For some reasons I thought Juju would go with a MLP background

u/DarkestEx October 15, 2016, 11:25:45 PM

Completely reinstalled my Notebook.
Now there's Fedora (main OS) and Windows 7 (for Office, SolidWorks, Premiere, etc.)

Here's the Windows 7, that took all day long to install (due to UEFI and driver problems):

Used to, but eh, this time it's Miku.

I know your feels.

Updated the wallpaper. I had it for too long and need some change XD (for a few months on Linux).

The sun in the left half would look weird I think.

I used Fedora before. And before I used Windows 10. I am now going to dualboot my Notebook with Elementary OS and Windows 7

Good ol' laptop from 2005 (on which I added 2GB RAM) dualbooting good ol' XP and modern Arch Linux. Sway's still the best WM out there. Still have some issues with the wifi (it worked correctly in Knoppix!), but otherwise it works.

Wallpaper related. Yeah, it's real cold here in Canada.

I'm still happy with i3, sway lacks some features that make it unusable for me like mouse grabbing (how am I supposed to play games like that ;_;). Plus it's made by the man.

Nice desktop juju, but I assume that the transparent windows must make it hard to read text located on Miku's skin

u/Yuki December 17, 2016, 09:17:31 PM

Not that bad. Key is setting up urxvt's background opacity just right.

Also fixed the wifi, somehow NetworkManager choked on the device's MAC address so I just gave it the ID (wlan0 or whatever it is) instead. And for those who use sway or i3, conky works real well with the bar, just set out_to_console=true, out_to_x=false in conky and pango_markup enabled in sway to use <span> and change text colors.

Overall, I don't really intend to game on that laptop, I'd just go in XP instead for that, but sway works real well for what I want to do and the specs it's running on.

I got a little tired of Mr. Dog so I searched "wallpapers" and found this one:

Lol I hope it's not too hard for you to access your programs and files

u/kotu December 18, 2016, 04:57:31 AM

Well I have desktop icons turned off at the moment but when they are turned on there is rarely more than 5 or 6 icons on screen

u/Dream of Omnimaga December 18, 2016, 04:59:46 AM

Ah ok. I remember when I used XP and stuck with the default wallpaper for like the entire time I had that computer except a brief period of time around 2007-08 when I started making music again. It turned out that having a different wallpaper caused epsxe emulator to lag more
