Penguins just wanna have fun :-)


@LiefLayer: There was a Linux distro called Pear OS once (old version still downloadable), which looked almost exactly like OSX. The reason for its disappearance is still a mystery however some people are trying to continue where it left off with a new distro called Pearl OS.

Try fooling Windows users with it and write down the time it takes until they realize that something's off. :D
I guess if they only do browser, office and multimedia stuff and you make some more play on linux shortcuts for Windows games, they won't notice it at all.

If I told a few customers at work that Win10 is completely different just as Win8 is to Win7 they'd probably believe me. I had a customer saying his monitor didn't work even when plugged into his video card, once I went on site I discovered he didn't plug the power supply at all (was in his drawer), so yeah totally doable. :D

I know but I really don't like cheap copy... And Pear OS/Pearl OS are just that really cheap copy.
I really like Aqua of OSX but I also like Windows 10 DE... I like them because they are well made in every detail.
Linux distro, as well as Java, tend to overlook the look and feel (They neglect the basics of HCI)... Just look at that ugly Pearl OS site, it seems an advertising site done in 5 minutes...

That's why I want to give a chance to Deepin after many years of Ubuntu... it's the second linux distro that got:
1. a site that does not sucks. (look at debian, linux mint ecc... all this site sucks... the only one that it's better than shit is OpenSuse, but it's like a wiki).
2. a really modern and great look. Clearly inspired by os x and windows ... but original (it's not the same...).
It seems that for the interface have used HTML5, which is an excellent idea, because it is universal, it is compatible.
it also seem that deepin is used a lot on china, and it's not an amatorial work.

In the end I do not know if I will use deepin ... I am convinced that Linux needs a convergence ...
Too much choice means confusion, confusion that is reflected in poor software quality.
I think linux need an official distro (Ubuntu? I think it's the most supported right now)... Linux distro can be many but developer have to focus on one to create a quality software...

In any case, I've already tested Pear/Pearl OS... they are just a cheap unstable amatorial distro, that nobody use.

well, upload to big it seems
my desktop is just too fabulous

I tried it today... it's bugged as hell... really.
the store does not always download (while the browser can download), you cannot full resize some interface... you can right click->uninstall any application, but when you try to do it in a system application it just does not work (without any warning/error), when you try to install an application (like firefox) not from the app store (that does not work) you cannot have your new application in the launcher... the application folder is hidden, and work with symbolic link... that you have to create with terminal (yes you cannot use interface for symbolic link)... also that does not help with lanchpad.

Maybe I felt a little rushed, but after all a good interface should be immediately usable (like HCI said).

Still Ubuntu. I'm too used to it to change anything major. ;)

Edit: I also have installed Arch, but well... I kind of have no idea what to do with it, so it just "gathers dust".

Mine today :D

Another linux desktop: this time playing around with Linux Mint MATE.
I uploaded my images to imgur because I wanted to avoid the significant decrease in image quality I had last time when I tried uploading via gog itself.

[wait a minute I did I gaffe on my screencaps-fixing it...
just in case you wonder what kind of gaffe that was, Mate, contrarily to cinammon, shows the username on the label of the personal folder, which in this case was my r-l first name...]

EDIT- at last the pics:

On my Linux Mint 17.3, GOG versions of DROD installed. Also, DOSBox for running several GOG games. GO games? Games. Desktop background by Milo Manara, but the girls are clothed. :D

My new Mint 17.3, mostly defaults.

I found my Myth discs, so i've been playing that over any GOG games. Myth 1 runs perfectly in Wine and Myth 2 is Linux native with the unofficial patches.

Thanks InkPanther for showing off screenfetch on your desktop, that's a neat little app.

mine :D
