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.

I'd post a picture but I'm never on Soylent from home... ;)
I use Enlightenment, I've got six virtual desktops arranged in two rows of three. Never understood the point of virtual desktops until I got this laptop -- turns out they're GREAT when your system has the power to run more than one thing at a time! So I've got two rows of three and I use the top row for fun, bottom row for work. The top right (primary) has Firefox on the left half and a transparent terminal on the right (Conky lives under that terminal), second desktop is my secondary terminal and VirtualBox, third desktop is...let's just say private browsing. Across the bottom first I have Kate for development, then probably Chromium or a tertiary terminal depending on what I'm coding, and the last desktop is miscellaneous -- been holding The Gimp this week as I've been working on graphics for my personal website.
I've got this cool Arch Linux wallpaper with a double helix thing down the right side -- I think it was originally blue, but I've changed it to red. And I've got Conky set up overlaid on that. Inside the helix from the top down we've got a clock and uptime, then a set of rings showing CPU load and clock frequency, temperature, and a graph of load over time. Below that is a set of partial rings showing disk space on each hard drive, RAM, and battery. Bottom right corner is a network graph and instantaneous network speed readout, then my volume/brightness bars, and above that is readouts of my virtual datacenter (Proxmox server) -- CPU and memory utilization of each server, along with a readout of HTTP status codes from the log files and a readout of all active user sessions. Cyberpunk style security -- because there's nothing actually of value on that server.
