the empty calorie 0 Report post Posted August 19, 2005 (edited) Well, I am a bit curious as to how everyone has their graphical interface setup in *NIX OS'es. Please, no screenshots of Windows, but Mac OS X is okay, as it is a *NIX OS. But what Window Manager/Desktop Environment, maybe programs you normally use, and whatever showing in a screenshot you wish to post. Maybe add on a little mini-story about your computer, what it's used for, and what hardware it runs on.I'd just like to see the many faces of other *NIX screens, as we have many, and those users of Windows are basically stuck with one interface.I'll post my screenshot later tonight. Have fun! Edited August 19, 2005 by microscopic^earthling (see edit history) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jeigh1405241495 0 Report post Posted August 19, 2005 I cant post a screenshot now cause I'm not at home so I have no screen to post... BUT I'm running a handful of window managers at home and just switch between them at random to keep it fresh. I like Kde/Gnome/Fluxbox/something ICE or somesuch...maybe? the name is currently not in my head apparently lol.But yea I dont have anything too fancy, but once I start up school in a few weeks again and use linux more often I have plans to pimp it out hahaPimp my linux w00 haha Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
yordan 10 Report post Posted August 19, 2005 I'm using the standard desktop, CDE. I only use the desktop for starting something on my PC.And, of course, all my old MS-DOS games don't play on my new XXdows computers, so I have to boot on a floppy disk.

xboxrulz1405241485 0 Report post Posted August 30, 2005 I use KDE. Man, you use old stuff, no one really uses CDE anymore, MOTIF sucks anyways, IMO.xboxrulz Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
the empty calorie 0 Report post Posted August 30, 2005 I personally think KDE sucks, and I would personally rather use CDE any day over KDE. *NIX is old, and old doesn't necessarily mean outdated. It can also mean tried-and-true performance, as is the case with UNIX and *NIXes out there. I could slam you for using KDE, being as it's basically what makes *NIX make more like a Windows-wannabe, not to mention Tk's inferiority in performance compared to GTK+... But you do your thing, I do mine, let the CDE user do his too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

abhiram 0 Report post Posted September 3, 2005 Guess after 8 posts, I'm the first one to actually post a screenshot . Â Here: Â I'm using Fluxbox with Aterm which can be seen in the background. It's been made transparent so the desktop is visible through it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

xboxrulz1405241485 0 Report post Posted September 7, 2005 Well, sorry empty calorie, but I didn't want to waste space on my desktop so I shrunk it so it looks like Windows XP.xboxrulz Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
the empty calorie 0 Report post Posted September 8, 2005 Oh that's fine, you just said your desktop looks nothing like Windows, but it does a bit, so yeah. Don't stress it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
