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

[Crazy Volvo Guy]

So, Windows, Mac or Linux/other for you?  A combination thereof?  All three?

For me at the moment it's Linux and Windows, though Windows is less and less significant in my daily life.  I suspect one day soon it will be but a memory for me.  I have only Ubuntu on the MacBook I'm presently using.

I like to keep it simple. (And I like memes.) Ubuntu 12.04 LTS:





For those curious, Ubuntu has a launcher, similar to the Mac OS X Dock, on the left hand side.  I have mine set on auto-hide and only to appear when the cursor is moved to the top left corner.

Sorry, no pictures.

I just upgraded to Fedora 20.

How are you able to post here so often?

You can't be using someone else's. You like the forum way, way too much.
Tapatalk wasn't around the whole time.
iPads came later than this forum started, too.

[Takumi]

Sarcasm is hard.

[6a]

Linux Mint

e:

This made me go look, because I knew it was a lot, but...

117,567 songs, 689.9 GB.  No idea how many days but I'm guessing a ton

[Stratuscaster]

Windows 7 Enterprise N on the main desktop (Intel Core 2 Quad).
Apple OS X 10.9 on the MacBook Air 11".
Apple iOS 7 on the iPad "3".
Android 4.x on the HP TouchPad and the Galaxy SIII.

Been messing about with a few Linux distros to throw onto the wife's old Lenovo S10-2 netbook, since I replaced it for her. Didn't care for MeeGo or JoliOS, trying Mint 16 now.

[Crazy Volvo Guy]

I run Mint 14 XFCE on the netbook, it is a fantastic lightweight distro.

[Zeffy]

Windows 8.1 Pro with Media Center. I have had no problems with Windows 8 since release or the upgrade.



For my phone, iOS 7 on my iPhone 5c. Once again, no problems with it either.

[1995hoo]

Windows 7 on my desktop. My wife's laptop runs Vista. Her old desktop runs XP, but we hardly ever turn on that machine anymore....I should boot it up, retrieve any substantive files (I'm sure we already did that, but duplicates never hurt), and then stick it in our storage unit.

Wallpaper on my desktop is this picture I took one March when the full moon looked particularly large:

[vdeane]

Linux Mint, heavily customized:


I've set the window borders, menu rollovers, progress bars etc. to be the same color as Sailor Moon's boots and the mouseover text to be the same blue as the bottom of her skirt.  My desktop has a similar color scheme based off of Sailor Mars (Red and Purple, based on the skirt and bows in her case).  Yeah, I'm nuts.

[Duke87]

My primary laptop runs Windows 7. It's due for replacement later this year (4th birthday in October), which will mean having to bite the bullet and take on Windows 8.

I have a second laptop which I use as a backup/travel computer. It's dual boot between Windows 7 and Ubuntu. I attempted to be one of the cool nerds and play with Linux but then found that it's ten times as much of a glitchy pile of shit as Windows is and gave up. When trying to run a basic, simple program produces errors you can't figure out how to fix, and you can't find any useful help by googling it either...

Maybe I somehow got a bum install and would have a different experience on a different machine. And maybe I need to spend some time learning about how Linux works first rather than trying to operate it cold.
But regardless, I don't really have the patience to deal with a system that requires loads of unobvious and unintuitive tinkering to get each freaking program to work.

[Thing 342]

My main PC is a Lenovo y580 w/ Linux Mint 15:



I also have a pair of netbooks that run openSUSE.

For mobile stuff, I have a Nexus 5 (Android 4.4.2), a 2013 Nexus 7 (Android 4.4.2), a Nexus 4 (Android 4.3, running a custom ROM), and a 2012 Nexus 7 (Android 4.4).

The forum's main site is completely accessable on mobile devices. On my trip to Denmark/Norway/Germany (pre-tapatalk), I didn't take along a laptop, so I posted via my iPad, old phone that gets about an hour of battery life, and samsung galaxy camera.

[sammi]

Windows 8.1 Pro with Media Center (Preview at the moment; remind me to upgrade before the middle of the month) on a 10.1" (1280×800) tablet.



My desktop. Background is a picture of Toronto Rocket subway train #5391-5396 sitting in Downsview station. Can't find the original source unfortunately... "Chicagoland" is a folder containing pictures from the almost-completed Chicagoland trip. "trip.xls" is the plan for the trip, which didn't get followed in both directions. Damn police car...



Icons on my taskbar from left to right: the Start button, Windows Explorer, Google Chrome, Sublime Text 3 (I'm a developer), Chrome App Launcher (just in case), CorelDRAW, Sticky Notes, a console emulator also because I'm a developer, Skype, a calculator for when I need to convert from inches to pixels (1" ≈ 25 mm = 25 px), and Inkscape.

I'm currently working on semi-Caltransing a gantry from SLEX (E-1). Note the BC-style distance legend, the European junction symbol in place of the word "EXIT", and that the signs are to scale 80" (top) and 70" (bottom). (Overall, I think the external tab style is better.) This is only a small part of my workspace.

[Zeffy]

Here's my actual desktop (warning: no organization and cluttered):


I don't organize anything, if it appears on the desktop I generally don't care if it's there or not. My taskbar contains easy shortcuts to GIMP and PowerPoint, as well as IE, Firefox, and the Character Map.


The inner workings of my 'Signs' folder, where there are over 1200 files. The basic layout was the ROUTEMARKERS folder and the FHWArrows folder; Everything else you see was added to accommodate something new (Redesign_This! contains all my Redesign This! thread signs)

[KEVIN_224]

Sorry if the desktop picture looks a bit small. It's a street shot from Portland, Maine, taken in February of 2012. The highway overpass is I-295 above Congress Street. The large building with the half-moon roof is the Portland Exposition (Expo) Building on Park Avenue. The light towers near that are from Hadlock Field, the city's home for AA-level Eastern League baseball.

The browser I use most often is Mozilla Firefox. I think it's version 26. I'm not too sure. 

P.S. Sammi? Were you hurt in that accident at all?

P.S. Sammi? Were you hurt in that accident at all? 

Thank god no. The only problem was that the collision cost us our radiator, coolant was dripping so we couldn't drive the rest of the way to Toronto without overheating. Have to wait until the morning to get a rental car, so I'm spending the night in a hotel in Chelsea. DX

[KEVIN_224]

I thought about this picture as my desktop...then realized it's only 8 degrees F/-13 C outside. Michigan and Toronto look to be at least snow-free tonight. Not for us in Connecticut!



Thanks for the updates on your trip at least...save for that accident.

Arch Linux with Xfce right now. Have it on both my laptop and desktop (which is 300 miles away). I like KDE a lot too though, and tend to switch between them.

Here is my laptop as of right now:


(EDIT: Cleaned up my desktop folder and retook the screenshot)

[cu2010]

Android 4 on this device. Win7 on the laptop.

[SSOWorld]

Laptop - 8.1



Desktop (restored after a year being down) - 7.

Then there's the iPad - iOS7.

[Anthony_JK]

Both my laptop and my desktop run Windows 7 Home Pro, SP 1.

I used to have a dual boot Ubuntu on both of them, but gave it up because my desktop uses a Wifi adapter that Ubuntu will not pick up, and it got too cluttered on my laptop, even with both souped up with 8GB RAM on my laptop and 4 GB on my desktop (they both came originally with 4 GB and 2 GB of RAM respectively). If I can resolve the adapter issue, I may attempt a Linux Mint or Ubuntu reinstall on my desktop.

And here's my current screenshot:

[Crazy Volvo Guy]

How long ago was it that you gave up on Ubuntu?
