Submit screenshots of all your *NIX desktops, themes, and nifty configurations, or submit anything else that will make themers happy. Maybe a server running on an Amiga, or a Thinkpad signed by Bjarne Stroustrup? Show the world how pretty your computer can be!
you can do this on debian, too. It's not specific to the OS -- it's the window manager. Specifically, this kind of window manager is called a tiling window manager.
Basically it just organizes your windows slightly differently. Instead of having them floating around like in Windows, Mac, or traditional desktop environments like GNOME, it tiles them -- when you open a new window, it automatically split screens it.
window managers also don't by default have things like a battery display or a wi-fi applet, like your typical desktop environment does -- you have to do that stuff manually by building some sort of status bar (there are various apps that provide status bars).
