Thread for toasting and rating other people's epic desktops. Mine's a lightly riced W10 one, that Rainmeter skin I mentioned in some
past posts has become a mainstay of it for me. As has my Vista taskbar and start menu which I've probably had for years now. Pretty happy with my desktop and I haven't changed it in quite a long time at this point. Part of me does want to move to Linux but none of the retro Windows themes I've seen for it are ever quite pixel perfect like you can get on an actual Windows OS, plus a lot of programs and games I use still isn't supported unfortunately. Not looking forward to 2032 when my IoT LTSC Enterprise 2021 installation kicks the bucket. :Sigh:

Been on here since the start of the academic year, a little Chinese mini PC with Slackware. I don't think there's anything I would change about it, pretty much the ideal experience for me.

Where'd you find that S;G shortcut icon? Looks so cool!

Which one? The one on the left is from the Variant Space Octet game, the right one is from The Distant Valhalla which is an adaptation of one of the light novels (it doesn't work on my computer though, it crashes on the menu when you try to start the game).

Ohh I see, yeah I meant the Variant Space Octet one. I've seen screencaps of that game and it looks lovely, definitely need to give it a read sometime. Since it just said Steins;Gate (with some JP text that I can't read) I thought you had like modified it yourself or something.
