I've never liked a desktop as much as the one I have now 🐎. There is no turning back. 
🇳🇱
@binsrc Nice, looks slick... im on a qtile rice right now but also have a i3 rice going. I <3 tiling window managers
@freemo lol (https://www.reddit.com/r/unixporn/comments/3iy3wd/stupid_question_what_is_ricing/) i had no idea. Well, I'm doing a server some time this week. Maybe I should try one of these tiling window managers and see how hard I crash and burn. 😆
@binsrc They are amazing in terms of productivity IMO.. once i moved to one I cant stand regular WM anymore.
@freemo which one out of qtile and i3 makes you feel happy to be alive, (i'll try that one)? I'm guessing qtile.
@binsrc Here is a post, with screenshots, where I show off my i3 setup vs my qtile setup
@freemo @binsrc Very nice screenshot. I saw some posts this weekend by a userr in another forum, different versions of Linux.
One was ElementalOS, which I hadn't heard about.
I had a smile on seeing the systems specs and stats on the bottom corner. No wonder you like it, lol. 😜
My main system, where all my talking and imagery comes from, is a HP Elitebook 8560p, with an i7 processor like yours.
The smoothness of a quad core, 8 threads processor is wonderful. The machine takes my abusive 'one more tab' without complaints.
Running Windows 10, which I enjoy, have used it since before release, was part of Windows Insiders program.
I have vaious other machines around and should put a serious effort into using Linux in one of them. But being satisfied and productive in one platform reduces the urge to jump into new waters, at least for me, who would feel like a fish off the water.
Nice screenshot and glad you are happy on a desktop. I have one here closeby with a dual monitor setup, mostly off, would make a power user masto station. 😉
@freemo @design_RG once you’ve gone Gnu you can’t go back either. :)
