Title: Show Us Your GNU/Linux Desktop
Post by: V.T. Eric Layton on November 29, 2021, 11:57:21 PM
This is a thread that we've had a lot of fun with over the years at Scot's Newsletter Forums. It's the place where you can post screenshots of your desktop setup. It's like looking at someone's actual desk/work area. It tells you something about people by the way the set things up. ;)

This screenshot here is the very first one I posted at Scot's in 2007...

And this one is the one I have on my system at the moment. You'll notice that there hasn't been much change in my setup for the last 14 years or so. ;)

Have fun with it, folks!

HAHA! Gooder! This place really needs some "thumbs up" or "Like" avatars. 👍 Oooh, I think that works!

You can find icons like the 👍 above by going here --> https://copychar.cc/popular/

So what does mine say about me?? I love terminal apps and don't care for aesthetics?
