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.

that bothers me as well. i believe the AP guide standardized the use of a comma before ,and
 
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.
 
I was to lazy to check, lol, and the three WMs I mentioned are very similar AFAIK.
 
Yeah, it's Openbox.

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

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.
