I used to suggest Debian for the community and the stability, but I haven't seen Debian 12 yet, maybe next year, so good luck with Arch
Post a screenshot of your Desktop

I have not changed any of the Desktop GFX or GNOME Extensions, or any of the Themes since my last post, and thus here is a screenshot rather than a screencast of my desktop.
Gentoo running with a hand-configured Linux Kernel, and GNOME 44.

Can't seem to find an option to set individual backgrounds for monitors in Mint so you'll have to stare at this lovely lady 4 times.

Here's my latest "project"; a seriously updated/customised take on one of my early favourite Pups, from nearly a decade ago:- Tahrpup64...
Yes, I know some of you will be horrified at the idea of using a 10-yr old distro..! However, this is a good demo of just how 'modular' Puppy is, and just what it's possible to do with it.....
The kernel has been swapped from Tahr's OOTB k3.14.57 for a late 5-series.....necessary to get audio out of this HP Pavilion desktop rig, 'cos at the time the 3-series was built, the chipset didn't yet exist.
Glibc is running @ 2.31........up from Tahr's original 2.19, and borrowed from Fossapup. Dbus/certs/libstdc++/various other stuff has been seriously upgraded/updated. Ffmpeg is one of John van Sickle's fabulous statically-compiled versions; you just drop these in, and they run on their own, with no need of all the usual dependencies. And this then makes a ton of other multimedia stuff just 'work'.
Browsers.....all 'portables'.....are bang up-to-date, with built-in updater scripts, as is everything else internet-facing. In fact, this is running virtually nothing BUT 'portables'.....video-editors, multimedia apps, office suites, you name it, I've re-built it into a portable version. My first install of Tahr64 was a bit of a mess, if I'm honest.....in truth, I didn't make a very good job of it. Nearly a decade on, I've got the benefit of hind-sight, knowing what I'm doing, and 10 yrs-worth of Puppy packaging & system innovations to lean on!
And my linked-in, AppImage-based external 'portable' WINE package allows access to a few old, favourite, well-worn Windows apps, for which I've never really found substitutes.
--------------------------------
As for the rest; very much my usual style. The infocenter to the right, with gKrellM and Puppy's native Conky-based pWidgets. Various GIF-based launcher icons here & there, and the entire desktop layout built from scratch, utilisng a favourite background long ago found online. Along with my wee puppy, endlessly romping across the desktop....
Not everybody's cup of tea, but I like it..!
This thing is running SO well, I've been using it continuously for the last month or more. And that's using FirefoxESR, which is a huge compliment from me, 'cos I normally prefer the Chromium-based clones. Goes to show just how stable FF has become.....and even more so than usual on here.

NOTE: Yeahhhhh "figure out how to get obs-studio-browser to work" note has been there forever lol. I used to have it working; but since my last system wipe & reinstall, I've had issues getting ffmpeg-obs to install, thus dependency issues I'm unwilling to troubleshoot at this time.
