Show off your Linux desktop

Here's my new one. Just recently switched back to Ubuntu 10.04!

 

I'm rather fond of that background, Do you mind giving me the link to that image? Thanks.

 

Ubuntu Royal Grunge by ~techwizrd on deviantART

Here's mine Ubuntu 10.10 b1 -

 

Well, I'm just a newbie around here so whadda I know

Ubuntu 10.10

 

Kind of goofy, but I like it.

Excellence, as usual.

Nice theming/wallpaper. So how's Maverick? I could use a change from Mint.

Speaking of which, here's my desk ATM:

 

It's great
Thanks btw

 

Sweet, downloading it now; I think I'll try it.

 

Which Saint is that THomas?

 

Saint Anthony.

The wallpaper is The Torment Of Saint Anthony by Michelangelo.

 

Here's mine. Fedora 13. 22" LCD as my main monitor + my Latitude on a docking station as my secondary. I like to keep things simple (I don't even run Compiz), sleek & fast.

 

Just got 10.10 installed on my media servers:

 

Is it only me or does someone else find it strange when Ubuntu users just throw in release numbers or names without any context and without mentioning the distribution name - just like Windows users automatically assume that everyone knows that they're talking about Windows?

 

No..? because each distro has their own release numbers/names.. if you have paid attention each distro's release numbers aren't similiar..for example..Ubuntu is at 10.10.. opensuse is at 11.3..Mint is at 10..Fedora is at 13..you get the idea..though this is also coming from someone who distro hops and looks at distrowatch every other day.. Ubuntu is also a very well known linux distro..most of us here using it will apply that concept when looking at the release number

btw..some very nice desktops so far

 

I've pounded a few PBR's in that van, I believe.....LOL

 

I'm aware of that. But does that mean that everyone has to know alle the versioning/naming conventions of all distributions?

That's not true.
My statement: I'm running 13. Your task: Tell me what I'm running! Is it Fedora or Slackware?
Another Example: I run 5.4. Is it Gentoo, CentOS, an old Zenwalk...?
Or tell me what I'm talking about when I say I run "Dresden" - without looking it up of course.

And that means that there are no Fedora 10 out there anymore? I know people who still run version 8.
btw: Mint is still at 9.

And that means that everybody has to recognize it only by its release number?

 

i was saying as a general rule for the more widely used ones (sry should have been more specific) ..mint is at 10.its an RC..some could be running that.. but let's stay on topic....we are here to show off our linux desktops..not talk about version numbers and such

 

back to ubuntu 10.10
for some reason i always go back to ubuntu (>.<)

 

Ubuntu 10.10 x64
Mint-x theme and icons
AWN with a curved theme
My own version of the 10.10. default wallpaper

 

debguy, those of us that have been here a long time, pretty much know who uses what, and what they are talking about....hang around a while and you will too thus negating the need for such trivial posts, ok?

 

Fresh install of Ubuntu 10.10 since my previous install had a few issues. Ubuntu truly is a beast on an ssd. Wallpaper from Fedora 13:

 

First time EVER using Linux.Running Mint RC10 Julian in live CD, until I decide if I wanna dual boot or create a bootable USD flash drive.

 

That's a very nice desktop background. If it is downloadable, would you mind sharing the download location?

 

It is included in Mint 10RC Julian.I don't know of a download for it.I am really green to Linux.

 

Ubuntu 10.10

It ain't looking good for Winders Vista

 

I love my desktop. Clean Simple Rocking !!!

 

Once I get some stuff done on my laptop I'm going to install Unbunto 10.10. How do you get that bar on the bottom? I love that!

 

Mine is plain, however I like to use the Ubuntu-Mono-Light icons, and got rid of the Ubuntu-One menu and replaced it with the shutdown button. I like it.

 

Nice clean shots everyone. Although I think the double bars (top and bottom) are an awful waste of space. I just keep 1 on mine...

 

its: cairo dock/glx dock
you can search & download it from ubuntu software center
i installed Humanity theme on cairo dock to make it look better

their site : link

 

Agreed. Particularly with 16:9 AR screens of low vertical space.

 

One could also fill the panels with useful stuff:

 

Best wallpaper ever. That's from the Japan Linux Symposium 2009. M$ set up a booth right near the conference.

OT, but debguy I know you'll dig this:

 

I guess none of them knew who was the other strange guy.

Yes! Pretty nice. But I'm not really a fan of "uniforms". I remember a situation from a Debian user meeting:
A: "I've lost my shirt! Has somebody seen it?"
B: "How does it look like?"
A: "It sports a Debian swirl."

 

My current desktop:

 

^^^ Very nice! If downloadable, please post link.

Tips for Ubuntu Showoffs:
Try installing Global Menu and Cairo-Dock.

 

+1 for cairo dock
-1 for global menu
even
i installed global menu several times before and
i feel lost every time i use it and i end up removing it

 

There are some themes I thought was nice: Equinox and Nimbus (OpenSolaris theme).

 

dwm on Arch Linux with time-sensitive wallpaper.

 

Here you go

 

Very nice! Is this wallpaper truly time-sensitive, i.e. does it consider seasons too, or is it just moving light and dark regions?

 

Set a Rotating Picture of the Earth as Your Ubuntu Wallpaper

 

Been a while, so here's Mint Julia x64:

 

^^^ Very nice!

1. I tried but could not get the taskbar to be thick. Help?
2. I like the maple leaf background. Link?

 

This is as close to a linux desktop that I have used in a LONG time.
