Mint 17.1 with the default background (too lazy to change it :P )
Set the mint bar to auto hide to have full use and view of the desktop.
playing Serpent in the Staglands.

Exactly.

Running a new setup on KDE 5, will upload a screenshot soon.

Here is my setup. Running Ubuntu MATE with some old school Duke Nukum. Along with a sad reddit post....nothing is more sad than a sad penguin ;(

Just revamped my XFCE 4 desktop. (Arch)

This time running SimCity 2000 SE.

Here you go... running Linux Mint 17.2, a fine Linux distro I might add. The game is OlliOlli. ;)

Feeling minty.... my Arch Linux install is now powered by MATE!

P.S. the game is X-Wing =)

Upgraded to Mint 17.2, playing The Witcher.
I actually changed my background from the default one :P

Mine hasn't changed in awhile. Still running Arch, with openbox + plank + dzen2 / conky. Pretty minimalistic, and that's what I like about it. Small title bars, small info bar at the top. Plank autohides if there is a window under it. Openbox provides for great keyboard shortcuts, so I have ton's of shortcuts for window management, which kind of mimics windows 7's aero snap, but better, because it's with a keyboard instead of a mouse.

And here's the empty desktop

And the best Arch wallpaper ever, with a little bit of Escape Goat!

My new Mate wallpaper along with a black theme and new icons. It's still Mint 17.1 under the hood but I may switch to OpenSUSE in the near future, just have to resolve a few issues with the OS.

Anyone looking for a copy of the wallpaper, it can be found here: http://www.wallpaperup.com/56446/mountains_stars_blur_bokeh_Milky_Way_waiting_skies.html :-)

Speaking of plank, do you know where there is some documentation for it?

Here you go for more ;)

This thread make me nostalgic for my Linux days. I think I'll install a second hard disk and use Windows 7 as a secondary O.S.
Since the last Slackware version is two years old (I hope Patrick Volkerding is ok), I might try one of its descendant or a GOG supported distribution.

I know I'm replying to an old post, but I just found this thread. Thanks for this screenshot. I never heard of Digitally Imported before. It was a great find for me.
