My 100th desktop apparently, first of 2004 as well.

Theme: Bluecurve 4.0, personal Ergo (and Olive) mod

Icons: Bluecurve from Fedora Core 1

Wallpaper: Personal mod of default.png and lightwaves.png from Fedora Core 1

WMP9 taskbar skin: Personal skin to match Fedora Core 1

Start button has been replaced by Press Start and Start Killer from TrueLaunchBar. I just reshacked "pressstart.exe" to have the nice Red Fedora.

Msgina.dll hacked with custom Fedora bitmaps by moi.

Toolbar is a Yz Toolbar theme taken and turned into a shell32.dll mod, didn't really want Yz Toolbar running.

Click on the thumbnails for the full view. First desktop is a clean view, second is a view with all the goodies hanging out:

It's only Dec 31, and 10:18am here...

Now, this is my other desktop. About the only cool thing I have on it (aside from XP's silver theme) is the "Angry Robo-Kitty" as my four-year old daughter calls him. She picked him off of deviant art while I was browsing there. Not bad taste, and I like it, so here we are.

    • No, "a great deal" for 32GB of DDR5 is $50, not $350. I mean I see what you mean, that it's a decent price compared to what's currently available, but you really should put a disclaimer in this articles explaining that it's still multiple times more expensive than it used to be.
    • Linux 7.1 stable launch looms as Linus Torvalds releases the final release candidate by Paul Hill Linus Torvalds has just released what’s expected to be the final release candidate of Linux 7.1, rc7. The Linux founder said that this RC is not small, but smaller than recent releases, which is a good sign because he expects the stable version to drop next week if things continue on this trajectory. Linux kernels see a merge window for the first two weeks of their life, where developers add new features, then there are about seven or eight weeks of release candidates before the stable version. Typically, there are seven release candidates, but if more time is needed, then an eighth release candidate is released too. This week’s RC’s biggest area of fixes was for GPUs, with networking just behind. Torvalds said that the rest of the release was “pretty random and spread out” with some architecture fixes, driver fixes, filesystem improvements, and build fixes for more unusual configs. In terms of specific pieces of hardware receiving improvements in this update, we had more AMD Zen6 models supported and fixes for AMD SDMA 7.1 and GFX11. Hardware that got improvements includes Lenovo laptops, HONOR laptops, and MSI laptops. Here are the changelogs for those: ASoC: amd: acp: Add DMI quirk for Lenovo Yoga Pro 7 15ASH11 Input: atkbd - add DMI quirk for Lenovo Yoga Air 14 (83QK) Input: atkbd - skip deactivate for HONOR BCC-N's internal keyboard ASoC: amd: yc: Add MSI Raider A18 HX A9WJG to quirk table ASoC: amd: yc: Enable internal mic on MSI Bravo 17 C7VF When the stable Linux 7.1 is released, it will be up to distribution maintainers, such as Canonical and Red Hat, to release the update to their users via the update manager. Some versions of Linux will get it before others, and some will never get it at all. Fedora and Arch-based distros will be among the first to get it, though. If you don’t get it, the security fixes will be backported to your system’s kernel, so you won’t be at risk, but you won’t get newer hardware support, which is fine if your computer works now.
