    While I love the background, the cluttered mass of icons makes my eye twitch. A modicum of organization, please.

      The only perfect background is to disable all icons and keep it black

          I run a Windows operating system on an m.2 SSD on the latest generation AMD CPU and GeForce graphics card. My name is Patrick Bateman. I’m 27 years old. I believe in taking care of my operating system and a balanced power profile and rigorous maintenance routine. In the morning if my game is a little laggy I’ll put on a memory optimisation program while running benchmarks. I can score 1000 now. After I remove unused programs I use a file clearing tool such as CCleaner. On the desktop I audit all my shortcuts , remove any I haven’t opened for a while and sort the rest into folders. Then I apply any driver or software updates before powering off my PC which I leave off for 10 minutes while I prepare the rest of my routine. I always use a keyboard cleaning wipe with little or no alcohol, because alcohol dries your fingers out and makes you type slower. Then screen cleaning, then wiping down my desk mat followed by a final system boot.

            Yeah, imagine having a not-cluttered-as-fuck workstation that looks nice?

            Fucking savages don’t organize their cables.

          Lol, dude should just slip in some skinned-up Linux Mint. Dad’s mind would be blown because OMG it’s so fast now!

              Funny, because this looks a lot like how Longhorn did/was supposed to. Very pretty for its time.

              Longhorn broke my heart, and I haven’t used Windows since (except to play Fallout)

                  Beta testing Longhorn, and it’s failure, just killed my last ounce of faith in MS. I went and bought a Mac after that, lol.

                  TBH, being into Macs are what got me into UNIX and Linux, though, so that’s something.

                    A while back I wanted to make a Longhorn-style fork of Haiku (imo the sweet spot between windows and linux), although I ended up quitting because it was too much work

                    Here are some mockups
