The Official Linux/Unix Desktop Screenshots Megathread

Subbed to find out about Linux some more :)

Subbed to find out about Linux some more :)
 
Just picked up a 120GB SSD from MicroCenter to throw a copy of Mint 19 on, man I'm loving how much it has evolved over the past 5 years.

I've loaded up Steam, Wine/PoL, & Lutris, so I'm trying to get Ring of Elysium to play via Linux. If I can get it to work along with some other titles I'll be moving to this distro full time. Also need to see if I can get my Adobe suite to work as well.

I was very surprised when I saw OpenSUSE dropping off the charts on DistroWatch a few months back. It's a very well thought out distro. A "little" technical on the install...but very thorough. I absolutely love it. Also. I think it goes without saying, but... it is extremely stable. At least that's been my experience.

I'm only using Ubuntu now because 18.10 is playing nice with my chip. Almost all distros(besides those based on Arch) were not. When I feel everything is stable, I'll probably be going back to OpenSUSE with KDE. While I like Gnome "enough"...I don't like it that much. I actually prefer MATE over Gnome...or even Unity over Gnome...or to be honest, even XFCE over Gnome.

For anyone looking for a nice "easy on the resources" distro(XFCE)...I've had pretty good luck with MX Linux. It's definitely worth a look.

:),

Liquid Cool
 
Might as well show the new spin on debian/ubuntu distros. This is kubuntu 18.10, just released. I have it in a vm for now:

I'm thinking that I might update my Crunchers and get a newer version of Mint installed and see if they behave... I like the new look, is it a particular theme that you're using there @remixedcat ? :)
 
Mint y dark pink.. And the fonts were added by type catcher.
 
New Ubuntu on the block! Kernel 5.0 beta. Ubuntu/Kubuntu 19.04

Oh and for those who want to test 19.04 beta, at least the kubuntu version I know, open-vm-tools is auto installed for vmware users. It's very handy.

It's a new feature of Windows.. the subsystem for linux, that allows you to run Linux in it's own app/space in a fairly transparent way. Mostly useful for developers. You could run Xserver if you want.

Here's someone running a full ubuntu unity install:

Dreaming here; I wish there was native windows support on Linux without wine or some other emulation.
I don't know if that would ever be possible without some kind of performance hit...

I'm not sure if it would be possible. It's often an "emulation". What could be possible is to have a "Parallel Desktop" like on MacOS where Windows is installed on the system and it only calls the function / Apps needed on Windows from the Linux Desktop.

I mean, wine is about as close to that as you can get. It isn't really full emulation in the conventional sense. Hint: WINE was originally a recursive acronym for Wine Is Not an Emulator. ;)

Here comes Kubuntu Eaon, the beta is already quite stable:

I'm using it as a main os already, it's ready for prime time. If you are unsure, I recommend using a 2nd drive, and installing it to that.
I have 4 os installs including windows, it's always good to be prepared.
The Eaon install is great, recommended. But again do it as a 2nd or 3rd install if you can. It is still beta.

hm, my WS is off so I cant remote in right now, but its been awhile since I posted in here. I'll try to remember tomorrow. I'll warn you ahead of time. It isnt as slick as some of these at all. I'm an ultra minimalist when it comes to my desktop though. So prepare for boring.
