Re: What does your non-Debian desktop look like?
The OP invited them :

Anyway, a brief explanation, I really don't have any use for windows, but my nephew needs to use it in school. His laptop was "broken", mostly because he lost the password and could not login, so any way I showed him, using my system as a example, and offered to install OpenBsd, with a Windows XP VM, that he could use for his school work. After I experimented with it , and wrote some scripts to help him with transferring files to and from the guest, (windows XP), he liked it, and we went ahead and installed OpenBsd, with QEMU , and the windows VM.
I do not know how to "hack" a ms windows system, if and when the passwords are lost, and have no interest in learning how to. With the OpenBsd system, if he happens to lose his password, in the future, I will be able to help him reset a new one, of course, if he loses the windows password again, he still will be out of luck on that,...but I did set up the "admin" account, and it is a easy password, that I will not forget, so probably if he loses his windows password I will be able to fix it.
But I broke the rules , used thumb-nails.stoffepojken wrote:Post your XP screenshots. In this thread we have two rules. Not Debian and not thumbnails. We want non-free fullscreen stuff.62chevy wrote:That would be one of five in a VM. I always hear people ranting and raving about this thing and that thing so I try them and then never use them.
XP is the one I use most often when I cant get something to work in Linux or wine. Other than iTunes I've found something better in Debian or it just plain works in wine.

Re: What does your non-Debian desktop look like?
I just Love Minix3, and 'su' even works as expected on a Unix like system.
Only using 131 mb memory
Neofetch also works on Minix3.4
Connected to the server with Lynx browser, note a 3 mb increase in memory usage,...

Re: What does your non-Debian desktop look like?
My fvwm setup. Using tint2 and fittstool rather than the fvwm modules to keep the bloat down. fvwm is imo the most flexible wm. It can do just about anything but is brain-blowing crazy to get your head around even with some of the most comprehensive docs going. You could probably spend this life and the next tweeking it in search of perfection.

Re: What does your non-Debian desktop look like?
That is nice, I like FVWM myself, if I do use a WM on Minix 3, that is what I use.
Here, below, is the server (Minix 3) , connected to it with Iridium browser, the server is on a QEMU VM, the host is OpenBsd, and sometimes get confused as to where I am.
Any way, I am here,...
In the top Xterm, I am logged into the server via ssh, not using any WM, the Xterm window at the bottom, is the OpenBsd host terminal,... and the WM on the OpenBsd host is OpenBox.

Re: What does your non-Debian desktop look like?
Decided to try the new release of Mint's "Debian Edition" (in QEMU ofc, I'm not a masochist):
Can anybody spot a potential problem with Mint's choice of sources?

Yeah, don't try installing VLC in that one.

I can only presume it's for the codecs or something but that's gonna bite them at some point, I'm sure.

Re: What does your non-Debian desktop look like?
For something different ... image of a desktop structure rather than a image of the actual desktop wallpaper/icons/etc.
Data separated from desktop, where the data server hunts you out and mounts one of its folders as a local (desktop) mount point using reverse sshfs (there's a nice alternative description here). If the device supports sshd and ddns (dynamic dns that associates a fixed domain name to a dynamic IP (IP allocated wherever your desktop system connects)), then shortly after booting the desktop up pops a local folder (mount point) for whatever data your data server presents (relevant folder on the data server). Portable too - whatever device you use as a desktop, provided it supports ddns and sshd, then the data server will serve up the data folder to that.
For the data server, I just have a entry in /etc/rc.local to invoke the script ... where that script has a while loop that looks for your desktop every minute or so, and when found runs rsshfs and stays in that until the connection is lost, when it rolls back around the while loop again.

Re: What does your non-Debian desktop look like?
Back to Alpine Linux:
They've de-blobbed the kernel for the 3.8 release and split the firmware out into packages (just like Debian) but they are incredibly fine-grained — I only have to install the firmware for my exact type of wireless card:
Neat!

It's quite ridiculous really because the Alpine system takes up less than 1GiB for the full graphical desktop but the Steam flatpak & runtime adds another 2.2GiB in shared libraries alone

Anyway, back on topic with Haiku, this is the latest nightly snapshot running under QEMU/KVM:
It's very responsive, even just running the VESA driver (I didn't bother setting up spice), so it should run well on low-end hardware.
The long-awaited Beta release should be out soon

Re: What does your non-Debian desktop look like?
The configuration is such that the user can choose any foreground and background colour the hex palette has to offer (e.g., #000000 to #FFFFFF); the background, font, icons, and all images/video (via a gamma adjustment so not viewable in pic) will all change to that color. As can be seen, the icons in the falkon browser have changed to yellow (#FFFF00), but they can be any color instantly with one press of a button.
