Ami Banerji’s Linux desktop is clean, simple and open. What it gives up in widgets it gets back in simplicity — and that’s a good thing. Here’s how to get the same look for your computer.
Ami is running Ubuntu 14.04 “Trusty Tahr”, so while some of the look and feel is Ubuntu-specific, you can get a similar look with any Linux distro. Here are the components you’ll need:
- The wallpaper from WallpaperUp
- Conky, a lightweight system monitor for Linux systems
- Harmattan for Conky
- QlockTwo by none other than okubax, whose work we’ve featured before here
- The Numix GTK theme
- Plank, an application dock for Linux for the launcher at the bottom of the screen
- The Numix Square icon set to replace the system icons

Looks slightly cloudy.
