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.

    Typically I don't keep anything on my desktop other than the trashcan.

    Warning, the image is large being a four monitor array.

    You get the award for the weirdest wallpaper in this thread, and the weirdest wallpaper I've ever seen in my life. It does communicate a distinct worldview pretty well though.

      It's a Reedit image from the Video Game crowd of PCs over Console gamers. I got it from a totally different source and found the history later. The side borders are there because the height just fits. The two black boxes on the top left and right are because of the monitor layout. 4 23" Acer monitors. One in the center, one rotated 180* above it, and two rotated 90* and 270* on either side. It gives me a piece-together 4k display :)

        OK, that explains it very well. I read it in a different, more general, way -- technology, futurists, transhumanism vs/contrasted/above primitivism, fundamentalism, naturalism... ugh, too many -isms, sorry.

        Thanks for the explanation!
