Dr. J Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 Been tweaking around with Mate again... After mucking around with an Ubuntu VM troubleshooting a particular piece of software for a friend, I realised I actually really like the Ubuntu themes... As it happens they're on the AUR, so here's my desktop now. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
securitybreach Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 So you themed Manjaro to look like Ubuntu? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V.T. Eric Layton Posted April 14, 2017 Author Share Posted April 14, 2017 (edited) Wow! This was a decade ago... ...and my desktops have hardly changed much since then. I'm a creature of habit, I s'pose. Today's desktop... Edited April 14, 2017 by V.T. Eric Layton 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. J Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 So you themed Manjaro to look like Ubuntu? Yup, might keep it like this for a little while. (Not entirely sure what the Manjaro community would make of that...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. J Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 Well, 'nuff 'buntu for me... Back to using a respin of Numix GTK theme with some greens in it, so it looks somewhat like Manjaro again... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

raymac46 Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 This is Manjaro Xfce running in VirtualBox on my Lenovo laptop. I set it full screen so you Linux gurus don't have to see the Windows taskbar underneath. Besides I don't have as much screen real estate to work with on a laptop. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

raymac46 Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 (edited) The netbook is tiny, memory challenged, slow. There are a couple of good things about it: Linux friendly and I didn't have to tear it apart to replace the HDD with a cheap SSD. It has all the essential laptop stuff like wifi so I got experience installing Arch and getting wifi working. Longer term I am on the lookout for an older business laptop - Dell, HP, Thinkpad - to use as a Linux tester. I would like to get a Core i5 1st generation or later that uses DDR3 memory and has at least SATA 2 capability for storage. Much as I like desktops a laptop is a lot easier to set up for a test. Also I want something with easy access to upgrade to an SSD or add more memory. My current consumer grade Lenovo runs very well, has a nice keyboard and screen but it is a nightmare to work on. Even the battery is internal. The local computer shop has some T510s that are in beautiful condition - just a bit more than I want to pay.

securitybreach Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 I bought this netbook last year which is pretty nice (I upgraded the ram to 8gb). It's not a powerhouse but it is sufficient for a travel machine: Lenovo ThinkPad 11E 11.6 - Inch Ultraportable Business Notebook (Intel N2940 Quad-Core, 4 GB DDR3 SDRAM, 128 GB Solid State Drive, Windows 10) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. J Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 Lenovo seem to be pretty good at giving you physical access to the hardware in there laptops... sadly some manufacturers tend to lock everything down. Ps (sort of). I've taken back to plugging my laptop in to the TV when I'm at home again. Here's my current Plasma setup with a nice big resolution to play around with. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

raymac46 Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 This is Debian GNOME Shell running on my Thinkpad T430. I added a few Shell Extensions to customize it. Looks a bit like Xfce now. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
