What does your non-Debian desktop look like?
Re: What does your non-Debian desktop look like?
Saw this wallpaper in another desktop snap, liked it, so adopted it for myself (OpenBSD cwm, iridium web browser)
Mostly use the browser as the launcher
Use if for playing videos/music, viewing PDF's, file browser, calculator (html/javascript), online email, googledocs for office, online image editor. I also have a time html/javascript that I use to show the current date/time in one of the tab titles. 2 pixel gap at the top of the screen so I can pull down the cwm windows/groups/applications menus.
For personal/private docs/data I store them under root and use the console - running tmux and mc (along with calcurse). Looks very similar to the same colour theme as this X snapshot (can't take a direct snapshot of my console).
Generally prefer having each window maximised and toggle between them than having panes and zooming in/out.
I use ddnsfree for a static domain name that points to my (included in base system, along with X ...etc.) httpd server (dynamic IP). Such that my entire desktop is pretty lean, base + handful of other programs.
acer$ pkg_info -mz
calcurse--
ddclient--
feh--
iridium--
mc--
Less than 100 additional progs/libs on top of base OpenBSD. I use openup to keep the base and pre-built binaries that I have installed updated (similar to apt-get update).

how does this post lead you to using a particular chromium clone?ruffwoof wrote:Seeing this observation by Theo de Raadt, I've been persisting with Iridium and its starting to become all second nature for me now, and I like it, a lot.
https://marc.info/?l=openbsd-misc&m=152872551609819&w=2
the post only compares chrome (not -ium!) to firefox. i personally find deRaadt's reply a bit rash; the casual reader could get to the conclusion that he is recommending chrome.
PS: additionally, i don't see what's the sense in being so careful about security and privacy in one's browser, only to then blow it all in the wind by using google's and other cloud services...

Re: What does your non-Debian desktop look like?
Casual email, docs ...etc. things I have little concern about privacy/being seen by others. For my secure docs/data they're stored under root and within a encrypted file filesystem, local access only. In addition to OpenBSD's default security/monitoring I also checksum lib's/bin's/sbin's/etc. for better intrusion detection flagging. As a single user desktop setup I have no issues with such separation/usage.debiman wrote:PS: additionally, i don't see what's the sense in being so careful about security and privacy in one's browser, only to then blow it all in the wind by using google's and other cloud services...
For screenshot (in keeping with the forum), I've added additional console colour by including in .profile ...

Actually, if you looked through some of the screen shots, in this topic, "What does your non-Debian desktop look like?"None1975 wrote:I wonder if anyone from the registered forum users uses cwm in Debian? It would be nice to hear reviews about cwm.
You will see there are a few using cwm,...
If you want to start a new topic, asking for "Reviews about cwm", that would
be fine , I think de-railing the What does your non-Debian desktop look like? topic, for specifically "reviews on cwm", is rather poor etiquette, and
bad taste. Personally I don't like it, (cwm) much, I have tried it. I prefer Fvwm:
Which pictures are pretty, might be a matter of opinion, but I agree it would be nice if members would start new topics, when they want to "chit chat" about other topics , IE : "It would be nice to hear reviews about cwm".

@None1975 , this is not personal, and it is not just you, there are a couple of others that seem to constantly try to turn this topic into a "chit chat" ,topic/thread, mostly about the OS , and WM they happen to prefer, ...maybe they just don't know how to start a new topic, I don't know... maybe it is just me, but I do find it annoying.... But ok, in the long run, I really don't care, if most of the other forum members want to turn this topic/thread into a "chit chat" thread, have fun, and let's just forget about what the topic is :

Re: What does your non-Debian desktop look like?
First off, if you read the OPs comments there are only 2 rules in this thread "Non-Debian and no thumbnails".
Clearly images are a major part of it but not the be all and end all. Otherwise the thread is nothing but a fashion show, the Miss World of the non Debian desktop and the descriptions would read like "red border on windows with shadow under active window and wobbly windows on iconify".
Personally I like the fact Miss Slovenia is intelligent as well as pretty and has a few interesting things to say. Also I'm sure those with blindness and poor sight blind appreciate the more detailed posts with descriptions of what advantage/features one DE/WM gives the user over another.
Posting nothing but a screen shot is bullshit and a disservice to the community write about it for god sake! Sometimes run a script the changes the look of my desktop every 60 seconds and while it may be aesthetically pleasing it does not change how it functions or demonstrate why my desktop is superior. Other times I a set a solid black wallpaper and have no panel or the panel on autohide, surely people what to know why my setup is the bees knees and not just look at a black rectangle!
Carry on

Your right, it was not the original post, but the 3rd one.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.
However, I still think review on a specific WM or DE, would be better in another topic, this one is for various desktops, I do have a question :
Who is "Miss Slovenia" ?

Thank you for showing your lack of intelligence, and knowledge, you don't even know me, nor do you know if I am male or female, I might even just be a bot, but any way your welcome to suspect anything you want.

The fact that you call others the trolls (as you often see in your comments) can give the impression that you are an old idiot. But it does not matter.
