The Official Linux/Unix Desktop Screenshots Megathread

is it a stable OS? and how is it security wise?

i really dont know the 8.10 is beta still but i hear its not that bad i was using kubuntu 8.04 it was pretty stable
 
*buntu 8.10 is due for release tomorrow. But it's basically done -- you can get a daily build image here:

There won't be much changed in the next 24 hours, and whatever is can be updated via adept manager or apt-get. :)
 
Here's mine -- Kubuntu 8.10, VMware Player 2.5:

I can't get the cube to work right in my Fedora 9/KDE 4.1 install. I'm wondering if it has anything to do with KDE 4.

me neither hummmm:wtf:
 
KDE 4.1 has some issues with older Nvidia cards (pre-5000 series), so that's one problem. Also *buntu 8.10 has a new version of X.org that is giving people some challenges. Here's the 8.10 release notes -- you can see whether any of those issues are behind your Compiz problem:

The only thing I've noticed on mine is that the KDM login GUI does not always run automatically on boot. Half the time it dumps me to the CLI and I have to log in there and run "startx". But then it starts every time -- it might be due to overclocking or something like that.
 
My linux desktop is not that fancy :(

Heres Ubuntu 8.10 running on my EeePC 901 connected to a 20" Samsung ;-)

I just saw this thread and thought i would show off some
screenshots. Running a custom Gentoo install, kde3 and 4
and, Compiz-Fusion. For those of you interested in checking
out Compiz-Fusion without doing a linux install. You can dl
the Sabayon Linux LiveDVD. It comes with all the different
video drivers already installed and Compiz-Fusion. Sabayon
is a Gentoo based distro. For those of you with ATI or Intel
video cards i would recommend Ubuntu/Kubuntu. ATI and
Intel both have Open Source drivers and Ubuntu comes
with Compiz-Fusion already installed 'it just needs to be
activated' and, is very user friendly.

Anyhow here are a couple of screenshots. First is the Cube transformed
into a Cylinder and the second is the Cube transformed into a Sphere.






Here is a video with WinXP running fullscreen on viewport 4.

Wow this thread was a god send.

I've tried like three versions of Linux for My PS3 and I can't figure out how to...

A. Change the Resolution

B. Make it KDE style

C. Get the internet to work.
Also I know this is a screenshot thread but since its linux related can you guys help out thanks?

Plus for some reason I have no System selection in my task bar only Application, Places and my name I think.

xubutnu or whatever its called 8.10
 
You can install KDE right from your package manager.
