post 'emrandom shit to talk about: anyone else shares devices with others? i let my cousin play on my laptop, he recently came from switzerland to sleep over for a week, i let him log in to his steam and install his games (our tastes in games differ). safe to say it's his first exposure to linux :^). another bizarre fact is that he literally only recently discovered how to roll an iso to a usb stick after i was helping him troubleshoot his windows not booting up. it's bizarre because how the fuck are you an avid gamer when you don't know how to maintain your battlestation in terms of software?
>>108576151There's something nostalgic about windows 7 and particularly that cmd font, even though I'm not really a fan of it. That's a pretty solid theme though, looks almost real.
>>108576151Windows 2000 is the best look. If I were to copy Windows I'd copy that.
>>108576200I like fake win 95/98 aesthetics
yeah >>108576151 that's one of the best win 7 themes ive ever seen. only thing that gave it away for me is the transparency on the terminal and obviously the uname -a... in other words, it's undetectable
>>108576187aerothemeplasma, my guy, there's also a vista variant called vistathemeplasma.>>108576200i'm more on the vista side of design, probably because i grew up with vista themes for xp. there's a good 2000 recreation for linux too, it's called ice2k.sys, for icewm.>>108576394the terminal transparency can be achieved on windows. i was recreating something called glasscmd, back in the day people were fuckers for full glass setups, which were incredibly impractical in hindsight, but damn did they look cool. personally, i don't want to mislead people into actually thinking that this is windows, especially normies who may end up using my laptop, i'd personally switch every windows reference to arch linux's.
>>108576151super kewl
>>108577201>aerothemeplasmaI'll install this theme whenever I get a new laptop.
>>108576151is it just me or are 99% of extensions unsupported?
>>108576379Do you use Kvantum?
>>108580496No, just some some themes I found in the KDE store. Should I?
Desktop hopped back to Trinity on Devuan. I think I'll stay on it. Last time I used TDE I tried bending it into a pseudo-Unity experience. While it might be lacking in some areas, you'd be surprised the kind of software is in their repos. It's a complete user experience. And I find myself actually wanting to be productive instead of compiling obscure software to band-aid a modern desktop together.
Why is it so hard to get a work visa in China >___<
>>108580692It looked universally themed. But I now see you chose KDE applications that the theme would apply to. Kvantum allows you to theme applications, so every application, whether part of KDE or not, will have the same theme.
>>108580920Interesting, I'll check it out.
>>108580885because china cares about its people and the prosperity of their civilization
>>108580941B-but I want to contribute to it! I only have one more document left to apostille, and then I’m home free!!
>>108580987well we'll just have to see if based Xi approves wont we?
Too lazy to reboot under Ubuntu.
>>108580885>>108580987>b-but I want to coontributeYou don't. Do you know what it's like working there?
>>108581034I am confident based xi will appreciate the efforts of my labor!>>108581097You mean, like, solidly middle class for a fraction of the hours I’m currently working?
are distro hoppers utterly jobless or just pretending to use their linux full time? setting everything up properly takes ages. constantly wiping, setting up, rewiping, etc. would render your PC unusable for most of that time. maybe it's easy for them to do that because they literally only install a browser and nothing else to shitpost on 4chan
>>108581134it's quick when you know your way around
>>108580885No way that's a trans in the pic? Fucking hell.
>>108581142no matter how much you know your way around, i doubt it's ever quick enough to not be a total waste of time to constantly distro hop.

>>108581097Find another thread, glowie.
>>108581134>>108581157>>108582042it's really not that hard to install it and get your programs, sign into a few things. you can easily do it in your spare time if you want to. personally i dont distrohop. some people are just quick at typing and setting things up. if you have like 30wpm speed or some shit and you peck at your computer i can see it being agonizing hours to set up an OS. for others it'll be done well before opening the oven for dinner to cool off
>>108576151Is there now a Linux desktop environment which that closely resembles Windows 7?
>>108576151Windows 7 is busin fr
>>108584165cinnamon
>>108576379This is SOVL.>>108580885BASED as always.

>>108576379like the retro setup! I like it shitty looking and only firefox running on 2GB ram
>>108582009>t. ranny
>>108584064use case for icons on taskbar AND desktop?
>>108585571>I like it shitty lookingthe slight shittiness makes it very comfy indeed. what's that shape on your wallpaper? Möbius strip or just a distorted cylinder?
>>108585596things i open most often on taskbar, everything i use on desktop so i never have to open the start menu and use windows' horribly slow search
>>108585679yes exactly! not giving the slightest fuck and irritating everyone coming by and taking a look at my "rice"The shape is the Enneper minimal surface. There is a 3d math museum where I found these equally trashy visualizations https://virtualmathmuseum.org/Surface/planar-enneper/planar-enneper.htmlvery fitting
>>108585821>There is a 3d math museum where I found these equally trashy visualizationsThat website is awesome. I might steal some of the other visualizations. But I'd have to learn more about minimal surfaces first so I don't feel like a larper.
>>108585942I get it, but also I would say there is nothing wrong with just admiring the geometric aspects, like symmetry, self-similarity, etc of such objects.There's a video where a professor says, math objects could also be regarded as some sort of art, but that's in German, so don't know if that was useful, besides he's just some old dude, who knows if he's right
>>108586016Lucky I know German. Can you link that video?
>>108586016Also I agree in principle, but it still feels wrong to me. It's like presenting an important result you don't understand, or having a wallpaper with an anime girl from a show you didn't watch.
>>108584860Hello Cachy fren
here's my browser with the thread open + wallpaper + taskbar + random pic as per the request
>>108585863>debian & xfcethe patrician pick.

can't wait for 7.0 kernel... when are they gonna release it?
>>108584777>that Hikari and HomuraWho was it that made those videos? I know the art isn't his, but he made a video with that picture and another video of girls from h manga calling him a faggot.
>>108586915Mox, that's it
>>108576151i used windows 7 up until 2021 but im not nostalgic about it

>>108586903>64gb of ramwownice desktop
>>108587157bought it before the price skyrocketed luckily
I'm very basic
>>108587367pls turn off your integrated gpu.... it's consuming cpu performance even if its not used
>>108587387I'm idling at 0.8% I think I'm OK. I got a cpu without an igpu before this one and when my gpu died I couldn't troubleshoot. I got this one specifically because it has an igpu because of that. I am leaving it on.
>>108581134Conceptually, it's not that hard to preserve your data either by having a separate /home drive or copying .config + password manager / secrets + list of programs you need.However, since I use my computer for work I dread distrohopping even though I have a second nvme to test with. I've had a close call before where an installer only showed nvme0n1 and nvme1n1 and they had switch due to me moving the order in the BIOS or something. Thankfully I was autistic enough to exit out of the installer and do a custom install where I noticed the issue.I just use VMs most of the time after making a script that autocreates them exactly like I want them (because VirtualMachineManager's GUI is annoying). Unfortunately, using a Distro/OS in a Virtual Machine is like sex with a condom. Just isn't the same. So I'm in the process of distrohopping now.
>>108576151vertical panel support for aerothemeplasma wen
>>108581134am autistic enough that I find it fun to set up new distros and configure them how I like them, but I do it in VMs rather than the main machine.
>>108587590How is alpine? I hear its lightweight and speedy
falkon is and buggy piece of shit, but can actually post.
We used to have pretty cool desktops here. Why is it all only Steamkids and Winfags now? What happened?

Not enough gooner desktops here. You guys open to requests? Like changing your color scheme and pape temporarily
>>108588926can you post the wallpaper?
