Been test driving Ubuntu Hoary.

GNOME (groan) 2.10

Clearlooks theme

Windows fonts

Mozilla Firefox 1.0.1

Some old Mac wallpaper (I think)

GAIM 1.1.4 in system tray

Weather notifier

Your desktop is just like mine :p Guess I'm not the only one using Tahoma size 8 (without AA) as application font!!

Explorer

Pasq

This is my attempt at porting "SystemGClassic", a metacity theme by hornett, to openbox. I'm using the clearlooks-indubstrial GTK theme here, and I decided to change away from using pypanel to fbpanel, which can give me just a system tray and pager and nothing else (nice).

You'd need to edit your .fvwm2 config file for that. Are you even using FVWM? If not, you won't be able to do that at all ;)

Yeah, wouldn't really recommend running in root..if you have to do anything in root you can always type su in the terminal...

Anyway here's another desktop, probably last for March. At least for Linux anyway.

    • AMD 9070XT

      NVIDIA officially supports Ubuntu, as linked above with the GeForce NOW Hands on I did in collaboration with Paul Hill.

      TO be clear I am not running linux today, however I keep thinking about it. And I want to make sure there are minimal obstacles if I decide to make that switch in the coming months.

      Yes, I actually glossed over the Linux part from the OP. You could always go for a 9070 XT and if you really want to play Ray Traced games in the future, GeForce Now is pretty damn good on Linux https://www.neowin.net/news/nvidias-native-geforce-now-app-for-linux-bridges-the-gaming-gap-hands-on/

      One reason it might be running hotter is dust build up within the cooling or perhaps the paste has dried out. You could always try repasting your old GPU and cleaning the cooler. Your experience in Linux will be much better with an AMD GPU; the performance in gaming is much closer to Windows than nVidia would be. I personally think on Windows, AMD drivers are junk.

      I reviewed it back in March, but I didn't have a 5070 at the time https://www.neowin.net/reviews/amd-rx-9070-review-vs-rtx-5070-4070-and-rx-9070-xt-7800-xt--just-good-enough/ When I reviewed the 9070 I did have a 5070 to compare it against, so the scores are there for the 9070 XT. it outperforms the 5070 in raster, and is barely neck and neck in Ray Tracing. So it's better than a 5070 in everything but Ray Tracing where it is neck and neck, or just under. To be honest, the uplift from 3080 when it was new to the 9070 XT is not as great a step up. If you can find a used 4080 Super for around the same money, you would probably be better off, but if you only want to buy new then the 16GB 9070 XT is the best value for money in its category.
