The Official Linux/Unix Desktop Screenshots Megathread

I found this screenshot on Distrowatch - it's not mine, but I think it's the sexiest screenshot of a desktop I've ever seen in my life:

Now if only they'd put a comma after "fast" my life would be complete.

is that XFCE desktop ?

Peter1986C · Dec 11, 2012

That is not a full Desktop Environment, but a WM (normally part of a DE) which is in this case one that can be used autonomously (as a minimal desktop). I assume it is Openbox, Blackbox or IceWM.

archbang comes with openbox by default and i believe that is it.

Peter1986C · Dec 11, 2012

I was to lazy to check, lol, and the three WMs I mentioned are very similar AFAIK.

hellrazor · Dec 11, 2012

Yeah, it's Openbox.

Linuxmint 14 Nadia Cinnamon with kernel 3.7.0. i really love my tux

GreiverBlade · Aug 6, 2013

since its stickied to the front page, i guess its ok to revive that thread? huuuu step on!

standard Ubuntu 13.04 RR atm on my 3rd rig wich act also as a steambox
and hardware recognition is weird ... my R.A.T.7 wasnt fully functional while under win7 no probs ... so i use a OEM HP crap mouse atm ... doh!

strange 3.9gio ram and i have 8gb the 13.04 is also 64bits... i wonder why only 3.9gio is recognised and 8gb in the bios

mainly steambox but mostly emulator and linux test rig, i pick several different distro per month to try them and see what differ between them.

well PCSX on linux lacks some resolution sharpening and filter that the windows counterpart has but still its emulated near flawlessly and smooth

FFVIII is from where come my forum name here and my nickname that i bear since 2000 ... Squall

update Unigine Heaven 4.0

i assume you are using Wine to play skyrim? also, i have never heard of manjaro. Looks like it is a friendly version of Arch. Pretty cool!

Looks much more like TES IV: Oblivion icon, not Skyrim's (which has an icon with that dragon it has on the box cover)
And yeah, probably Wine. Oblivion runs perfectly well on it.

Yeah it's based on Arch. And I'm in fact using Wine, it works pretty well with oblivion, and classic game emulators. I've been trying to spread the word about Manjaro, I find it far better, and easier to use than Mint and Ubuntu, with stability on par with Debian. And Pacman is a dream to use. Also driver management is so much less of a hassle, and there is a far smaller chance of anything breaking. I had a proprietary display driver completely destroy my Mint install in a flash. I highly recommend Manjaro to pretty much anyone, it would have a much better first impression to noobies than Ubuntu I think. I notice that alot of people think Ubuntu is the easiest, and best distro that Linux has, they end up hating it, and get driven them away from Linux because Ubuntu is a really sub par distro, atleast in my opinion.

Using this install of Xubuntu 13.10 for gaming on the desktop. Everything runs great with Kerbal Space Program and hopefully Metro: Last Light will too.
