I migrated to Arch Linux back in October and have been in love ever since. I thought Ubuntu was flexible but Arch stretches that whole idea to a new level. We’re talking about building your OS from the ground up, the way you like it. Much more customization and less bloat.

The details:

• OS: Arch Linux x86_64
  • Kernel: 2.6.28-Arch
• Desktop Environment: Xfce4
  • Window Manager: Compiz
  • Window Decorator: Emerald; Kind of Blue by tob1k
  • Gtk2 Theme: MurrinaElement
• Desktop Aesthetics
  • Wallpaper: Strukt Wallpaper
  • Icons: Tango
  • Conky Script: Custom Conky 2009 – Download
  • Dock: Avant-Window-Navigator
  • System Tray: Trayer
• Applications
  • Music Management: Rhythmbox
    • Plugin: Rhythmbox Desktop Art by Mathias Nedrebø
  • IM & Chat: XChat & Pidgin
  • Browser: Firefox

I love Linux for its flexibility when it comes to desktop customization.

• OS: Ubuntu Linux
• Wallpaper: Lucky Chuck by David Lanham
• GTK 2.x Theme: Glow Water Dark
• Emerald Theme: Ninja
• System Icons: gTango
• AWN Icons: Gant 3 by Mattahan
• Conky Scripts: Custom
• Screenlets: HDUsage v0.1

Simple, Elegant… Linux.
