It looks like a computer version of falling black silk to me. It conveys a lot of dynamic.

Really nice, one of the best I've seen for a while here. Great colour coordination. spectrwm looks very cool.

Just amazing, looks like something out of Portal 2. I don't understand it at all, but it looks great.

This is a Debian Testing XFCE desktop which I adapted on someone's demand to look as much as possible like a Ubuntu 17.04 with Unity desktop. The one who asked me was used to Unity, but he wanted a rolling release and wasn't too thrilled about the notion that Canonical is planning to drop Unity in favor of Gnome3.

^ but Debian testing isn't rolling, or is it ?

Sorry comment off topic.

Taken from another site:

Really if a good rolling release is your goal you probably are better off with another distro. The biggest reason to use testing should be because you actually want to help test it for the next Debian release.

Yes, it is. There's a freeze when the new Stable is being prepared, but after that it migrates seamlessly to the new Testing.
You only need to make sure that the name 'Buster' in sources.list is replaced by "testing" everywhere.

Although you could the same for Stable (replacing 'stretch' by 'stable' in sources.list), I wouldn't recommend that because the upgrade to a new stable would have to jump about two years ahead and that won't be seamlessly, to say the least.

You do know that Ubuntu is based on Debian Testing, don't you?

Testing is fine for desktop systems. Stable can be as well, but if you'd like more recent versions of software you could try Testing. I wouldn't use Sid (Unstable) unless you know your way around a root terminal.
I have used Debian Testing for several of my desktop systems for quite a few years now and haven't encountered any problems. The last year, I even started using Sid for my desktop.

If you need to install a server, stick to Debian Stable.

Do you grml?
