What are you actually running for daily/primary usage?

[pidsley]

What is the world coming to? I like Xfce now, and everyone else loves LXDE. Good thing I still like LXDE too. :)

[machinebacon]

Pidsley, what you probably mean is that you don't hate XFCE anymore as much as before :D

If just xfwm4 had some nicer window decorations.... haven't tried adapting Numix yet, or some other flat/squarey theme. Not a fan of rounded borders atm :)

[swftech]

Haha, @pidsley I use to be strictly Xfce but would always see crazy ivan rambling how KDE wasn't so bloated and slow anymore and posting his awesome screens of a lightweight looking KDE while I was loving Kielbasa then Proof, so I tried it and he was right, so for a while I liked KDE again and he went to Xfce :) Then I got bored with KDE and came back to Xfce and now everybody likes LXDE. You now are going through the same shit. Either were ahead of the game or behind, I haven't quite figured that out yet. I'm gonna stick with Xfce since I like it so much and everybody will come around again, or they wont and I'll be left all alone...waiting...wondering...smoking my bowl. :P

[apprentice]

It's all your fault bacon -- I never liked Xfce at all until I saw it on Proof. That's one of your sweeter spins, IMO.

[machinebacon]

And the only one that still uses sysvinit...

Maybe there's a link? :)

Numix does it and Flat too I think. Nice thing about Openbox, never rounded shit. Some of the Shimmer themes also provide squared themes.

[machinebacon]

Oh right, Numix does it, I remember I even set it as default for the XFCE Base. Thanks for the reminder.

Flat girl in the ring - nananana-na!
She looks like a sugar in a plum, plum plum.

i think i'm running this on my laptop (not @ home atm) - seems to be behaving itself. Being bland and grey, i like everything bland and grey (i get rid of the blue obviously, and make it some shade of grey).

I only run boxlike themes on xfce and openbox/lxde. How can you do anything other than that since the menus are non-rounded?

[Titan]

Right now i use a 2 year old netbook for almost everything. It has an Intel Atom N550, 2GB drr3 ram and 250GB apple hard drive.
It runs arch as the main OS, but i have multiple VM's in Vbox including gentoo and many BBQ releases.

My 9 year old pc has an Intel Core2Duo 2.2GHz cpu, 6GB ram and dual boots win 7 and arch, although as i rarely use the pc for much except games on windows and a HD films i am tempted to put gentoo or maybe dominator on it.

[gutterslob]

Home desktop runs OpenBSD-Current, cos I'm a bit of a clean freak. Employs SpectrWM for window management most of the time, though I have CWM and Fluxbox installed as well.

OS X on the work comp (Mac Pro), since I need Corel Painter, Illustrator, Lightroom and PhaseOne Camera Raw for work. Also has Parallels installed for VM sessions, mainly OpenBSD and Debian (BBQ Boner).

Netbook currently runs ArchLinux. WM of choice is Spectr/BallsackWM. Haven't had much time to do any WM-hopping lately.

Goes without saying that all systems have Tmux installed. It's the main constant between all the operating systems/environments I run.

Sooo, do you use tmux in OSX, too?

[gutterslob]

Yes. You can get it via Homebrew or MacPorts.

[ivanovnegro]

^ You run also spectrwm on Mac. :D

Not anymore, sadly. The latest snapshot and git version install fine on Mountain Lion (provided I have the relevant deps installed prior), but I'd rather fire up Parallels VM and start a Linux or OpenBSD session. I actually keep one VM session running full time (unless I'm batch processing a lot of images and need to free up all the ram), since I prefer browsing on Xombrero or FF.

A lot of people will say that VMs are for wimps, but you can't argue with the convenience of being to switch operating systems on the fly, plus there's the added safety of sandboxing a 'risque' session. For example, aside from the OpenBSD and BBQ sessions installed, I also have one session with a Arch setup that's completely closed off (meaning no shared folders) which I use exclusively for porn, darknet, flash, java, nginx (chrooted obviously) and other insecure stuff, as well as trying out potentially dangerous configs and packages from the cesspool that is the AUR.

That sounds like a great setup for that, for sure.

After my recent, and futile, attempts to wring some value out of a hand-rolled Debian KDE monstrosity, and I am now (mostly) back in the more comfortable land of 'coal' powered BBQ :)

...... 'mostly' cos I am playing with an ElementaryOS install as well - nicest Ubuntu based distro I have seen - based on 12.04, so hardly cutting edge, but the Pantheon desktop is fast, and nice eye candy too.

[GekkoP]

I'm on CrunchBang Waldorf with i3 at the moment. This is my primary usage, cause it is a Dell Inspiron 1525 I bring with me in our school so it's both a home and work machine. I went with stable because I thought I needed a solid and safe system.

As I was saying in the Elektra release topic though, I'm becoming tired of Debian stable: i3 4.2 instead of 4.6 being the main reason. Sid on my HP Pavillion is working fine, fast and doing exactly what I need on that PC. No issues whatsover so far. So, yeah, CrunchBang kick started me in the realm of Linux tinkering and urxvt, but now it's time to move on I suppose.

[dkeg]

that's pretty much the same path as myself. Yes, move on. Could always create new partition and keep cb around, but I'll tell you, you'll never use it, except to mount and cp files.

[GekkoP]

It's been a while since I had different systems on one PC. I was always booting in one of them so I decided to keep the space free for something else. Of course, Mr. Bacon will tell me to go with crazy partitioning and stuff like that, but I'm too noob for going that way. I'll move on to some BBQ release soon.
