Yeah, my latest technical endeavor as I was bored a couple of nights back and thought, why not?
Now two days later, and after many tearful screams at the computer screen, I'm back! And I love it.
Look at me with my wobbly windows and virtual 3D desktops ^^
Here's what mine looks like now click here, the window animations are a lot of fun as seeing things burn away always are.
But it's more than cosmetic, it's open-source, so everything is free, the installation of anything is so easy sometimes I wonder if it even installed; the synaptic package manager is a work of genius.
The only problem I've come across so far was getting my ATI graphics card to work with Ubuntu, which was a huge pain. Apparently it's much easier with Nvidia, but there you go. Once I'd got that up and running I was set.
Right now, with the help of the application Wine, all the old windows applications I relied on are being reinstalled and I've found better replacements for others.
I'm a right happy bunny it seems :)
Anyway, since screenshots can't really do it justice, I'll leave you with this YouTube link which is over a year old now too! So there's more features ^^
