I think it would be neat to show your wallpaper/desktop setups in this community, something like what !unixporn@lemmy.ml does.

The wallpaper does not necessarily have to be furry art, it does not necessarily have to be a heavily customized desktop neither, just show what you have :3

    As a bonus, here is one of my Steam Deck’s Desktop:

    Unfortunately this one is much less populated and not decorated because I basically just don’t use Desktop mode because of the clunky built-in controls for it, plus the fact that KDE really just sucks for a touch screen device, which is partially X11’s fault but not completely, KDE just doesn’t have a good layout for touch screen usage. I basically only use this mode for configuring emulators, Non-steam games and apps, and occasionally copying text from the Web into games where it’s needed (like in Minecraft where it’s needed for commands or instructions).

      I think Plasma has a “tablet mode” so that everything in the interface is bigger, but maybe that is a Wayland only thing; there is a fullscreen start menu in case you want that too.

      As a furry I would obviously suggest a wallpaper haha, but it is okay if you don’t use it that much. It was nice to see both of your setups :3

        Oh that’s cool, I found it after poking around a bit, it definitely does make the icons easier to press with a touch screen, though not really too sure how it would hold up when opening multiple apps since the interface gets really crowded around five apps in.

        I did try the full screen apps menu and the full screen one at first glance seems like it would be better, and in some ways it is, but in other ways it isn’t, but looking around on discover store I found one called Plasma Drawer and while it is very simple (doesn’t have favorites category and you can’t rearrange apps) it is very touch friendly.

        I’ll probably be using desktop mode more often since it’s now much easier to use. Now all I need to do is find a good wallpaper (or collection of them) to use on my Deck.
