Post Your Desktop

For anyone who doesnt know, I dont have a 2nd screen. Its just a non-existent virtual monitor that I had to make in order to get ATi as my primary card rendering cards and Nvidia as dedicated PhysX (although its not really worth the effort considering only like 5 games use it and only 2 or 3 are i might be willing to play).

Well excuuuuuse me princess! You shoulda screencapped the actual ipod screen

Swapping between

NOTE: Aston Shell allows no start menu / icons, I launch all applications through hotkeys.

So it’s just your wallpaper?

just upgraded to seven!

I’m really not a fan of the new taskbar in Windows 7 so I changed it back to the standard look.

Anyway, my desktop image is Okami artwork I stumbled across by complete mistake on DeviantART that I decided would work great as a background.

Yeah, just my wallpaper. I’m a huge fan of minimalism.

Do you just switch programs with shortcuts too?

Just trying out the new Ubuntu 10.04 alpha 3 in VMware Workstation :slight_smile:

I refuse to believe that someone would still want to use mac os after seeing this.

their ignorance and mac fagism is too strong

Saw it, pondered about it, and realized the OS itself still ain’t got shit on Windows or OSX.

Open source faggotry for the wannabe hotshot that thinks he took the position of the cool kid amidst the OS-war.

I would only ever use it on a laptop, I’m a Wintel gamer for as long as there’s no viable alternative :stuck_out_tongue:

Ubuntu isn’t the best Linux distro by far, or even the fastest. It’s the easiest for OSX/Windows users though.

Open source software is better in general than proprietary software as it can be updated quickly and efficiently.
Customizable hardware compared to proprietary hardware also wins out.

The thing about linux is that even though there are so many different distros, they all use the same kernel. And that kernel is biased towards the server market, meaning it was meant to be interacted with solely via a text-based terminal.

Any distro that wants to make a stable and fast desktop (especially gaming) linux is at a great disadvantage.

The server market is linux’ biggest foothold, they can’t afford to prioritize a desktop-based OS with all the graphical bling one would expect these days.

Right now it’s only really good on the desktop if all you do is surf the net, send emails and need a good office suite. Maybe listen to some music but that means you have to jump through hoops just to get the necessary codecs :frowning:

Hopefully they will see sense and make a different version of the Linux kernel for desktops and servers soon… :slight_smile:

Getting all the needed codecs is easy compared to getting the right Graphics drivers and Sound card drivers. Unless you have the most popular computer from 2 years ago.

Wireless drivers. If you you have cheap, non-genric wireless chip, you have no chance!
