I am taking the dive into Linux finally. Installed it on an old PC until I am comfortable to move it to my main machine.

Nothing too fancy yet, just default Gnome UI without the flash as my old ATI 9600 is not a fan of the flashy effects.

I don't like that one, reminds me of an old Windows progrma that created that kind of UI over top of it. Never worked properly lol

maybe my sleeping pills, but what old windows progrma that created an ui over it??! windowblinds? or what do u mean?

Complete guess just by looking at the screenshot.. LiteStep or a similar alternate shell maybe? Kind of reminds me of the *Box look and feel, ish.

Yea as Max said, LiteStep, just couldn't think of the name. Shell was what I was looking for.

What theme is that, wvcaudill2? Looks "glowey" :p

This look is sort of a mix-&-match between different things already installed.

The Widget Style is "oxygen-transparent"

The color scheme is "Obsidian Coast"

Icons are also from the Oxygen Team

Desktop Theme is called "Air" I think

I forget where the wallpaper came from

    • 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.
    • I don't get this David. Can you explain it please.  
    • 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.
    • 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”
    • Hello, The Media Creation Tool is still at v10.0.26100.7019 from October 2025. Just looks like the backend has been updated. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky
