While I love the background, the cluttered mass of icons makes my eye twitch. A modicum of organization, please.

[–] [email protected] 39 points 7 months ago (4 children)

The only perfect background is to disable all icons and keep it black

I run a Windows operating system on an m.2 SSD on the latest generation AMD CPU and GeForce graphics card. My name is Patrick Bateman. I'm 27 years old. I believe in taking care of my operating system and a balanced power profile and rigorous maintenance routine. In the morning if my game is a little laggy I'll put on a memory optimisation program while running benchmarks. I can score 1000 now. After I remove unused programs I use a file clearing tool such as CCleaner. On the desktop I audit all my shortcuts , remove any I haven't opened for a while and sort the rest into folders. Then I apply any driver or software updates before powering off my PC which I leave off for 10 minutes while I prepare the rest of my routine. I always use a keyboard cleaning wipe with little or no alcohol, because alcohol dries your fingers out and makes you type slower. Then screen cleaning, then wiping down my desk mat followed by a final system boot.

seriously. you guys are the same freaks that hide all their wires on your workstation for those lame pictures you like posting

[–] Crowfiend 8 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (1 children)

Yeah, imagine having a not-cluttered-as-fuck workstation that looks nice?

Fucking savages don't organize their cables.

I see a background

And I want it painted black

No icons anymore

I want my desktop black

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago

I've used and enjoyed that kind of setup a while back, but my new favourite is to have something that rotates different backgrounds. macOS has their dynamic wallpapers which you can set to cycle through different ones on a regular basis, which I really like. I still don't like having any icons, though.

On Android, I use Muzei to get a different artwork as my background every day. It's also very nice.

[–] ickplant 18 points 7 months ago

Same. I would go insane with a desktop like that.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 7 months ago (2 children)

The icons made your eyes twitch, but the Vista didn’t?

[–] ummthatguy 5 points 7 months ago (1 children)

The lesser of problems, I'd wager. Managed to bypass Vista... and 8. shudders

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Lol, dude should just slip in some skinned-up Linux Mint. Dad’s mind would be blown because OMG it’s so fast now!

Funny, because this looks a lot like how Longhorn did/was supposed to. Very pretty for its time.

Longhorn broke my heart, and I haven’t used Windows since (except to play Fallout)

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Agreed, I am also a Longhorn enthusiast

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Beta testing Longhorn, and it’s failure, just killed my last ounce of faith in MS. I went and bought a Mac after that, lol.

TBH, being into Macs are what got me into UNIX and Linux, though, so that’s something.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (1 children)

A while back I wanted to make a Longhorn-style fork of Haiku (imo the sweet spot between windows and linux), although I ended up quitting because it was too much work

Here are some mockups

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago

Now I’m trying to imagine Haiku, but with that Aero glass theme.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 months ago (2 children)

You're sure it's not 7? I loved the glass that 7 had.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 7 months ago

The task bar on 7 Looked Way better

[–] peopleproblems 3 points 7 months ago

Hah, as if you'd ever see the icons behind the millions of things I have running

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

Yeah what is this 2006?
