disturbed Posted May 19, 2007 CID Share Posted May 19, 2007 well...its hard not being judgmental, but there is a still number of people out there who think using linux still implies text-only environment, so I just wanted to show off few interesting screenshots of my desktop Screenshot1 - just desktop Screenshot2 - larger icon space on top Screenshot3 - 3d desktop split between 2 sides Screenshot4 - 3d desktop split between 3 sides Screenshot5 - browser window across 2 sides Screenshot6 - opensuse Screenshot7 - desktop selection Screenshot8 - 3d desktop (browser + really cool 3d like matrix screensaver) hope this tickles your curiosity Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peepnklown Posted May 19, 2007 CID Share Posted May 19, 2007 I should be getting my new laptop by the end of the year dual booting Windows XP and Vista and I am thinking about dual booting Windows XP and Linux (probably SUSE) on the older laptop.

disturbed Posted May 21, 2007 Author CID Share Posted May 21, 2007 Yeah, I agree......on top of that there are some things, such as gaming, that people still stick to doing on windows - although the support for gaming on linux is slowly getting there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
