Los 25 mejores escritorios Linux

En el sitio web francés Tux-planet han publicado un genial post en el que se pueden apreciar los 25 escritorios personalizados más impactantes encontrados en Internet. Desde luego hay quien tiene un entorno de trabajo realmente espectacular, y es posible aprender mucho de estas personalizaciones.

Lo bueno de este tipo de concursos es que los organizadores obligan a que los concursantes expliquen al detalle qué tipo de elementos han usado. Así, es posible copiar todo o parte de esa personalización y a partir de ahí adecuarla a nuestros propios gustos.

A mí me ha gustado especialmente éste…

Es una de las características de Linux, que permite una personalización extrema y sencilla de todo tipo de elementos visuales (algo que se acentúa con el uso de capas de composición como Compiz Fusion), y que nos hace poder presumir de escritorios realmente increíbles.

A continuación los 25 escritorios con sus características, directamente tomadas del post original.
