After a BSOD- and glitch-filled stint with Windows 8.1 the last two days I've switched back to 7 and updated the look.

 

One thing I never understood is why there aren't more people using a left- or right-docked taskbar. It wastes much less empty taskbar space) and gives you back your precious vertical space. Less scrolling! More lines of code!

(I really love this wallpaper.)

 

Also found a rather nice Eclipse theme (finally something less ugly!)

Figured I'd upate.  Installed Xubuntu on a computer the other day and found I really like the feel of the new XFCE.  I'd piddled around in it before but it seemed like it never had many of the features I really wanted from a full fledged desktop environment.  This new version though seems like it has every feature of Gnome 2 I ever missed after the advent of Gnome 3 and Unity.  I think I'll stick with this one for a while.

Cant figure out how to make it "cleaner"

Pin Spotify to your task bar, hide the Norton system tray icon and move the random stuff on your desktop to the documents folder... job done?

Also nice background :)

I understand.. Mine has no icons on desktop... only on the taskbar. :)

 

You can create folders on desktop.. and name them anything you like.. such as Games, Internet, etc..  so you could move the icons to the specific folder.

 

Or you can use most used icons on the taskbar and the rest in the program menu.

Shots of my Desktop and Start Screen.

 

The background image is a shot I captured with my HTC One X of a conference room where I taught an English class, weeks ago.

 

I had my Start Menu items separated and categorized but I like them all together (perhaps messy and cluttered) because it's more similar to the WP default tile arrangements. Click on the image to have a look a all the tiles from beginning to end.

      But building your own.. what? You can't build anything like the Steam Machine yourself. Even trying to get close costs a good deal more. Even just the CPU cooler in their price comparison is as big as the entire Steam Machine. If you want a regular gaming PC, then by all means, build that. If you want a a small console-like PC for the living room that is good for gaming, I'm not sure what else is a better deal. In the GN review, they only mentioned a small form factor Dell, which is like twice the size and hundreds of dollars more expensive.

      Those are some popular multiplayer games. But hardly "all". Just those that don't work on Linux currently due to specific anti-cheat implementations. I think it's also fair to point out the literally thousands of games that don't work on the PS5. And it's not locked at 1080p. That's the default, which you can change.
    • Ubuntu Livepatch arrives on Arm64 to eliminate system reboots for kernel updates

      By zikalify · Posted

      Ubuntu Livepatch arrives on Arm64 to eliminate system reboots for kernel updates by Paul Hill Canonical has just announced that its Livepatch service now supports computers with Arm64 processors. For those who are not familiar, Livepatch allows users to apply important kernel updates without any service interruption or rebooting. While home users will benefit from this, it’s even more important for critical machines that absolutely should not be going offline at all. The feature is available as part of Ubuntu Core 26 for Arm64 and Ubuntu Core 20 and onwards for AMD64. According to Canonical, this will improve the security of systems that aren’t security-maintained daily or weekly, and it helps organizations work towards Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) compliance. If you are familiar with Ubuntu, you probably know that most packages can be updated without having to restart the system. There is one big exception to this, and that’s the kernel; it typically requires you to reload the system to boot into the new kernel. With Livepatch, Canonical has done something so that you don’t need to restart to begin using the new kernel. Aside from Ubuntu Core 26, users with Arm64 chips running Ubuntu 26.04 LTS can also use Livepatch. If you want to learn more about Livepatch, check out its product page. There, you can also find a button to join Ubuntu Pro (it’s free for several home devices) so that you can enable Livepatch. By linking your computer to Ubuntu Pro, you will also extend the life of your Ubuntu install from five years to ten years. If you are running Ubuntu, let us know in the comments if you have been looking forward to this feature on your ARM-based computer. If you’ve had a compatible AMD64 machine for a while and never used this feature, let us know why in the comments!
