Been using this one for a while.

I don't really have a computer, only my work laptop with a plain background

 

[kernow]

Tell you what though, I don't have any icons on my desktop, never have
Not quite understood why people have links to acrobat and stuff that is just associated with files - weird way to use a computer opening the app first and then locating your file

Odd
There's a start menu and taskbar sticky icons exactly for this reason

I've only started playing Scorn, but it's cool enough for a desktop

You think that's bad. You should see my 71 year old Dad's desktop. It will make you loose your shat.

I haven't run Linux directly for years but when I did I'd run fluxbox or something as a WM. people would use my computer and sit down to a plain grey wallpaper with *nothing* on the screen

No menus no icons no windows, just a square of grey wtf how do I use this? Oh there's a right click menu ok

Haha, nice. Since I use a tiling window manager I never see my desktop, so it's always empty. Didn't even bother with a background image.

I would run xfce sometimes and people would be perplexed.
I let my exwife's sister check her email one time and she simply couldn't comprehend that there were 2 completely independent displays running on the same machine.
These days people think my computer is broken because they can't find the start bar.
It's at the top of the screen... Where it fucking belongs.

I barely touch my computer anymore, so my phone home screen will have to do instead.

And here is my mobile for example
I always think it's a good judge of how your life is in order tbh

I've just looked at that again M
It's an absolute disaster I'm afraid. I never get the whole family photos or image that's gonna be covered in shit anyway

Laptop:

Might post the desktop later if I feel like it. Laptop is on Ubuntu MATE, desktop on Linux Mint. Basically the same shit but Mint wanted a bios update before it would boot on the laptop, whereas Ubuntu MATE booted right up and then asked me to install the bios update from the GUI. Much easier than making a live USB of the bios files so that's what I did.

 

[kernow]

Gui based bios tool for Linux jeez, this is definitely the year of the Linux desktop. I cut my teeth on slackware in 1998 and lol fuck you you're on your own.

 

[HellioN]

Might as well properly participate I reckon.
Might do the desktop later if it gets booted up today.
How about some lock screen action as well.

Gold trader eh? I dabbled a while back. Had about 200g of bullion

I tried Linux when my parents bought a Windows ME desktop, but I was only like 11 and Linux was fucking hard back then. Eventually got XP and stuck with that until about 2006 or so when I tried Ubuntu. Been using Linux ever since. Used all the *buntus, Mint, Fedora, OpenSUSE, Mageia, Puppy, Sabayon, MX Linux, Antix, etc. Nowadays I just stick with Mint most of the time, unless something doesn't work.

More of a silver guy but yeah.
I'd figure other than beans and bullets I best have something to hopefully fall back on when the dollar gets inflated into worthlessness.
So I picked bullion.

My first tango with Linux was Mandrake back in the day. Moved to Red Hat from there. Tried Ubuntu later but wasn't quite satisfied with it.
Went straight Debian for a long time.
These days I usually default to Mint or at least a Debian based distro, Most of my computing time is split between Android & Mac OS now.
