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

beat this....

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:

    • I restored the default settings to Secure Boot. Big mistake

      By dorf · Posted

      I tried to get the latest secureboot certificate for my old Dell 7010 Optiplex machine.   I restored the default settings to Secure Boot. Big mistake.  Now when secure boot is on. The machine doesn't boot and complains about no booting devises.  The computer's secure boot can't find where to boot and the information apparently has to be entered manually.  Secureboot's settings are now years old and it can't find a new configuration.  What could be done here? There are plenty of files to choose from in the secureboot menu, but I don't know what to put there for each of the four Windows 11 upgraded from 10..... originally who knows what (used machine)

      They need to follow the standard for AAA game but they will go at lowest level for triple a game because will sell more, earn kudos and the milk it for years anyway. look how much they milked gta 5 and how they milked the original 3 - San Andreas and vice city. it is probably going to be a fun game but then they allowed someone to remake classics that somehow were more broken and worse then original i hope they don’t ###### up this one!!!
