SoylentNews is people
SoylentNews
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.

sometimes a link to a screen cap from my toshiba i5 lappy gets posted on IRC when something weird or awesome happens (usually SN or bot related), so some of you prolly already know i use a virtualbox with debian wheezy with xfce and some gnome junk thrown in for good measure (gedit prior to going full tard is awesome). the host OS is windows 7, but that doesn't get used for much except the odd game and delphi programming.
i like multi-monitor. even though lately i've been using my laptop on the couch with just the one screen, sometimes i plumb up one of the 23" from my desktop
the desktop is debian jessie with xfce. dropped tard version of gedit for mousepad on it. doesn't really get used much but having two screens does make it handy for web development.
there's also a server that runs debian but i mostly just ssh into that so a screen cap would be pretty boring.
i like wallpapers with not too much going on, but maybe a bit of abstract stuff going on. i used to have conky set up but don't bother anymore. conky is awesome for making a desktop look more nerdy
even though these sorts of stories aren't the main focus of SN, i think it would be good to see more of them pop up on weekends occasionally (esp if the queue is low). a plain ol' news site can be fairly impersonal so things like journals, polls, 'ask soylent's etc are all good to help develop a sense of community.
