Our old friend Dobbie03 knows how to make a beautiful, minimal, and functional Linux desktop, and this one is no exception. He’s been working with Manjaro lately, and created this good-looking workspace in the process. Here’s how he did it.

Dobbie03 submitted his desktop to our Desktop Showcase, which is what you should do if you want to see it featured here. All you have to do is post a screenshot to your Kinja blog (the one that came with your commenter account), and include links to the wallpaper, widgets, skins, and tools you used to customize it.


You don’t necessarily have to run Manjaro Linux to get the same effect here, but Dobbie03 does note that he’s had a great experience with it—it’s been rock solid, according to him, so if you’re looking for a new distro to try, it might be worth a look. In the interim, here’s how you can get the same look on your linux machine:

The wallpaper

The Elegance Colors

The Greybird

Conky

This Conky config for the system info by eOS Conky & Covergloobus theme

The Faience Azur

The finished product is exactly how you see it. Head over to Dobbie03's kinja blog to coax that clock config out of him and to check out another shot of his desktop “in action,” as in, with windows open so you can see the UI tweaks and themes in play. Let him know how much you like the look of the desktop while you’re at it!
