What's the difference between that and !unixporn@lemmy.world which is even hosted on the same instance?
- One is about shagging your computer and the other one is about making it prettier. Duh.
  
  thanks man that kinda uplifted me
- this one is not nsfw
- I think it's redundant. I wish the community didn't keep its slightly cringeworthy reddit name, but it doesn't make sense to have essentially a copy of the same thing under a new name, especially when it doesn't have a lot of posts to start with.
- I really dislike that its called unixporn, though; while its not about porn in the slightest; same with hifiporn, or mapporn or what-have-you-porn. Beauty is way more positive.

Feel free to promote it in !newcommunities@lemmy.world and !communitypromo@lemmy.ca

Why not unixporn?
- This one is different

Why are you looking at a skeleton while trying to make your community popular?
- I became the skeleton trying to make my community popular. because its not easy
  
  that's not how pov works
  
  You made the community yesterday

Fediverse-friendly link (for non-lemmy.world instances): !LinuxBeauty@lemmy.world.

I mean I used to care about that but I kind of don't anymore.
Laptop running sway with literally nothing else except nautilus and Firefox, colorful wallpapers, transparent panels (not the focused one of course)
My desktop meanwhile is stock cinnamon. I actually have no idea how to edit anything in cinnamon but I've changed the wallpaper.
- I do not care either.
  But other people who are not me do care.
- and thats why I created LinuxBeauty, to share simple tutorials on simple customizations that will change the look of your desktop.
  
  Most of my customization is backend (cronned git autocommits for doc clouds, automated file transfers for media share, scripted reprovisioning of locked down systems (steamdeck), webui automation for app access via ssh), but I appreciate front-end customization because it helps me to learn about the tools used to do so in case I ever do feel like adding some eye candy.
  Idk why so many folks act like two things can't be good. Cool community idea. I'm not quite a customizer, but I am more KDE and less XFCE.

Look, your problem is all the competition. Lots of Linux users putting out Linux memes. So, to get a foothold you simply need to kill all the Linux users.
- don't forget the -9

I’m gonna get some screenshots together for a post, leaving this comment as a reminder to myself.
But yeah, if this community could have a few less chibi anime waifu wallpapers than UnixPorn does, I’m totally down to support it.
- thanks bro its means a lot, i mean i am not getting anything from the community I built but as a Linux user I just like to be helpful and share knowledge so others can benefit from it, because personally I had a hard time finding good tutorials or guides on customizing my Linux Mint. and yea Linux Beauty is just showing off the hidden beauty of Linux not making it look aggressive like the ones on UnixPorn.
  
  lol, my riced out EndeavourOS install running Hyprland could probably be considered aggressive modification, but with the right wallpaper and settings it looks pretty clean and minimal. I’ll see about getting some screenshots when I have time for a post.
  But yeah, I like the idea you’re running with. I’ve been all over the linuxsphere distrohopping and there are a lot of very pretty desktop environments out there. Even just Linux Mint Cinnamon without any modification is a gorgeous desktop.

Subscribed!
- thanks dude, you made my day
  
  No doubt :)

Ah ive wanted to mess with how my pop!os looks, subbed
- Thanks and welcome aboard if you like you can contribute since the community is new

Nice spam.

Congrats on the community taking off now. Looks like it'll have activity for at least a little while
- Yea but still there is a lot to do, I might provide some information on customizing so others can benefit from it

Not accurate, in real life there wouldn't be a guy behind you 🤣

I've started a neovim customizations using kickstarter.nvim, is fine to share it there once i finish it or should i keep it more linux related?
- I feel like as long as you're running nvim in Linux you could take a screenshot of the whole desktop with nvim open to pass it off as ricing
  
  That works, i've subbed anyway, gonna try out some wayland WMs and post there some ricing later

Quality shitpost
