>>108907919I broke my mint install so I had to be on windows, I'll post that one later when i fix it
>>108907953why did you use GNOME in our modern day
i'm too retarded to set up a tiling wm
>>108908060Anon, a tiling wm is not a sign of intellect. It's just a preference. It's ok to use Mate, Cinnamon, KDE, XFCE, or even GNOME, if you like it.I like that classic bluecurve look.
>>108907962YOU, I LIKE YOU!>>108908163horny, but good pentium specs
am i the last nigga still using dwm?
>>108907903nice>>108907942nice
>>108908060Yours looks comfy bro. Literally just finished upgrading from 42 -> 44. First bumpy release upgrade I've had since 32 -> 34, but all worked out well in the end.
>>108908716You skip every second Fedora? Why not just run N-1 i.e. Fedora 43?
>>108908737I like staying on even numbers, and there's something comfy about riding out the release two bumps back until EOL. Today is EOL for F42, so I moved on up.
>>108908750Haha fair enough. Me, I suffer from shiny new shit syndrome.
>>108908163Make 'em bigger
>>108907957No joke, this is exactly what I have wanted my computer to look like for years. Is there any way to dig up these themes from their ancient tombs? Anything similar in the modern era? Especially the icons, every few months I try making my own svg icons for every app I use and then giving up once I realize how much work it is and how hard it is.
>>108908364>ricing linux to look vaguely like macos instead of just using it
>>108907903how the fuck do you have 10gb ram
>>108909164Broke nerds will do this shit. 8GB that cane with the PC in one slot and some 2GB they got for free in the other.When I lived in a trailer as a teenager in the mid-2000s, my XP hand-me-down PC started with 256MB RAM. Enough scrapping over the next year got me to 640MB, kek.
>>108907871Why are you guys letting desktop threads die? What's the reason? Do you hate desktops that much?>>108907919While true, most desktops here looks the same even on LinuxWayland fags change the color scheme of their retarded stuff and call that a rice, mintfags don't change anything and call that a rice, KDE fags are the same as mint (default KDE looks as shitty as w10/11), or they use windows 7/xp/2k themes... Everything's a copy of a copy of a copyNot complaining tho, it's hard to come with something unique, I can't do it either, we are all npcs, the only different thing might be the wallpaper and even that can be summarized to either tiled papes, porn papes, nature papes, or no pape at all
>>108909187Oh and sirs I forgot anime papes
oldie from last year's spring>>108907957>>108907962absolutely great desktops, i assume they come from the 2010s, yeah?>>108908060i see you are a cultured man, fine taste in anime>>108908157not a fan of your font rendering but everything else looks fine>>108909023>"ricing linux to look vaguely like windows instead of just using it"don't you see how retarded this kind of mindset really is? maybe there is a preference over operating systems, ever heard of one? maybe the dude just likes linux but also likes the look and feel of the mac.

>>108909685i've used trinity in the past and it didn't cause much issue (apart that for some reason the bottom panel didn't hide when playing a youtube video)from what i understand trinity doesn't have much maintainers

I love linux more than I love macOS.>>108910834And nobody is more dumb than you, because...>>108911209and I also had to edit icon packs to get this to look good. Like the icon pack I used just straight up didn't have status icons, so I changed them around and changed my desktop to where it would be a cross between functionality and behaving like macOS. Even then, it is a dream; macOS, and especially Mac OS X, never really existed like this.>>108911445get out of here faggot. I'm a woman, fuck off.

Does it really matter if the desktop environment resembles windows or not?I’ve heard people say gnome sucks and a bunch of addons are needed.I’m curious about desktop environments that work and aren’t structured like windows just to try something different for a change.If it doesn’t matter how’s kde and what useless things can I turn off and what settings from it are best to make it look better? Like time and gpu temp measures and playlist?Can xfce have that without downloading too many addons to future proof the setup?>>108914811Very nice!>32 yearsWhat was it like in Linux’s older days? What was lost from then you miss and what do you like about Linux now?Also you might like cassettefuturism it is another one of those steampunk adjacent genres but I think the 80s with a dose of sci-fi tech.

>>108915151It was pretty amazing. So, basically my family got a 386 running Windows 1.0 and expected me to show them how to use it because there was a computer in my classroom at school, but the problem was the school computer was an Apple ][e, so I had to teach myself DOS and Windows. When my dad upgraded to a 486, the 386 became mine and I borrowed the disks for Windows 3.11 that came with the 486 to upgrade my computer. Then my father subscribed to "The Microsoft Network", which was at the time basically a newsletter and some software catalogs. Then one day a packet came in the mail with an offer to join the Windows Chicago beta test. So I took all of my allowance savings and paid the $20 for Microsoft to send me the 20+ floppies to install Windows Chicago. Oh, it bears mentioning that by this point it's around 1994 and my father has upgraded to a 90MHz pentium with a CD-ROM drive and the 486 was now mine. So I installed Windows Chicago and then... "This is not a valid win32 application" became the bane of my existence. ALL of the programs I used that were written in 16bit Visual Basic refused to run on Chicago. I contacted the software vendors for 32bit versions and was politely told that I should go ahead and fuck myself because they had no interest in updating their software to 32bit until they saw whether or not Windows Chicago would be a flop or not. Meanwhile, a friend on IRC told me about this other OS called Linux, and how to send off for installation disks for a version of it called "Slackware" from a company called Walnut Creek. So I did that, and when it arrived I installed slackware and every single package on the extra packages disks. It was something like 75 total 1.44MB floppy disks. So I ran slackware, mostly in tty sessions, but occasionally firing up X11 with fvwm when I wanted a graphical environment. It was amazing, like running DOS and starting win3.11 when i wanted to, only it ran so much faster. 1/2
>>108915247Nice digs.
desktop threads are cool
>>108913470Lol I knew it. Kawaii.

>>1089151512/2 The thing about Linux then vs Linux now was that there were a lot fewer distros, and with only dialup Internet on a 14.4kbps modem, you picked your distro and that's where you stayed. Another cool thing about Linux back then was that you really didn't have any issue finding a Linux equivalent to the DOS/Windows software you were used to, and on the slackware disks, the only thing I DIDN'T have was a clone of Ski Free. Everything else was there. Fast forward to 1996, Windows Chicago has been out for a few months as Windows 95, the only software installed on more computers than Win95 was Doom and both KDE and Gnome hit the Linux scene. I tried both, and they really weren't much different from each other (seriously, look up a screenshot of gnome 0.33 and compare it to picrel, kde 1.0) so I decided to go with kde since I liked its logo better than the gnome footprint. It was like Windows 95 on fucking steroids. It did everything Win95 did, and it did it better and faster. I truly thought Linux was going to be the next big thing. Pretty much any Windows software you wanted, there was a Linux version and it looked better, ran better, and rarely if ever did it crash. But of course, Microsoft had their contracts with PC OEMs and had them over the barrel because anyone who wanted to offer a PC with Linux instead of Windows was told that if they did that, NONE of their PCs could ship with Windows. So of course they took it up the ass from M$ and Linux never quite got its time to shine. Then more and more software came out as more people bought computers and the divide widened every year until you get what we have today where YOTLD is pretty much a pipe dream. Even with Linux gaming stomping a mud hole in windows and walking it dry, there just isn't the comparable software options like there used to be
>>108911337did i say it was the wrong choice? no, i said it was the retarded choice. voluntairly choosing corporate branding is stockholm syndrome levels of normalnigger behavior. do you also wear coca cola t shirts?
>>108914811Weird how you are still using dotfiles made by trans people from Omarchy. You should install Artix and create your own dotfiles from scratch.
I still need to sort out the colour scheme, But I am happy with this right now.
Good night, gentlemen.
>>108916163I don't dislike trans people, plus dhh isn't trans, ryan isn't trans, and they do the majority of the dotfiles outside of themes. Since I'm a theme author for Omarchy myself, I have very few dotfiles that haven't been re-written by me. Also I have zero interest in running Artix. You use what you like, I'll use what I like.
>>108916621Well only reason I love Omarchy is the fact that they support trans rights and BLM and the whole Omarchy community and main guys are jews. If you like showing everybody your obvious support for trans rights and jews/Israel, that is very nice. We need people like you who's whole life's goal is to keep anons here reminded that jews like you exist and that Israel distro's like Omarchy is available.
>>108916633What?You do realize that there are plenty of Jews in the EU who want absolutely nothing to do with Israel, especially its government?Gentile assumptions from you
>>108916648Omarchy is literally advertised by jew and also (while completely separate thing) Omarchy is pushed by Israel. Do you even read anything about the things you support? I literally find and only use software made by Israel and that is why I love Omarchy.
>>108916638Only good one in the whole thread. Based
>>108907871hi ferns

>>108922237>>108922738No problem! Glad you guys enjoyed it. I've been the resident old guy 'normie' for a long time, married, homeowner, etc and just kind of fell into using Linux early on because of the win95 beta fucking me over and just never bothered to go back to Windows. I've had to use it for work because the medical software I use in my career doesn't work on Linux, even via WINE because it's got embedded hardware drivers for specialized medical hardware and the hardware won't respond when the software is running in WINE, so I have gotten to watch Windows progress over the years and at the end of every day I can't wait to turn off my workstation and go home to my Linux machines.

>>108925601luna nights is really fun. fumo posting finally got me to look the games up on steam and i finally bought 2 of them (one was a chinese fan game and i didn't realize it until after i bought it). ones a bullet hell the other is a 2d side scroller. as games they are fun. irl i want to shag cirno. i just really want nemlei to drop something on the first of june. i'm antsy, bro.
>>108925601I was wondering WTF he was talking about when it comes to your post, because I've got a gaming laptop that was brand new in 2018 that's got a GTX 1070 that I use as a media server, so there's no way yours with a 1650ti is old enough to have been obsolete 15 years ago. Your GPU didn't even come out until 2020.
>>108925671i dunno perhaps dude has had an rtx gpu in 2008
>>108925667>i just really want nemlei to drop something on the first of june. i'm antsy, bro.i just hope nemlei doesn't fuck it up, i'm starting to dislike the recent decisions from the april fools update
>>108925689what has been shown up to this poiunt hasn't led me to feel that way but i certainly do not like the decision to develop all routes at once. i can understand where it is coming from. if it continues at this pace it may lose steam, momentum and relevance.. but i do feel in my heart i'd prefer it to keep going slow and steady. i just wish she would talk about it more. when she stopped foing those first of the month updates i was so let down. those made my month. even if they were short and sweet that would be enough for me. i haven't cared about a game in active development for a long time. this game is lightning in a bottle. i just hope it turns out well.
>>108925689picture related
>>108925721it's mostly me being pissed off about the additions on the already released chapters, i guess it's nemlei's disdain for all of us, you can tell by the interaction with "fucking idiot" (which i believe is a representation of the game's community) being more in-your-face as well as a common theory of the game's events being set in the 90s or 00s essentially being retconned by ashley's now-revealed birthdate. it came across as "fix what wasn't broken" to not just me but to the /vg/calg/ folks as well, all purely out of spite, it's not like nemlei hasn't alluded to her spite for all of us anyway in her posts either.
>>108925831 (cont.)all in all, it's not like my hype for burial has faded altogether, i came to really like the cliffhanger route of d3cay, i sincerely believe burial will be on par, though i do not blame nemlei if she indulges in further spite by making burial intentionally terrible, after all if i had a community as terrible the coffin community and was doxxed by denizens of this site or some other chan-like imageboard i'd hate the ever living shit out of the community as well and would definitely want my curse to be lifted as soon as possible
>>108925831i noticed the changes. in chapter one i knew i didn't remember there being a "press a button to call mom back" included in the orignal release. i've put something like 20 hours into the game but i haven't fleshed out all the routes. i'm stubborn. i'm waiting for mine to be continued. i thought she had already confirmed the game takes place before the turn of the millenium. when was ashley born?
>>108925857i really hope she makes it what it deserves to be and doesn't lose her fire. i truly love this game. up there with deus ex for me.
>>108925859>when was ashley born?according to the recent additions in chapter 2, september 21st of 199x (last number obscured).
>>108925877so we are in the '00s. strange. maybe in this world the sperm that became steve jobs lost the race, on account of the no smart phones.
>>108925871in itself the game is very good story-wise, though gameplay-wise it's eh, it's a great pick for those who play games primarily for the lore, it is one of the few games that made me feel incredibly emotional, that alone is a sign of great writing.
>>108925896she is an incredible writer. gameplay is not what sells the game. it's wholly the storytelling. the puzzling complements the story abstractly. it is in essence an on rails choose your own adventure walking simulator, but that label doesn't do the game justice as to it's quality.
>>108925906>she is an incredible writerShe's great. I wonder if that's also due to her being a normal married woman and not a lonely blue haired freak like most women who make or write videogames.
>>108925890that means at earliest the game takes place in after september 2010 (when 1990 leyley recently turned 20) or at the very latest the game takes place before september 2020 (moments before 1999 leyley turns 21)>>108925906exactly
>>108925890>Implying smartphones didn't exist before the iPhone
>steam, steam, windows, steam...is this children's site now?
>>108926280You know adults play video games, right? The primary sales demographic is 30-40 year olds. They're buying and playing more games than any other age range. The majority of gamers use Windows and purchase their games via Steam. There's nearly a billion PC gamers globally so approximately 1 out of every 8 people will be a PC gamer. And most of them will be 30-40 years of age. In short, get fucked you snobby cunt. You're not better than anyone else just because you don't know how to have fun.
You don't need more
