Guess I'll start off this time: Ubuntu 16.04. Switched to full time GNU/Linux from WIndows. We'll see how that goes....

Xubuntu 18 - Not sure about the wallpaper - have been using it for a few years on my Google Plus page which makes it a great look there. 

 

I am using Terminator for the terminal and have Synapse installed on the system which shows as the blue icon next to the power plug in the task bar.

 

I switched over to full time Linux a month or so ago and have made myself at home there. :)

It's not too shabby. Not sure if I'm fully sold on it anymore, though. The team behind it are getting a bit too authoritarian with their decisions.

Mine. Kubuntu 16.04.1 with Arc Dark, Kawoken Icons and some fiddling about. I'm not done adding launchers yet. So far it's been pretty well behaved, although I'd like to know why every other background image in the slideshow seems to be black ... hrmph.
