Here's mine. Changed up a little bit, but largely the same. Kubuntu 16.04, Kawoken icons, Breeze + Arc Dark Theme, and a nice Mars Collection for backgrounds. (Yes, I've finally gotten away from the Kittens Collection ...)

 

Now that I've got some free time on my hands (rather annoyingly ...), I've installed some of my games again and bought a new one. It was only a matter of time, I suppose ... ;)

Still on the right side of the spectrum :) Still wish the battery would last me as good on linux as it does on WIndows, but otherwise I'm all in. Been using it for quite a few months now, starting to getting the hang of it.

Looks like the Ratchet and Clank movie.

I meant a link, as in, where to download it. :p

Spiced up things a little bit.
OpenSUSE Leap 42.2 with SLE Classic DE is now my choice when it comes to linux. It's simple, its intuitive (its something I think I would even give my mom to use, unlike regular gnome3) and I really like it, very polished. I really encourage everyone to try it out :) works very "Windows-like".

Nah, it's just some custom fork of gnome-classic shell that SUSE team coocked up for its SUSE Linux Enterprise and now also lives in openSUSE. Greys are boring of course, but at least it works well.

OK, just the looks. Not the functionality. ;)
