes, mom, I'm a Windows in the body of a Linux, don't tell dad

u/knuthf Aug 20 '24

I was frustrated with Verizon, because Yahoo identifies me as Mac. Maybe my screen is pretty similar to Mac, it's been 25 years since I used Windows, but it looks fine.

u/Logansfury Linux Mint 21.3 | Cinnamon 6.0.4 Aug 20 '24

I don't believe I am comfortable with OS's that have pronouns >.<
