Mine is kinda boring; just regular old Debian stable with one of their default wallpapers.  I did pull in a newer kernel from backports for better hardware support but that's about it.image.thumb.png.79ea4e7f759178bbfa84df202d38cc17.png

The above uses Rainmeter for the clock and the monitors on the right side. I'm nearly to the point of getting rid of the icons on the left, I just need to finish syncing the NextCloud situation and having it there reminds me when I log in. And Indiana Jones Desktop Adventures is fun. :laugh:

A link to what my Linux setup looks.

Can i get a link to that wallpaper please?
What are you using for the menu bar?

I believe at the time, that was Bartender. Ice can do it as well. 
 

The wallpaper is dynamic and comes from 24 Hour Wallpaper app.

Setting up a machine for my wife's grandmother and got reminded of this old wallpaper from back on like Debian 6 or something, so I felt nostalgic and set mine to it to close out 2024, 🙂

Debian Linux 12 with Gnome.  Using several extensions; like the "AppIndicator" extension for system tray icons, "ArcMenu" for the Windows-esque app menu button, "Dash to Panel" to put it and a whole taskbar at the bottom, "desktop-icons-ng" to add desktop icons, "GPaste" for easy clipboard history management and a few others.

      The site is pretty sparse on features / tech specs. Can I plug it into a PC/hone/Switch via USB-C and use it as an external display? If so, what's the virtual resolution of the screen, the refresh rate, PPI of the image etc? Is the text crisp enough to use for coding at say 12pt? Is it good enough for playing dark games, like say Path of Exile 2? How about fast games like car racing games? Just how do they expect anyone to order this thing without giving out all this info?
