@machinebacon- dude, You can even make OSX rock! Good stuff! Thanks for helping this old rock head learn some new stuff! I know you'll get the itch to grill again, so I'll be keeping my eyes open 8-)
@rhowaldt- I feel you on xorg's fickle heart where radeon is concerned. My T500 played Hell trying to install any distro that could survive that update :( The only reason I kept Space Oddity through that update was because I took a chance and installed a custom Liquorix kernel and it actually survived (no radeon driver).
I guess since Manjaro is a fork of Arch, then that is my second choice. It is actually the first distro I was able to install next to my Space Oddity after I figured out why Grub just wouldn't recognize another install from a different hard disk. It's not actually Grub's fault- just the way my BIOS scrambles USB drives after poweroff/poweron, lols.

One thing I cannot here anymore is how good ZFS is. :) Oops, wrong thread.

here you go Ivo:
win7-060616.png
as you can see it is minimal. I hate having too much shit on my desktop, which is why it is only the stuff I regularly use, and need quick access to. I prefer to have it empty but, well, guess I could clean it up more :)

Launching apps is done either from the Quicklaunch menu (which only has Chrome), or the apps pinned to Start Menu, so each app I need is basically 2 clicks away.

wallpapers rotate, just picked one for you guys but have a whole bunch more to be surprised by once i minimize my open windows (nearly all work is done fullscreen). The clock shows the date + Dutch time on hover.

When I'm not breaking things in Linux, I will be on what I call my gaming OS (Win 10).

I don't like too many distractions on my OS's, so the desktop is clean.

I would go (back I suppose) to Mac because of the hardware (and having a 'proper', if BSD style, shell is great)
I won't because I'm not rich :)

^I see it now, lols. Doh! But that dock at the bottom looked so much like the ele dock, it threw me off. Good work! That is clean!

^ I think it's the other way around. Elementary looks too much like a Mac.

Anyway that's El Capitan, i usually hide the menu bar and the dock, turn off transparency stuff, disable iTerm2-nightly (drop-in replacement for terminal.app) cocoa frame, and i'm using https://www.spectacleapp.com/ which is basically wmutils for Aqua, to make it less distracting.

That windows machine is a cheap NUC knockoff http://www.forsa.co.id/products.php?ID= ... ion=detail which i acquire for $43, about the same price as RPi 2 here.

^Couldn't find one on Amazon :(
They look pretty neat (Forsa)
That would be a half-price W/OS over here. The Home edition runs $115 or so at WalMart
