Here's my desktop!

I'm trying fedora9, and yeah so far it's horrible and awesome at the same time. That's partly why it's all cluttered and not really minimal like mine usually are

Fedora 9

Emerald for themes. I changed the "buttonless" theme that comes in the emerald theme pack.

The icons are Gnome Human and I don't know where I got them.

The wallpaper comes from deviantart somewhere.

Anyway here's clean:

and dirty:

heres my ubuntu x64 desktop

:woot:

Nice. I tried Ubuntu x64 a few months back, and I could never get it to work completely right (7.04 and 7.10).

As for me, I tried KDE 4.0/4.1, but quickly went back to 3.5. KDE 4 still seems very half-baked. :( Between the default panel that disappeared after the first reboot, to the new panel that wouldn't allow me to dock all the plasmoids onto it. But on the bright side, it looked sort of nice.

BTW, The wallpaper is from a picture I took at The Henry Ford Museum a couple months ago.

Nice. I tried Ubuntu x64 a few months back, and I could never get it to work completely right (7.04 and 7.10).

it took me a few tries and sleepless night to get it installed and configured right. in the end it was worth it and i haven't been in my vista install in 3 days. there are some great guides on the ubuntu forums for x64. definitely worth it if you have more than 3 gigs of ram installed.

hmmm assembly homework....I really enjoyed working in assembly during my computer engineering program although I think most people hated it due to it being mostly done on Pentium 1 computers in DOS with half broken keyboards and serial ports (We had to use them for the serial ports and I guess there was no reason to upgrade them)

Anyway, here's my desktop:

Kupo Dark Blue GTK and Metacity

Background is my own (random GIMP filters)

    • Microsoft brings Planner Agent to all Microsoft 365 Copilot users by Ivan Jenic Image: Microsoft Microsoft has announced that Planner Agent in Microsoft 365 Copilot is now generally available to all users with a Microsoft 365 Copilot license. Planner Agent is the latest addition in the string of AI features that Microsoft is implementing across virtually all of its products. The agent lets you manage tasks through natural language prompts directly inside Microsoft 365 Copilot. You can create and update tasks, check priorities, and get insights about current entries without leaving the chat interface. The general availability release comes with a handful of new additions on top of what was available during the initial rollout. A new plan picker lets you search and filter your plans by name, then update task names, statuses, due dates, or priorities through the agent. There's also a goals bucket now, which lets you group tasks under specific goals. This builds on the Goals view, a feature that was introduced as part of the broader Planner refresh that rolled out earlier. Image: Microsoft | Planner Agent in Microsoft 365 Copilot All AI-generated plans and tasks are created in draft mode by default, so you can review and approve changes before anything goes through. This is actually a thoughtful safety feature, because trusting AI to handle all your tasks without a human in the loop is usually a recipe for disaster. Having tasks initially saved as drafts is the best possible middle ground. Microsoft also says that not all tasks are executed equally. Simple tasks get processed quickly, while more complex ones, like building a plan from a Word, Excel, or PowerPoint file, are handed to a more capable model. Microsoft says this approach delivers the best performance, but it could also help with usage management, as you won't have to waste tokens on performing simple tasks. Planner Agent is available now across Teams, Loop, SharePoint, and other Microsoft 365 apps for anyone on a Microsoft 365 Copilot subscription.
    • To be clear I'm anti trump, the bigger point is why review this game at all?
    • Trillion dollar Microsoft has to reduce spending by hurting more people. Good job Microsoft. Good Job Asha.
    • That's a shame. The big Xbox reset when Phil and Sarah left and then Asha came on and brought a new team of executives, and all the layoffs last year and saying that the ABK merger wouldn't result in redundancies I am surprised they are calling for yet another reset and yet more layoffs.
    • Arkane, Ninja Theory, and Double Fine might be on the chopping block too.
