And... I've jumped to yet another Linux "flavor" (Fuduntu announced they are "closing shop"... bummer).  I currently have a desktop running OpenSUSE, another running Linux Mint (Mate), and I've setup my laptop with Xubuntu which is really working well plus it looks good. 

Here's the desktop for the Xubuntu system which looks pretty nice and a deeper blue in real life, and also clean.

... But Scyphi thinks it's ... boring.  So today I changed it to this:

Here's the original.

Likies!
But I must agree with Scyphi about the first one.

I know most of you would go, "Oh no!  Sapphire's been playing Pokemon, oh no!"  To be 100% clear, when it comes to Pokemon, I only play the video games period.  And I don't even care of catching all Pokemon, just a fraction of 'em.  So yeah, for my new randomizer, I found it on Deviant Art, it's Lucario as a Dragon Born

I'z not passing judgement on these things.  I have a couple friends who still play pokemon games.  And they still say very good things about them...
I probably would if I'd ever had a nintendo handheld.

New desktop. According to the artist, it's supposedly "scientifically proven to improve your desktop." :P

Relates to a tumblr blog by same artist called "Moonstuck". It's no longer updating, but it's still a great read. Very silly and epic at the same time. But mostly silly.  ;D

I would've used this one last month if I had found it sooner.  ::)

Scyphi's post reminded me that I'd changed my Linux desktop wallpaper yet again a while ago and had not posted it.

Props to whomever (other than Scyphi) can tell what it is in the pic.

Also, I'd post desktop pics of my latest project (a Linux based file server) but it's a "headless" server and all I'd be able to post is a blank screen with a couple lines of text.  Not exactly post worthy viewing. :)

So in other words, I guess I have to keep quiet. :P

A large number of pixels of various colors and brightness.

Seriously though, I am sure I have seen that before but can't quite place it. Eve perhaps?

Can I at least say IHateHackers is on the right track?

Oh wait, I guess I just did.  ::)
