GNU / Linux November 2012 Desktops


Recommended Posts

I've been growing surprisingly fond of cinnamon. Moved my laptop over from ubuntu to mint 14 rc. I really like unity, but silly compiz bugs cropping up all over push me over the deep end :/. I'm amazed at how stable and bug free mint 14/cinnamon 1.6 is.

Greybird gtk, faenza icons, plank:

Yeah, I'm testing out Cinnamon atm. It's different, but less heavy than Gnome Shell.

Been using Arch as my go-to linux distro for a while. Been having problems since the Gnome 3.6 updates came along. The last update messed up my icons, however some google searching lead me to a solution. I had to recompile the nautilus source with an edited png, but it ended up working.

Using Cinnamon as the DE, with Gnome 3.6.x everything else (Nautlius, Theming, etc).

I just can't seem to shake this disease of distro-hopping. :grin:

This is my newest install. The first Cinnarch Beta, released 11/22/2012. My first foray into the world of Arch. And I really like what I'm seeing!

Fairly stock install, added the apps I love and changed the window border and wallpaper...

@ UncleSpellbinder, Xubuntu has come along way, I really enjoyed my experience with XFCE 4.10 and once those bugs with thunar and the app menu are resloved I will be trying it out again.

@ Stanca Laurentiu, A+ for originality

linux vm within a windows server 2012 vm on windows server 2012 with hyper-v!!!!

That's just mind blowing, testing a virtual client on a virtual server ... I'm very appreciative for the advances in technology we have today along with the affordability and server downtimes!

It was actually very easy for me to pull this off but it required a lot of patience!!!

hyper-v has issues running ubuntu 12.10 tho it runs like a dog.

and i'mma try to have a vm within that.... arrrg it's harder since it runs hard like a dog. seriously.... just loading firefox is slow as hell... ubuntu sucks on this vm....

fedora flat out won't install.. it will only run on a live cd, I install, then it weueueuws about a font missing, then loads the wallpaper then goes "uh oh" something happend and don't boot....

Here's a Linux vm within a linux vm :cat:

    • Bose QuietComfort Ultra Gen 2 headphones are down to lowest price in over a month by Taras Buria Bose's second-gen QuietComfort Ultra headphones are premium over-ear headphones with noise cancellation, but right now, you can save 16%, thanks to a discount that brought the headphones to a new lowest price in over a month. While the general look and aesthetics remain unchanged compared to the previous gen, the Gen 2 features redesigned wear-detection sensors, which accurately pause your music the moment you take them off. Additionally, the headphones now support lossless audio via a direct USB-C wired connection, letting you enjoy uncompressed sound when plugged into your laptop or phone. There is also spatial audio support (works wirelessly) for a more immersive audio experience and improved noise cancellation, which makes the QuietComfort Ultra go-to headphones for many users on long flights or other scenarios when they need to isolate themselves from the surrounding noise. The QuietComfort Ultra (Gen 2) also features Bluetooth Multipoint for seamless switching between two devices at once. As for battery life, you get up to 30 hours on a single charge (up to 23 hours when using spatial audio). Besides good audio quality and noise cancellation, the headphones should be comfortable to wear, thanks to the lightweight 250-gram design and soft protein-leather ear pads. The QuietComfort Ultra Gen 2 are available in four colors, and all five are now available at the lowest price: Bose QuietComfort Ultra Bluetooth Headphones (2nd Gen) - $379 | 16% off on Amazon This Amazon deal is US-specific and not available in other regions unless specified.

    • Started implementing weapons! Here's a little sneak peek! 👀 Animation was done inside of Unreal Engine using Control Rig! Really useful tool, I don't have to go back and forth between Blender and UE, you can basically make tweaks while the game is running.
    • Keep in mind Intuit has lobbied like crazy to keep taxes complicated so they can continue to sell tax software. They also got caught hiding their legally mandated free version so they could release a second one that pushed countless people into charges they didn't need to pay to file. Intuit leads the charge on inventing problems so they can sell you the solution and disrespecting you in the process.
    • Oddly, there was a time that UFC games were culturally relevant, largely because of the graphics and gameplay that was different than the norm. But it seems like as the sport grew in popularity, gaming outlets stopped talking about the games.
