There is no hardware acceleration for XBMC yet, the developers are just starting to code for it.

Its does now, this little 1.6ghz Intel Atom can play 1080p video perfectly! :)

Jazz Jackrabbit! That was my most favourite game ever!

Same here :D

Minimal Gnome (modular)

No desktop effects or bloated plastic windows (my windows appear instantly as if by magic!)

PM for Wallpaper (only have it in 1360x768, had it so long forgot where source is)

Pretty boring, but maybe worthy of a post because of Dockbarx which adds a Windows 7'esque taskbar applet and lets users be rid of the ugly and hard to theme default Gnome window list. I've not bothered skinning it because it works great as is, but it is very customisable and stable on my box. It's in the AUR for for Arch users.

Holy hell! Now that's a nice setup! Love the wallpaper, layout, everything!

Thanks!

here's the info.

Emerald - Oxygen Air 1.0

WP - 200723081211-3797.jpg

It looks really great + thanks for that applet, might give it a shot.

I knew I had seen those screenshots before today... Arch Linux forums ;)

It's quite a radical difference, KDE vs awesome, don't you think? I'm currently using gnome, but I'm very interested in awesome. I'm hearing it is supposed to be blazingly fast. Also, certain gnome tools have been giving me troubles lately (especially gnome-power-manager), so I'm more than happy to possibly dump them in favour of a bunch of acpi related scripts.

Sorry for the late responses. I changed my wallpaper since then and no longer have it on this machine... but I am positive I have it at work on a flash drive. I can upload it on Monday. I had quite the time finding it online.

Great Theme, can you offer details on where you got it or how you created it, also what distro are you using?

I'm using Ubuntu. The icon theme is called Minty. The dock at the bottom right is AWN with transparency alterations. I went into gconf-editor and made it so that AWN aligned right instead of center. Conky is displayed on the left with a very minimalistic config. My theme has since changed too and I was trying to find it for you with no luck. I've usually used lassekongo83's themes but don't see the one I had in there. I'm sure for that particular one I used Emerald.

I wouldn't put a pic of sewer pipes on my desktop...

and PC Linux OS really needs to switch to Kde 4.3.

Maybe this will be more to your standards.. :)

Howdy, how did you get the Gnome Version number to display. I tried:

${gnome}

But it didn't work, I mean:

${kernel}

Works fine. I'm confused :(

Right click the system Information screenlet/select properties/options/system information/Distribution name and version and put a tick in the box.

I use conky - I'm guessing that WaterMark is a separate app, one shall look into it.

I'm using Watermark. It's a 3rd party extension to screenlets. configuring conky to suit my needs is beyond my ability. My CRS is getting worse every day. :)

    • But building your own.. what? You can't build anything like the Steam Machine yourself. Even trying to get close costs a good deal more. Even just the CPU cooler in their price comparison is as big as the entire Steam Machine. If you want a regular gaming PC, then by all means, build that. If you want a a small console-like PC for the living room that is good for gaming, I'm not sure what else is a better deal. In the GN review, they only mentioned a small form factor Dell, which is like twice the size and hundreds of dollars more expensive.
    • Those are some popular multiplayer games. But hardly "all". Just those that don't work on Linux currently due to specific anti-cheat implementations. I think it's also fair to point out the literally thousands of games that don't work on the PS5. And it's not locked at 1080p. That's the default, which you can change.
    • Ubuntu Livepatch arrives on Arm64 to eliminate system reboots for kernel updates by Paul Hill Canonical has just announced that its Livepatch service now supports computers with Arm64 processors. For those who are not familiar, Livepatch allows users to apply important kernel updates without any service interruption or rebooting. While home users will benefit from this, it’s even more important for critical machines that absolutely should not be going offline at all. The feature is available as part of Ubuntu Core 26 for Arm64 and Ubuntu Core 20 and onwards for AMD64. According to Canonical, this will improve the security of systems that aren’t security-maintained daily or weekly, and it helps organizations work towards Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) compliance. If you are familiar with Ubuntu, you probably know that most packages can be updated without having to restart the system. There is one big exception to this, and that’s the kernel; it typically requires you to reload the system to boot into the new kernel. With Livepatch, Canonical has done something so that you don’t need to restart to begin using the new kernel. Aside from Ubuntu Core 26, users with Arm64 chips running Ubuntu 26.04 LTS can also use Livepatch. If you want to learn more about Livepatch, check out its product page. There, you can also find a button to join Ubuntu Pro (it’s free for several home devices) so that you can enable Livepatch. By linking your computer to Ubuntu Pro, you will also extend the life of your Ubuntu install from five years to ten years. If you are running Ubuntu, let us know in the comments if you have been looking forward to this feature on your ARM-based computer. If you’ve had a compatible AMD64 machine for a while and never used this feature, let us know why in the comments!
