As a Linux Mint user, I find it a bit disappointing that there aren't more videos on YouTube or images on Pinterest showcasing Linux users' desk setups or the apps they use for work and play.
Most of the time, when I come across such content, it's made by Apple or Windows users. Not that it's a bad thing, as those videos have given me great ideas on improving my desk setup, like organizing better and using items such as headphone stands.
However, these videos aren't very helpful when it comes to apps. Not all the apps they use are compatible with Linux or have direct replacements. This isn't usually a big issue for me since the apps they use often aren't relevant to my work, and I'm more of a casual gamer.
Where these videos could be more useful is in highlighting compatible hardware—like laptops, mice, and keyboards—that works seamlessly with Linux. While websites and forums can be helpful, YouTube videos would be a great starting point for those just beginning to explore Linux or looking for hardware recommendations.
Honestly, I'd love to see more people who use Linux daily sharing how they set it up and use it productively or for leisure. I believe that showcasing how Linux can be used beyond programming and technical work could attract more users.
It would also help break the stereotype that using Linux means having a cluttered, tech-heavy setup. Seeing aesthetic, practical setups comparable to those of Apple and Windows users could show that Linux is for everyone, regardless of taste or technical expertise. It could demonstrate that you don't need to be a computer enthusiast to benefit from Linux in your work or daily life. One can dream, but I know...
