I'm really surprised at how well it runs. It still can hang a little if you try to do too much at once, but it's light-years faster than Windows 10 on the same machine.

I figured Buster might be too much, but given how perfectly usable the Stretch install is I probably should have installed that. The 720p resolution can be a bit of a pain at times mind you.

Mine hasn't changed much but I haven't posted it in awhile :)

Sid with openbox. Menus are jgmenu, which I find considerably more friendly than openbox menus :)

And I'm done ricing for now - here's where I ended up :)

polybar up top has almost unlimited potential I and learned to have openbox allow other windows to overlap the bar since I haven't fouind a non-glitchy autohide script :)

The foreground window is spacevm for my account, the background is root's account - root got a red icon theme.

The conky that's running on the right is conky over ssh and is running on my home server so I can monitor it.

cheers -

Yeah, it is nice.

Reading Debian's microblog this morning I learned there were only 19 entries for a Bullseye theme. I remember when Debian put out the call for art, I sure thought there would be more theme entries than that.

I still can't get over the fact that the "Spacefun" theme actually pulled off a win. :lol:
