At long last, I have a distro I'm very pleased with. I had an idea that I wanted something with an easy installer, with a DE you operate like it's still the 90s, it should work with my UEFI system and WiFi card with little mucking about (between the two of them, this excluded half the distros I've tried), have a bunch of software available, and be non-free (I like it when codecs just work, when flash just works, I'm just not that much of an idealist). Name the distro, I've written it off for some reason.

Finally, I'm left with Korora. Think of it as Linux Mint for Fedora, with easier access to the non-free stuff and more apps installed by default. I've landed on Mate for a DE. Hopefully this will be my home for a long time to come.

i switched to Cinnamon (for testing if its stable for my needs)
so far so good... about day used, no crashes or glitches noticed.
will see if i really swich away from MATE

EDIT:

ok back on MATE desktop. Cinnamon had still issues, memleak was one. after 1 day running the mem usage kept claiming and claiming, everything became slower and slower..
another issue was Window Manager, it sometimes captured my keyaboard so that i didnt even get out of the games with workspace switching like im used under MATE.

so yeah.. still not my thing.. its just fancy looking but productivity wise its not there yet for me.

My good ol MATE desktop with compton :)

So for December I just have the same generic winter wallpaper on both screens:

I have also shed some of the game icons on my desktop, and as you can see Desurium is currently not working for me, which hopefully should not be too much of an issue if Bad Juju Games are able to deliver on some of their loftier promises.

First post over here, heya!

Not too much interesting on my programmer desktop.



Just a royal mess :D

I aplogize for using Linux Mint when I specified Debian, I mostly use Debian but I'm waiting for KDE 5 and Debian 8.

This is alright, we are hardly going to hold you to it. ;)

FYI, I have fortified my house. Don't even think about it!

So I am a little late in posting this month as I had to wait on the arrival of my new VGA to DisplayPort adapter so that I could hook up my second head to my recently acquired Sapphire Radeon HD 6870 graphics card.



Seeing as it is now the fabled year of 2015 I figured some Evangelion wallpapers would be appropriate. The opportunity to have Gendo glaring at me from my second monitor might also get me back into the habit of turning the screen on again after having gone without it for the past three weeks.

not much of a change here..except desktop is full of icons again (have to clean it up)
