Just reinstalled Ubutnu 8.04 and I'm back to loving Linux. I had been messing around with OSx86 for a while and there wasn't really anything that made learning the intricacies of a new operating system worth it. The novelty of running OS X on my Dell was great but with no wireless support and huge problems getting my graphics card running and the amount of time I spent fixing problems just wasn't worth it. When you consider I get full hardware support out of the box and can configure Ubuntu to emulate what I liked most about OS X then which is better for me is obvious.

Clean (I covered up anything that could have been considered NSFW)

Xfce

Xfwm4 (Katiola WM theme)

Theme is Nova-Blue

Running Fedora 8

I set workspace margins up so I could access the desktop menu without a panel button while windows are maximized.

I found the wall on 4chan when I was bored one day.

Oh and does anyone know how to change the layer that the Xfce panel appears on? I looked round on the interwebs a bit and apparently that option was taken out to improve focus management or something. Is there a config file somewhere I can edit to get around that?

Wow Primo Turbo, that is one kick-ass combination of metacity+gtk. I can't find the specific edit of the window borders, nor the gtk theme at all. Any way you'll share them? ty

I'm not finished with my desktop yet, I might post later in this thread.

It appears the filename of the metacity and the actual name are different. Here is the metacity - http://ebupof.deviantart.com/art/Shiftie-Bred-81324382

Clearlooks-colors contains Murrine Brave.

Well I guess you learn something every day, especially while using linux. I was trying to figure out how to get a good print screen with no terminal or other program showing with the ability to choose the filetype of the screenshot of it and stumbled upon ksnapshot, I recommend it to anyone who was in the same position I was in :p

Lets see your desktop :D You still on fluxbox?

Sure am. Fluxbox... :wub:

Switched from Fedora to (X)ubuntu a few months ago, but everything is pretty much the same for me.

Lots of Linux torrents seeding in Transmission (running decoration-less) and Pidgin is also running decoration-less. Those two apps I typically have pinned to all desks, though I don't switch desktops very much at all. Conky running as my resource monitor. The "messy" pic is how my PC typically looks. I have a few terminal sessions opened, and these I keep tabbed together in the same window. Not sure if Gnome's window manager allows tabbing like this, but the title bar is sectioned and clickable to display whatever docked window I dragged into the tabbing feature (you can tab completely dissimilar apps together, if you like). My wall is almost always some girl or another that attracts my eye, typically with exposed flesh. Good thing that the Transmission window is where it is. ;)

That desk looks sweet! Would you mind posting links to where you found your GTK and Metacity themes? I have searched google but can't seem to find the same ones.

^^^ Just for your info, you left the email contact info for "Jody" un-blurred. Not sure if that was an oversight, given your blurring of other such data in your screenshot.

Damn! She won't thank me for that! Thanks for pointing that out to me Mark, but looks like I can't edit my post now anyway. :rolleyes:

I posted the exact links on the first page, a bit after my first post.

    • Lol I had one of these turn faulty in Jan, guess it wasn't just bad luck lol
    • I'm team Rossmann all the way. I have the exact same NVME, altough not in an array like him.
    • It had gone weeks ago. Although thinking about it I'm on the beta.
    • They thought value of their goods would forever only drop like it used to and didn't account for sudden increase in price because of all the Ai hype. Tough luck Samsung, don't try to weasel this one out. Also American customer protection laws are a**. In Europe, you need to be compensated for a functioning product of same or better characteristics (not same price point as when it was originally bought!) if it can't be repaired and when you receive a replacement product your warranty starts from scratch because you received a different item than you previously had and old warranty thus cannot apply to it anymore. If your actual item was successfully repaired, warranty gets extended for the period the item was in service. If item is repaired to a significant extent, warranty also starts over from scratch because major part of it was replaced. Americans need to fight to get this kind of consumer protections because they are constantly getting screwed over.
    • Microsoft releases new Windows 11 Media Creation Tool with the latest updates by Taras Buria Patch Tuesday updates arrive every month, bringing users new features and security updates. To make sure customers have access to the most recent images, Microsoft also releases updates to the Media Creation Tool app, its official utility for Windows 11 installation. Today, the company pushed new ISOs to Media Creation Tool, allowing you to create images with the June 2026 Patch Tuesday updates. With the latest update, the Media Creation Tool now downloads KB5094126. It is Windows 11 version 25H2, build 26200.8655, which is also available via Windows Update. Note that the app itself remains on the previous version, which you can check in Properties > Details. The only change is that it now downloads a more recent Windows 11 build, so the only way to check is to download an ISO. The June 2026 Patch Tuesday update is a special release for Windows 11, as it brings a new performance profile to make the operating system more responsive and snappier when rendering various user interface surfaces, including the Start menu, quick settings, and more. It does so by spiking processor speeds for a brief moment, resulting in higher loads for a second or two. The so-called “Low latency profile” is rolling out gradually, but you can force-enable it with the ViVeTool app. Other changes include webcam improvements, Task Manager updates, shared audio support, and more. You can download the Media Creation Tool app from the official Microsoft website using this link. Besides MCT, Microsoft lets you download Windows 11 ISO as a file directly from the official Windows 11 website. However, you will need a third-party app to write it to your USB drive. Check out this guide if you want to know how to do that.
