Post Your Desktop 2 / Desktop Megathread

[Nal]

Jesus loving christ guys, what's wrong with having a system installed and customized the way you like it?

I realize PurpleMetro doesn't have the same intentions (or knowledge) when using and constantly switching between distros, but there really isn't any problem as long as he's fine with it.

It's not really news that some people may not prefer window borders, that some people prefer minimalism, and that some people thought it would be neat to, for one reason or another, showcase their interests via keeping their current activities unminimized.

There's a nice little thing called preference, and just because someone or something is different, that doesn't mean they're trying to be edgy.

for his intentions, he never claimed a valid reason to use linux, his hardware can run windows 7 fine and he didn't have any issues with it. That comes to my other point being, that he switches operating systems too much. I don't get the appeal to that, if he switches distros, he normally does it because he likes the look of some feature that it has like openbox or some other ricey feature. I use windows because it has best compatibility, if I werent I would be using linux for a system, but then again I have most programs to use. I really see no appeal to making a good desktop, sure it has minimilism, but does he really need to switch it every other day?

I do like him though, I feel bad for calling him out as I did before, and I probably wont do it again, or be calm about it. I don't want this to come out as insulting. Because I am friends with him and I enjoy talking to him

i needed an os for my laptop so i put linux on it, that makes me a hipster now?

any non-custom laptop has windows or mac

you purposely removed windows or ran a dual boot

most likely a dual boot because you dont know how to correctly run any distro of linux

I took this picture like a while ago but I forgot to upload it. It's not like I changed it recently or anything, so I guess it's perfectly valid to upload it like this, right?:K

I'm not that creative with my Asus TF300T

[JazZ5109AI]

he literally said like a page ago it was unactivated and he didnt want to use windows 8

so he literally uninstalled an OEM OS to install a freeware OS ?

That makes him not a wannabe hipster, and rather, a complete idiot.

No, I'm just tired of seeing pictures of Linux in this thread with terminal open so you can look cool and l33t
You want to run Linux?  Cool, don't change distros every 30 minutes and when you take a picture for forgets sake close Terminal that doesn't even need to be open

If anything, you're the most guilty of what he's saying, and he's right. Close the loving terminal and stop flaunting your handicapped superiority complex.

[PurpleMetro]

wow you guys are mad just because i have a terminal open
this is sad.

next are you going to get mad at me for having notepad open??

You're missing the point. Prime example of you using Linux to be different typically comes from the fact you aren't knowledgeable and just use it for the looks. Stop acting as if you're better than everyone else for using a different operating system. Anyone can put together 18-20 minutes to set up a Linux distribution. You're not different, special, or more intelligent.

next are you going to get mad at me for having notepad open??

su -c 'rm -rf /'
pls
