LinuxBBQ

^ They seem to have a thing for chickens, so when in Rome (Ha! Italian distro, too!)... Yes, I love that wallpaper, too. I have to say, it's one of the fastest default Xfce distros I've ever used, and curiously, I seem to get better battery life with it. Usually I get 1:30 or so on the T61; with Sabayon, 2:00+. Don't know why. Seems pretty stable, too, no crashes or anything weird so far.

@Pidsley: A beauty.

Ha! I loved Sabayon when I used it! (I did the KDE version though. Shame on me.) dasgregor on YouTube reviewed it a while back and it really looked nice so I gave it a whirl. The package manager, equo, never gave me any grief but I didn't try portage as I wasn't familiar enough with Gentoo to know that it was the thing to do.

Edit: Jeez, I didn't see your scrot, pidsley. Very nice to see some of the old BBQ spins still up and kicking!

Edit 2: Jeez x 2, I didn't notice Gekko's scrot either. Very nice! Like bones said, it nothing in Gnome or KDE can shake a stick at XFCE.

@bones: is it me, or does that wallpaper cry out for some monochrome filter or something? i almost wanna see it in black, white and red, Sin City style ;)

@rhow: hell yeah, that would be awesome! Wanna try your hand at it?

@Dr: I agree, so far I like equo quite a bit. Also haven't tried to emerge from source yet.

here's my attempt. since i dont know Photoshop, most of this was done with simple image filters (contract, posterize, etc) and handwork. in Aura2, a program nobody ever heard of. on Windows 7 because it wont work properly in Wine. so there. i kinda like the outcome :)

^ Really nice Rwo, they look bloody sinister :) A poster for "Reservoir Chickens" :D

^^ Aura2? Googling does me no good, as I only come up with a vidya-game. Tell me what this magic you speak of is...

^^^ Awesome, well done! :D

Sexy blood chickens. nice work Rhow!
Fits well with a numixed theme :)

@Dr: http://digitalcontentproducer.com/mag/v ... index.html - it's a pixelpaint & animation program. a friend of mine does animation and when i was young and impressionable he used his charms to get me into animation as well, so i learned the program and now it is simply what i know best. it is limited, yet cool :)

thanks for the compliments guys :)

rhosey, i love it! :)

This is Quacksalver, an ISO from 2013 or so, dist-upgraded after over a year. LightDM, systemd, gtk3, full bloat.

It is recommended to:
make a dist-upgrade outside of X
remove apt-listbugs prior to the dist-upgrade
stop LightDM and remove it
switch to startx as login method
pull systemd and udevd from experimental

^ Cool procedure.

There are a few hickups when you upgrade udev and systemd, it will need a cold boot once because it cannot overwrite a running session. A trick would be to boot without the init=/bin/systemd entry -- forgot to add this above.
apt-listbugs was buggy last year (exit code 10) so it is safer to purge it and reinstall later if wished. Everything else was easy.

more xubuntu, on scavenged mac mini.
Numixed from the base install.
the "House computer".

Little changed from last time, but I was excited when I saw kernel 4.0.0 pulled in, so a scrot felt like the right thing to do.

^ beautiful desktop there!

^ thanks. I stole the wallpaper from here, can't remember who shared it but I love it. Otherwise, same old XFCE with same old applications. :)

Edit: found it, Eren shared it.

The fonts, is this Cantarell or Droid or something like this? Icons seem like Faenza :)
