Went back to Debian so I could actually use the proprietary AMD drivers for my video card.

OS: Debian Linux 6 (64 bit)

DE: Gnome 2.30.2

Wallpaper: Photo I took of the woods behind our house

Icons: Faenza Wolfe Debian (http://gnome-look.or...?content=140951)

Window Borders: Ordinary (http://gnome-look.or...?content=127948)

On a side note, has anybody gotten Steam working on anything other than Ubuntu? I'm not much having much luck installing Steam on Debian 6, although it is nice to play some of my non Steam games with all the particle effects turned on and at a resolution higher than 640x480, :-)

Edit: Will get you a screenshot as soon as Neowin decides to stop saying "Upload failed".

Resized it and put it on photobucket.

I have Steam working on Debian 7 (using this guide); I'm not sure if it will work on Debian 6. Although its still in release freeze, Debian 7 is very stable and the proprietary AMD graphics drivers work properly. If you want to use GNOME 2 with it, check out the instructions for Wheezy on the MATE wiki.

Arch Linux

Nothing much changed since last screenshot.

I'm using Zukitwo theme, Zekton fonts, Adwaita icon set, and a wallpaper I found in one of the GNU/Linux desktops topics.

Everything else is on the shot :) I'm using archey2 for this sysinfo.

    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates

      By Legend20 · Posted

      You are clueless. The updates are done in the background so the next time you open Edge the updates are applied automatically. There is no need to close all your tabs. Just keep browsing like you normally do. Clearly you don't use Edge and are just one of those haters that complain for the sake of complaining.

    • Windows Server gets DNS over HTTPS (DoH) support

      By Legend20 · Posted

      Microsoft is busy. Lots of changes to be released imminently for Windows server or soon. Also, lots happening for next version as well. Third party virus scanning software is being moved out of Kernel mode to avoid repeat of Crowdstrike incident. Windows Protected Mode and Windows Ready Print no longer require third party print drivers to be installed. New storage stack being developed. New NVME drivers now available for Windows Server 2025 to improve local NVME drive performance by 60+ percent. NVME-Of of fabric being worked on for next release to improve network access to NVME drives. ReFs (next file system) now has ability to boot and will become default file system in next release of Windows Server. ReFs improves on NTFS in several areas including resiliency and reliability and scalability. New update stack is being worked on to unify Windows updates, and updates for drivers and first party/3rd party application software. A stricter and more robust third-party driver certification program (ODI) is being worked on to improve performance, thermals, battery life, and reliability on modern Windows hardware by tightening how OEMs and IHVs (Intel, AMD, Qualcomm, NVIDIA, etc.) build and ship drivers. There is a tone more but too numerous to mention.
    • Windows 11 gets better widgets, new Screen Tint feature, and more in the latest build

      Now disable that stupid OneDrive backup request when Windows starts please. So unbelievably frustrating to only have “remind me later” instead of “no and never ask me again”
