It's a bit funny to see you're still on Debian 9 but use a 6.3 kernel though!
And damn, that number of packages ahah!

Around the time the distro was released, I was trying my hand at compiling from source. It quickly became a habit to compile and create my own packages instead of upgrading to a newer Debian version.

It was a fun (and sometimes also frustrating) learning experience, but it's time for a fresh start.

What is the green meant to represent this month?????

...recently switched back to Debian following the OpenSUSE Community announcement about Leap's uncertain future, yet still rocking the Plasma desktop, so not much has changed (visually)

Here's my latest, featuring official artwork from the excellent Tanglewood. This is one of the backgrounds available if you choose to display a border around the game in the native Linux version.

Absolutely love the Studio Ghibli background here - very smart-looking!

Thank you, though the credit rightfully goes to the very talented artist who made it

Ooh, fantastic - many thanks for the link!

Key-art from Biomutant. I'm waiting to pick this game up in the next big Steam sale.

Looks like a furry version of Cloud from Final Fantasy VII with that sword.......

Almost too late but here is July:

Playing around a bit with LxQt on Nobara 38...it's working really great so far.

Saying the guy with the Arch logo, and with Fedora in his PC info.
Maybe you're using Nobara in Fedora in Arch!

There is no option for Nobara in the list of distros, and so the closest thing is Fedora, since it's based on that.
As for the logo, I was using Arch at the time of uploading it.
And it's still one of my favorites. Nothing wrong in trying new stuff.

But regardless of what distors I use and what logos I have as my avatar, what's it to you ? Why do you feel the need to take a piss ?
Have I offended you in any way ?

I thought Cyril's comment was just poking gentle fun. Can't speak for them, of course, but I'd be disappointed if Cyril were truly taking the piss.

I mean, you gotta admit, it is pretty funny to have one distro listed in your profile, use another distro's icon as your avatar, then post that you're loving a third distro in the screenshot thread!!

Edit to add - absolutely beautiful desktop, btw.

Of course I was just joking! Damn even with the emojis, it wasn't obvious?
More serious than this guy I think you die lol.

I use a rather boring, plain jane window manager, icewm. I liked it back in 1999/2000 when I was playing with different ones and I used it for some time. So it was a blast from the past, when I heard there was a new release, version 3.x.

The reason I like it for my gaming setup is because it has fine grained focus settings and behaviour that makes focus problems in games a thing of the past.

Boring UI, but note the quaint Netscape icon in my quick launch area. I was going through their icons and they still had the same ones from decades ago! I couldn't resist using the N for my Firefox browser :-)

Anyway, I'm more showing my awesome Geralt screenshot (Witcher 3). I was finishing up a mission when I noticed the lighting and shadow. I spun my view around to show my character and took a shot. It was early in game, so that was still the default armour etc. Unfortunately, on close look, there are some transitions because of foliage blowing in the wind but it's a minor defect.

This is just the original Witcher 3 ("Classic" now) and it's still like having a million beautiful paintings with every footstep. I really love traversal in this game and I do most of it on foot.

Clear Linux and i3wm has by far the best performance of any Linux distro on AMD and Intel graphics.

The distro needs to be added to choose from your hardware info.

Over the last 24 hours, I've switched my fleet over to Mint Xfce! Here's how it's looking on my workhorse right now. The current background is Steam Trading Card art from Horizon Chase Turbo.
