Quite usable. The only problem I have with the version I'm using now (one month old or so) is that it sometimes segfaults, but it doesn't bother me that much as I just have to click on "restart" for it to be up and running again, with running apps remaining unaffected. Feels more like a random dialog poping up rather than an actual segfault.

yep. Maybe you'll have to mess around a bit with font configs and make the themes look compatible (see e17 GTK theme that was posted here), but it'll work without major problems.

Those are not the same icons I was looking for, but I like them anywa:happy:y:

I got the wallpaper from a site jolupa posted at gnuinos: digitalboing.

No idea about where to get more Rox icons, those I'm using were posted by IndioCabreado some time ago, IIRC.

Lots of e17 love :-) I've also been using the Japan2005 theme lately. Do you mind posting a link to that wallpaper?

Here's mine:

Very clean and professional looking. I like it. And I generally dislike e17 :p. How's freeBSD by the way? I'm getting annoying at Gentoo when it comes to them closing bug reports and adding ebuilds to portage...

FreeBSD is great :) Very stable and fast. And minimal - a great platform to build on whether you are after a server or workstation. If you use gentoo you'll feel at home with FreeBSD.

    • Here is how to watch Apple's WWDC 2026 conference where iOS 27 is expected

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Here is how to watch Apple's WWDC 2026 conference where iOS 27 is expected by Taras Buria It is Monday, June 8, 2026, which means today is the day Apple kicks off its annual Worldwide Developer Conference, WWDC 2026. As usual, today's keynote will be full of consumer and developer-focused announcements, including new versions of Apple's operating systems, developer tools, and more. Apple streams its developer conferences, allowing everyone to tune in and watch the announcements live. Today is no exception, so here is how you can watch it. Apple WWDC 2026 will be available to watch on Apple's official website here. Also, you can stream it on YouTube and the Apple TV app on your Apple device. The stream kicks off at 10 AM PDT / 1 PM EDT / 6 PM GMT+1. Apple's annual developer conference usually focuses on new software experiences, so do not expect major hardware announcements. What is expected is the "27" series of Apple's operating systems, including iOS, iPadOS, watchOS, tvOS, visionOS, and macOS. Apple is unlikely to introduce major UI changes, but you can expect subtle tweaks to the Liquid Glass design language, particularly on Mac. One of the biggest changes Apple plans to announce today is a reworked, AI-powered Siri. The assistant will be available as a standalone app with a chatbot-like experience and Google's AI models under the hood. If you want to learn more about what is expected today at WWDC 2026, check out our dedicated article here. However, if you prefer a spoiler-free stream, tune in at 10 AM PDT / 1 PM EDT on Apple's official website, its YouTube channel, or the Apple TV app.
    • Microsoft making much needed change to Windows 11, 10 Patch Tuesday security updates

      By Captain_Eric · Posted

      For we consumer readers, it would be helpful if you clearly stated in the headline if the article is about consumer or enterprise. Then readers will know if the article applies to them or not. 2 cents.
    • This new cabinet design lets you run AMD, Intel, and Nvidia PCs inside one case

      By Steven P. · Posted

      At the moment I have my main PC and a test PC on my work desk. The test PC is also not inverted so I am not looking at the glass panel side, which is irritating.
    • Dell, HP PCs ran into endless reboot, BitLocker recovery loops but Windows 11 isn't to blame

      By Captain_Eric · Posted

      I'm glad you posted this clarification of the cause of so-called Windows 11 update problems that too often appear in the article headlines.. In the future, it would be better to readers if you took your time, did the analysis before posting an article about Windows problems, which end up being a waste of time. Just saying.
    • 25th anniversary Xbox Series X unveiled with classic translucent green design

      Nah. They'll milk the current generation in terms of design - controllers, consoles, but no meaningful hardware improvements. This is one reason why people aren't buying Xbox hardware - it's stagnant.
