Dear all!
Please, publish
DE … like GNOME, KDE, Xfce and such
DSP … like X11 or Wayland
DM … like GDM, SDDM, LightDM and such
together with your screenshots!
TIA!
We already have the monthly Screenshots threads, why have an extra one?

The TO means, that everybody who posts screenshots, should add the above informations to it…
So that everybody knows, on which desktop environment the fancy cat picture was used…
…that is at least my understanding of this post.

I got that, but why not ask people to do so in the other thread. I myself tend to do that, see December 2025 Screenshots
Because my request holds for every single “MM YYY Screenshots” thread — not just "12 2025 Screenshots.
I wouldn’t like to repeat it in every single thread of that subject.
And yes, I find this information substantial. Otherwise, those screenshots are quite useless for personally me. But with, it really get’s interesting. Sometimes a get to view a desktop I would have associated with a different setup (when it’s actually stated). And it’s always nice to know the quotes of X11 vs. Wayland and such.
Why do you expect any visual difference between X11 and wayland?
I do not expect “any visual difference between X11 and wayland”! But I sometimes wonder if it actually works at all or if it works really properly.
Like: GNOME on Wayland… is somehow boring these days. But Xfce on Wayland is kind of new (it’s beta, still) and thus interesting.
And personally I am also interested in DM (light GDM, SDDM, LightDM, there may be more…).
Just watching screenshots with no much difference is boring! … And yes, I personally find that many of those screenshots are more or less the same. I don’t want to stop people publishing — but I ask for some more information to gain more impact on insight.

Does this provide all the info you’d like to see?

The majority!
I just miss DM (like GDM, SDDM, LightDM). — But this seems to be not supported by neofecth, fastfetch and the likes.
But including a windows with neofetch, fastfetch or such is a pretty good idea. It’s done very simple and easy and provides important info.
Then, it’s even obvious if it is TW, SR, Leap as OS — or even something completely different.
Also, the used resolution is nice to know when watching a specific screenshot.
In this way, it gets of much more impact on insight for me.
@C7NhtpnK With Hyprland I just use seatd and tty1 for login… the rest are all GDM or multi-user.target.

@malcolmlewis Thank you! Interesting…
This is getting OT now. But as you mentioned it: I use Xfce on X11 with LightDM. I am looking forward to Xfce on Wayland. And I would like to replace LightDM even now (X11) because it is not “rootless”. GDM and SDDM are said to work rootless (with more support/better experience said on GDM).
@C7NhtpnK Most of my systems are multi-user no DE, No WM etc and info doesn’t fit on the screen either…
