你愿意为 Linux 桌面支付 20 美元吗？事实上，我会在下载自由软件时选择支付更多的钱！我这样做的原因是开源是值得的。对于 [Elementary OS](https://elementary.io/) 的拷贝，默认价格是 20 美元（你可以选择 1 美元，如果你无法负担，你甚至可以用 0 美元下载）。作为回报，你将获得一个出色且精心制作的发行版，同时拥有它自己的 Pantheon 桌面设计。


你可能会发现 Pantheon 已包含在软件仓库中，因为它是开源的，但你更可能需要下载并安装 [Elementary](http://elementary.io) Linux 才能体验它。如果你还不准备在计算机上将 Elementary 作为主操作系统，那么可以将其安装到虚拟机中，例如 [GNOME Boxes](https://opensource.com/article/19/5/getting-started-gnome-boxes-virtualization) 中。


Pantheon 桌面整洁、吸引人，并且有许多用户希望在桌面中获得的东西，但在普通的 Linux 桌面上却无法获得。


### Pantheon 桌面之旅


乍一看，Pantheon 桌面看起来有点像 Cinnamon、Budgie 或 GNOME 3 的经典模式。但是，Pantheon 最令人兴奋的功能是极小的接触。它在你很少注意到的地方都表现出色，直到有一天这里成为了你一天都会看的地方，并且会意识到它的工作方式确实改善了你的生活质量，更不用说让你过得愉快多了。


最明显的例子是“文件名高亮”。几十年来，Mac OS 一直有一个广受欢迎的功能，你可以高亮显示重要文件的名称。人们使用此功能作为快速视觉指示器，来告诉自己哪个文件是这几个的“最佳”版本，或者哪个文件应该发送给朋友，或者哪个文件仍然需要处理。它们可以是任意颜色，可以表示用户想要的任何含义。最重要的是，它是引人注目的视觉元数据。


从 Mac OS 切换过来用户往往在 GNOME 和 KDE 以及其他 Linux 中可选的桌面中怀念这个功能。Pantheon 悄悄地随手解决了这个问题。

当然，那只是其中一个例子。Pantheon 有很多你直到用才会想到的小功能。


桌面精致而吸引人，有所有其他很多桌面缺少的直观组件。在许多方面，它充分吸取了其他桌面好的想法，并避免实现多余的东西。

### 自定义 Pantheon 桌面


Pantheon 桌面表达了如何操作计算机的清晰愿景。这种设计的“问题”（至少在开源之外）是，一个人的偏好可能无法满足另一个人的效率。


但它是开源的。它可以更改，任何不能改变的东西都可以被丢弃。Pantheon 绝对是针对特定用户群的桌面，但是即使对于那些对桌面应该如何工作抱有自己期望的人，Pantheon 也会比初看上去更加灵活。许多内置设计都具有替代选项，当你无法根据自己的喜好进行调整时，你可以轻松选择其他应用。主题引擎可确保你的替换应用看起来与桌面的其它部分和谐一致，而通常的 Linux 系统兼容性可确保你选择的所有应用都能按预期相互配合。

这些替代品，可使你事半功倍。


### 受欢迎的补充


撇开这个桌面的词源不说，此桌面确实是许多 Linux 用户祈祷的答案（LCTT 译注：Pantheon 的意思是“万神庙”）。无论它是否是你的风格，Pantheon 桌面都是 Linux 用户体验中重要且受欢迎的补充。自己尝试一下，看看它是否是你一直期待的。

OK
Would you pay $20 for a Linux desktop? I would, and in fact, I regularly choose to pay more than that when I download free software! The reason I do this is that open source is worth it. For a copy of [Elementary OS](https://elementary.io/), US$ 20 happens to be the default asking price (you can download it for $1 or even $0 if you can't afford anything more). What you get in return is an excellent and heavily curated distribution that ships with its own Pantheon desktop design.

You may find Pantheon included in a software repository, as it is open source, but more likely, you'll have to download and install [Elementary](http://elementary.io) Linux to experience it. If you're not ready to install Elementary on your computer as the main OS, you can install it into a virtual machine, like [GNOME Boxes](https://opensource.com/article/19/5/getting-started-gnome-boxes-virtualization).

The Pantheon desktop is clean, attractive, and features many of the little things many users want in a desktop but could never quite get from the usual Linux desktops.

## Pantheon desktop tour

At first glance, the Pantheon desktop looks a little like Cinnamon or Budgie or the Classic mode of GNOME 3. However, the most exciting features of Pantheon are the smallest touches. It excels in all the places you notice the very least, until that place is the only thing you're looking at one day, and you realize that the way it works has literally improved your quality of life, to say nothing of making your day a lot nicer.


The clearest example of this is **file name highlighting**. For decades, Mac OS has had a much-loved feature whereby you can highlight the displayed name of an important file. People use this feature as a quick visual indicator to tell themselves which file is the "best" version of several, or which file should be sent to a friend, or which file still needs work. They're arbitrary colors and can mean whatever the user wants them to mean. Most importantly, it's noticeable visual metadata.

Users switching from Mac OS tend to miss this feature in GNOME and KDE and every other desktop option Linux has on offer. Pantheon quietly and casually solves that problem.

Of course, that's just one example of many. Pantheon is filled with small features that you don't think about until you need them.

The desktop is refined and attractive, with all the intuitive parts that have disappeared from many other desktops. In many ways, it has taken the best of the good ideas of many different interfaces and refrained from implementing the excesses.

## Customizing the Pantheon desktop

The Pantheon desktop represents a pretty clear vision of how a computer ought to be operated. The "problem" with this kind of design (outside of open source, at least) is that one person's preference may not be another person's efficiency.

But this is open source. Things can be changed, and whatever can't be changed can be discarded for a different option. Pantheon is definitely a desktop for a specific set of users, but even those of us with our own expectations of how a desktop ought to work might find Pantheon refreshingly more flexible than it first appears. There are overrides for many built-in designs, and when you can't adjust something to your liking, you can easily choose an alternative application. The theme engine ensures that your replacement application looks integrated with the rest of your desktop, and the usual Linux system buses ensure that all of your chosen applications communicate with one another as expected.

As compromises go, this one does a lot to meet you halfway.

## A welcome addition

Etymology aside, this desktop truly is an answer to the prayers of many Linux users. Whether it's your style or not, the Pantheon desktop is an important and welcome addition to the Linux user experience. Try it for yourself and see if it's the good news you've been waiting for.
