I got myself a new PC with four monitors. One is 4K and the other three are 1080p. One is oriented vertically. The one on the lower-left is a touchscreen 10-inch monitor. I keep Outlook open on it. Also, what I can't show you is my animated wallpapers using Wallpaper Engine. The one on the horizontally-oriented monitors cycles through RGB colors. If I had the will to do it, I'd have a few more tray icons. I reinstalled Windows just as the semester was starting, though. I didn't have the will to set up all of my installed applications. The next time I'll install Windows, I'll install what I'll be able to using a package manager called Scoop. Scoop installs applications to the home directory, so it's a lot cleaner than an alternative that I've been using called Chocolatey.

Fun fact: Buffalo sauce contains the entire DNA sequence of buffalo, so you can clone buffalo while eating buffalo wings with buffalo sauce at Buffalo Wild Wings in Buffalo, New York. I've never tried it, though.

The current laptop. Probably says something about my feelings towards modern games...

"If you try to please everybody, you often times end up pleasing nobody, especially yourself. When somebody offers to do a favor for free, like making a mod for SimCity 4, you shouldn't be overly critical of something generously given to you. In other words, you shouldn't look a gift horse in the mouth." - Twilight Sparkle after playing SimCity

I've settled with this for a few months. It used to be a lot more crazy with Rainmeter stuff (even made a fetch skin at some point), but now I'm content with a plain date/NowPlaying skin on the taskbar of my left monitor.

Wallpaper.jpg.a8116349f36e9ef868d247c6da11023b.jpg

I've decided to go without desktop icons and, yes, I'm hiding the taskbar because I got myself OLED displays! The wallpaper is the dark Windows 11 Education edition rendition of the Windows 11 bloom. I liked it best among all of the Windows 11 bloom wallpapers that currently exist.

I reinstalled Windows last night. I'm still without a graphics card. I had to sell it about a month ago. I got rid of Edge and I've switched to Brave. I honestly don't care about privacy, but with Brave continuing support for content blocking after Google drops support for Manifest v2, I've switched to Brave. Also, Brave will not support Google's Safetynet for websites. Additionally, the popups in Edge are unbearable!

I know that my avatar is the Solus logo, but I've switched to Kubuntu on all my Linux devices. Ubuntu is the path of least resistance. It's so much easier to install Arch now that Arch has an optional guided installer. I want things to be simple on the Linux side of things for me, though. Ubuntu offers that. I prefer KDE over GNOME; however. That's why my Linux devices now run Kubuntu.

Edit: If you'd like to actually see something other than a wallpaper, here is my taskbar unhidden. Since Windows 8 has been around, I haven't been able to live without StartIsBack and each rendition of it since then. It's through the Start Menu replacement StartAllBack that I have segments on my taskbar and the Start button separated from the rest of the taskbar icons. The Google Play Store on Windows 11 is such a novelty. I haven't been able to find a real use for it yet. I use Signal to talk with my best friend.

OMG! I literally thought that this was about making a photo of your physical desktop, not the computer one*:D

Hopefully I found out before publishing it

So there's my computer desktop

I made it by myself, and yes, graphic design is my passion. I divided it into 2 categories: Cosas útiles (useful things) and Mis juegazos (A informal and exaggerated way of saying very good games or something like that) 

I had a weird one in the past. It was literally the logo of Internet Explorer and all the icons were on the yellow thing that goes across the "E". I had like 3 times the icons that I have now so it was horrible to actually find something in there. So I decided to get something actually useful.
