To those that hate gnome 3 ; why not try mate? Mint and arch can easily get it installed, it's a continuation of Gnome2.

Anyway, my RPi is currently distcc-compiling 44 things so I'll screenshot when that's finished :)

xfce is pretty nice these days too, its what I've been using on my arch partition:

XFCE 4.10 with compiz/emerald

Zukitwo GTK2/3/emerald/panel background

Dockbar X with "invisible" and dockxyz themes.

I love Nextstep's UI! I'm going to have to try this out! How did you get the time/date/system specs widgets? Is it conkey? What theme?

Hi mate,

WindowMaker has always been an old favourite of mine from a decade ago - it was the 2nd WM I'd ever tried and I remember having pretty much all of the available dockapps loaded. Gkrellm could never be as pretty.

What you're seeing is indeed Conky. The.conkyrc can be found in my github repo (in signature), and it's someone else's creation - though I haven't the foggiest who. I modified it to pipe text from a Google Calendar tool.

Cheers

Checking Ubuntu after a long long time, just installed it yesterday. Sorry for the large size of the screenie, just click the image below to view in original full size.

Cheers!

This is marvelous.

I installed ubuntu on my parents pc a few day ago

it ran fine on live cd but when installed i just got black screen

gonna go back and look at it though

My latest one. I'm slowly customizing it the way I want it to be. Not happy that the dock icons look crappier the smaller the dock gets :/

Click to view in original resolution...hopefully Imageshack won't screw up the image.

Hey, what cairo dock theme is that? I've never really used cairo dock because all the theme's I've found look so guady, but that looks nice. been looking for a new dock program as I've been having bugs with all the other's I've tried recently (awn, docky, plank, dockbarx)

Well, it's just the default theme. I chose dock style as '3d plane' and in appearances tab made the background and separator background completely transparent.... it looked crappy with those on lol.

Make them transparent and it'll look like mine does above.

    • Euro-Office must default to ODF to be considered "genuinely European", LibreOffice argues by David Uzondu Euro-Office is a web-based collaborative office suite that positions itself as a "European sovereign alternative" to American tech companies, backed by a coalition of developers including Nextcloud, IONOS, Abilian, BTactic, OpenProject, and, more recently, Tuta. The project officially went live a couple of days ago, but not before drawing heavy fire from LibreOffice developers, who called the marketing claim that Euro-Office represents the "first open-source office suite developed in Europe" a deceptive historical inaccuracy because projects like OpenOffice and LibreOffice existed decades earlier. Now that the project has launched, LibreOffice is back with another complaint, arguing that Euro-Office cannot consider itself "genuinely European" while it pushes proprietary Microsoft defaults on users. Euro-Office had promised to improve the OpenDocument Format (ODF) back in April, but the current release still plagues users with several technical failures. For instance, the suite lacks an admin setting to enforce ODF, and mobile editors completely block ODF saves, forcing files into Microsoft's OOXML formats. Some configurations force files into read-only mode, while editing frequently corrupts document formatting or erases data. LibreOffice thinks that merely supporting a format as an afterthought does not make you a sovereign alternative, as file formats are the battleground where" digital sovereignty is won or lost." The road to the first stable release of Euro-Office has been quite bumpy due to an aggressive public fallout with OnlyOffice, from which the coalition originally forked the project. OnlyOffice struck back by accusing the coalition of violating copyright terms under its AGPLv3 branding requirements by stripping the original branding anyway and forking the code. Getting Euro-Office up and running is a bit wonky (at least for non-technical users), as there is no direct installer to grab off the web. The easiest way we learnt is by using Docker. First, pull the official Euro-Office image from the GitHub Container Registry: docker pull ghcr.io/euro-office/documentserver:latest Then, run the container with active ports and a secure JWT token, enabling the test environment: docker run -i -t -d -p 8080:80 --restart=always -e EXAMPLE_ENABLED=true -e JWT_SECRET=my_secure_jwt_secret ghcr.io/euro-office/documentserver:latest And finally, open a web browser and go to the following address: http://localhost:8080 If you are running this on a remote server, replace localhost with your server's IP address. You will see the Euro-Office test page, where you can create new text documents, spreadsheets, or presentations directly in the browser. Image via Euro-Office Nextcloud promises that proper standalone desktop versions and mobile apps will arrive in a future release.
