Topic: Desktops 2013

Happy New Year! Here's the third round of "World 1: Cold Frontier" again. I've also posted the 2012 and 2011 versions of the same map so you can notice the evolutions that have taken place over the past 3 years.

This thread has been stickied (and the 2012 thread un-stickied).

Put this vivid little guy on my work desktop this morning...  yes, the temp here today really is what it says there.

Original in the size of your choice can be found ... here.

I had a lizard for years... not that kind though.

I usually hate wallpapers that leave real estate on the sides of the screen, but this photo of a snow leopard was just too much win to keep off of my desktop.

My fresh install of Linux Mint 14 Nadia with the "MATE" desktop environment. Clean and snappy on my laptop Now to get Descent and Descent 2 up and running... 

INSERT: And just for grins, an extra screenshot of what the OS looks like with windows open.

My current desktop...

Ok, I have to type something here... hmmm oh I know:

From Astronomy Picture of the Day Archive.

Something Redwall-y today...especially seeing the author passed away two years ago today.

Ironically, this happens to be the thirteenth desktop I've used for this laptop, which I thought was a funny coincidence, given the year.

[Kaiaatzl]

Redwall!  I remember that.  I wonder if I still have the books somewhere...
And you changed your avatar back to what's his name the feline booze runner.  Come to think of it, I haven't looked at Lackadaisy for at least two years...

My desktop is still the jaguar of odd cuteness (or cute oddness?)

[Scyphi]

Yeah, I swapped back to Rocky without much fanfare or the such. No special reason why, other than I guess I decided I wanted it back.

My recent experimentation with LXLE Lubuntu 12.04 ...
(a variant of Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, LXLE link)

[Kaiaatzl]

Finally changed it from that jaguar.  No matter how cute jaguars are, too long is too long.

This is a picture from Calgary, taken by a cousin of mine while she was visiting there.  She showed it to me today and... well, the picture will speak for itself, otherwise this post will get very wordy!  There's another one which would make a really nice desktop as well...

And yes, that sentence before the last one was a pun.

I've never been to Calgary (one of my brothers was there for a while, and my parents were married in Alberta ...) but I'm told it's beautiful.

Anyway ...
Here's  my Desktop for my latest Linux favorite Fuduntu which is a Fedora derivative polished to fit somewhere between Fedora and Ubuntu.  I've really been impressed with it.   I've pretty much ruled out using LXLE Lubuntu due to some limitations and "quirks" that showed up.

The image I used is pretty cool, so I've posted the original image as well.

I've been to Edmonton several times but not Calgary.
Edmonton is really beautiful too though.
