What OS do you use? / Screenshots (a spin-off of the XP thread)

[Roadsguy]

I run Windows 7 on an HP Pavilion dv6, with lots of third-party stuff to make it look more like XP. "Misc Stuff" makes up for the lack of clutter on the desktop.



I plan on eventually building a computer and running 8.1 (possibly dual-booted with Linux), but that won't happen for a while.

This thread catches me just after my main computer's HDD crashed.

From Dec. 31 up to tonight, I was running Ubuntu off of a 4 Gb USB key -- using Linux for the first time as my primary OS since many years ago. This was my first serious encounter with Unity. I now loathe it. Gimme back my Gnome. (I used to be a KDE junkie back in the day)

I'm now back on a clean and still pretty stock Windows 7 install. I'm running the updates as we speak.

In the meantime, enjoy this old screenshot from May 2008.

You are using Ubuntu 10.04 LTS
                - the Lucid Lynx - released in April 2010 and supported until April 2013.

Ooh, à la Windows Phone. I like it.

And you're a redditor too.

What program did you use? (Not that I'm getting it because I already have Windows 8.)

You can't be using someone else's. You like the forum way, way too much.

I use my work laptop.

I've posted from my mobile phone maybe 4 times, mostly to make sure Scott5114 wasn't wiped out by a tornado that one time. 

I don't own a computer.

You're like the 2014 version of those "I don't even own a TV" hipsters.

Here's what my desktop look like:

Primarily OS X 10.7.5, also Windows 7 via Parallels 7 (which will need to be upgraded to Parallels 9 once I update to "Mavericks").

Figured I'd post an update. Still running Windows 7 x64 on the same laptop, but with a recent clean install. The XP theme broke and I never bothered to fix it, so I'm using the default now. I'm still using Classic Shell with a Vista start button graphic, though. Here's the desktop, with some random stuff "temporarily" stuck there in addition to my normal folders:


Redstone Way, get it?

Since my first post, though, there have been some hardware issues. The left hinge broke, which actually pried that corner of the case apart, bent the heatsink a bit, and made the fan make weird noises and eventually break. Now, with a new fan, I'm running the laptop base with the monitor removed, with an external monitor hooked up via an HDMI-to-DVI cable. I've had no problem since.

After I thoroughly messed up my system last night, I reinstalled Linux and restored stuff from backup. As a result, the IRC server was down for 3 hours, and the rest of the system for another 7 hours.

Not much has changed, but overall I like it better:

I use Windows 7 x64 Professional.

I bought my computer a few years ago now, but it has held up pretty well.  I also have a Windows 7 laptop which I take when I am on the road.
