Honestly I don't see the point in having a desktop/wallpaper.
Terminal/filemanager already handle files; If I want to look at a pretty picture I just open 1. Never liked wasting space on bars, why I left windows in the first place.
>>518 I only use a window manager with a lain desktop background, so there's not much to see. All my windows are set to fullscreen.
DEs are severely overrated. Once you switch to a plain WM, the desktop environment will look like the equivalent of internet explorer 8 with 6 gorillion toolbars on it.
>>742 current dynamic
it's supposed to top out with the maximum dynamic frequency at 1.9 GHz
The CPU is great, I might need to add a little bit more Ram for a comfort zone.
>>741 Cluttered mess, you don't need more ram, you need a more minimalist distro. MX Linux is designed for high end computers and is supposed to be a "just werks" ubuntu tier distro for normalniggers. Also your themeing is all kinds of fucked, but that's more of a problem with how cancerous thememing in general in Linux is compared to windows. While Linux "ricing" might not have a ceiling like windows does, at least on windows you can easily customize basic colours of the window dressing at will unlike 99% of "modern" distros.
>>1051 not him, but if you have a shit ton of ram you can do all sorts of k00l shit like loading all your binaries and libraries into tmpfs for lightning fast program startup.
>>1053 I restart services whenever they get updated. The kernel doesn't get updated because I'm too lazy to set up kexec() and whatever -- new versions of loonux are pozzed anyway.
>>1054 Damn, you could at least stick to 4.14 LTS (although it lacks most S&M mitigations).
Considering CoC I see no reason to jump the ship until they start replacing core devs with quota hires.
Spent the day working on getting my Inspiron 5100 setup going. First time trying i3 and got most of everything working how I like it. Just need to figure out how to show available ram with i3status. Unfortunately the tor file uploader is completely broken so I have to jump on a separate machine just to upload this.
>>1051 Not really concerned with how it looks. I change it all the time anyway.
It is my main computer - I mean, I have other computers too. I'm just not using my stupid windows box anymore. what for? I can do everything here.
Here is my kitchen computer

This guy's probably even the eris spammer
>>2153 We need a v2 HS ban next. People who don't even bother to use the v3 service (and TLS, and checking the TLS fingerprint) are almost as cancerous as cucknet gateway users.
