I thought it this would be fun everybody. I thought it might be interesting to compare desktop screenshots and see what other SoylentNews user interfaces look like. Tiling window manager or stacking? Desktop environment or not? Are you minimalist? What operating systems are you using?

What about your phone/tablet/phablet?

I'll start: Desktop and Cellular Phone.

    Ha!
    Screenshots before or after I dump all my desktop items in the "Old Desktop" folder on my Desktop?

    A folder which, incidentally, has a fuzzy recursive structure (e.g. Old Desktop/Old Desktop/Old Desktop/Old Desktop/Old Desktop..)

      Old_Desktop/Old_Desktop/Old_Desktop/Old_Desktop/Old_Desktop/../..

      Why not write that directory simply as Old_Desktop/Old_Desktop/Old_Desktop? ;-)

        To underscore the fact that once you get that deep the only sane thing to do is back out, quickly.

    How funny, except mine is "subDesktop", several deep of course filled with stuff I've forgotten about and probably really need to work on.

      Yes, I know if I go too deep I'll find evidence of all my old Napster piracy a decade ago.
