Remember when the desktop thread would showcase the various apps people were running, and the various DEs, and various DE configurations?
Now it seems to have devolved (over the last 6 years) into an Ubuntu Wallpaper thread.
Most are even using the same theme/icons.
My Ubuntu screenshot would not add anything to this thread, since the box is only used as an XBMC machine.
Has the spirit of the Wallpaper thread changed? I ask those who have been here 10+ years?
Just wondering.

| Speaking only for myself, I don't post because I don't have anything new. I'm using the same DE, wallpaper and apps. Not much value in reposting other than the output of uname -a. |

You may be correct but I don't remember that time you recall. I'm coming up on my 10th year of membership here so perhaps the monthly thread had devolved by the time I became aware of it. Regardless, I do get a kick out of looking at various desktops, distro configs AND wallpapers.

| I've been here as long as you "Spanky" despite the date on my userid. I was going to try to search for those old threads, but just now remember the site crashed a lost the older stuff. But even when Conky came out, the desktop thread was a chance for us to have a discussion about various programs and setups. Maybe, I just remember it differently?
Anywho, I knew you'd take my query in the right spirit Spanky.
Peace.

Yes, good to see you in here once again. I was still a corporate slave, Windows user back in 2001,2, etc. I think I attempted to install some early form of linux in the late 90's from some floppies.
Found an old box in 2006 and loaded Dapper Drake on it and was, I guess, hooked.

| 2006- Yup sounds about right. I remember you because one of our machines was identical. I like to think I pushed you to 64bit full time as well:-P |

LOL! Sweet thanks! I knew I was not tripping.
Thanks also for the 10 year flash back.

Yeah, I think you did push me to 64 bit. I see one of our machines are still nearly identical hardware wise. The only change I've made recently has been going to a SSD boot drive.
