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.

No screenshots, but I guess I'll post my setup.
I run Arch Linux. I use dwm to manage my windows; simple is best. I use the default systemd; YMMV. I run rsyslog alongside journald (best of both worlds). I make use of the user mode for systemd, allowing me to run and manage services as a user, such as gpg-agent, urxvtd, and mpd.
I use Chromium as my web browser, with uMatrix serving all of my blocking/filtering needs. My multi-tool is Emacs, with Evil for text editing, newsticker for RSS, and mu4e+isync (mbsync) for email (although I use vanilla Vim for light editing and on my servers).
I use Jack as my main audio server, with all of my applications routed into non-mixer as my audio mixer. Non-Jack applications get routed through ALSA -> PulseAudio -> Jack, but that's mainly for videos in Chromium because everything else I use supports Jack. My music player is mpd, for coding sessions, and I use cantata as a frontend when I need it.
I use urxvt as my terminal emulator, tmux as my muxer, zsh as my shell, ranger as my file manager, and Vim as my text editor (though I now program in Emacs using Evil). I have a lot of Python scripts to automate my workflow, some of which I have installed as custom packages using Arch Linux's stupid easy packaging via ABS and pacman.
Both Emacs and my shell environment are heavily configured; I believe in sharpening your tools.
