Desktop here is the same, MATE Desktop on top of Linux Mint 22.3 XFCE Edition. Same background. But I wanted to showcase how it looks when I plug in my guitar.
This is Guitarix, and it sounds pretty welll as long as your guitar has got good pickups.
Playing some (very) old Metallica tunes here 
I use a standard MATE top panel and Plank at the bottom. I use both the Apps/Places/System menus and the Brisk menu for easy keyboard access. Pretty minimal otherwise.
I have a folder full of cool pics that Iāve gathered over the years, and I change my wallpaper every so often.
My desktop today:
My current MATE desktop on a still rocking 2011 27" iMac. With compiz of course, and minimal animations. No other DE make this system feel refined and modern with modern software, so I hope itās not going to be dismantled.
Really love your avatar. Itās the first thing I saw in the topic list:
I said mentally, ālook Netscape has joined us!ā. (Such good memories until they died) So, clicked the topic and found @Neffscape instead. 
Very creative! Brought a smile ha! Thanks for that and welcome to the forums. Your desktop looks great and of course better in many ways than macOS.
Lol, my avatar has a long history, and itās actually related to my nickname IRL (people call me Neff). So when I chose the name of my tech blog in the 2010s I decided to go with āNeffscapeā, and I chose an avatar that sticked to these days 
. About the screenshot: I donāt usually mimic other OS when Iām using linux, but this machine is an old Mac, and I wanted to preserve its soulā¦ It is actually much better than MacOS in windows management and speed thanks the old good compiz. Too bad it isnāt developed anymore.
Love this! 
Fair enough. Nicely done.
