It's likely a combination of a Unix-like OS and special effects. On the fourth screenshot I can barely make out "System: Free-(illegible) BSD" and "Kernel: 7.3-Release" so it may be based on FreeBSD...

Just for the heck of it I tried setting up a "personal cloud" over the weekend. I wasn't planning to actually use it since I like Google's, Dropbox's, and Evernote's solutions quite a lot, but I...

Acer Aspire One AOD-150 netbook

Ubuntu 12.04 and 13.04: Installs fine, runs a bit sluggishly, and almost everything works except for suspending when closing the lid. Closing the lid will result in...

Chromebooks aren't really meant to have another OS installed on them although for the determined there are ways. There is ChrUbuntu, as referenced in the post above, but I wasn't very happy with how...

I love the new tabs and turned on the Updates and Forums ones in addition to the default Social Networking and Promotions ones. It did require some manual moving around of some messages but otherwise...

Chrome. I use it on my desktop, my netbook, my Chromebook, my Nexus 7, and my phone. I do skip on Chrome on my iPad mostly because of iOS limitations. I like having my bookmarks, saved passwords,...

Since it's a Samsung, you might try Kies Air. Airdroid also may do what you need it to. Both are browser-based and seem to offer a lot of capabilities. Airdroid is better for uploading files to your...

Just a very basic one. Only started using conky today.

I just built this machine a few days ago:
AMD Phenom II X3 720 (unlocked 4th core, and clocked at 3GHz)
MSI 785GTM-E45 motherboard
4GB DDR2-1066 SDRAM
500GB Western Digital SATA hard disk...

My Unix-like OS history in the order I tried them goes something like this: Minix -> Linux -> FreeBSD -> NetBSD -> OpenBSD -> Solaris -> Mac OS X -> OpenSolaris. I have only used one "real" Unix...

Colorado has more than its share of dumb laws, mainly thanks to the so-called Blue Laws that remain on the books for no good reason.

Up until July of 2008 it was illegal to have a liquor store...

I haven't really had any issues with PulseAudio. In fact, I had to install it in Kubuntu because otherwise I could not have more than one app using the sound card at a time. It surprised me to learn...

Kubuntu 10.4 Beta 2
Motherboard
MSI
785GTM-E45

Sound and onboard ethernet work right away. Graphics fully usable in 2D mode right away (using default open-source driver), and installing the...

4 right now. Might increase it to 6 soon. 1 I use for web browsers and usually have a terminal open in it, too. 2 I use for multimedia stuff like a music or movie player, and also media management...

I first played around with Linux in late 1999 with an early version of Caldera Linux (kernel 1.2 I believe) and then RedHat 5.2. Which is also when I determined that the GIMP was my favorite image...

I don't hate Windows. It works great for many people. I just personally can't stand using it or maintaining it. I want a system that I can customise extensively and that I don't have to fight with....

I put that it works completely, although there are some minor issues on my Acer Aspire One AOD150 (the 10" model) with the Ubuntu 9.04 beta. The WiFi LED indicator doesn't work and neither does the...

I really like vim and it is definitely my preferred editor. But when doing simple modifications to system files I generally just use nano. And most Linux systems nowadays have it installed anyway, so...

I've been a big fan of HandBrake for a long time on any platform it runs on. On Ubuntu with libdvdcss installed it rips and encodes all in one shot, too. When encoding into H.263 format using the...

9.04 because it supports my hardware very well. Not to mention it boots quick, is fast, and despite being a beta is quite stable for me.

I doubt Windows 7 would get ported to ARM. It's a huge architectural change that would require a significant investment of resources by Microsoft for no real gain since there'd be no software library...

It seems to be a very common ailment with the latest video drivers included in Ubuntu for a variety of different graphics chipsets, but I finally got video playback to work on my Acer Aspire One 10"...

My Acer Aspire One 10" has taken over as my primary computer. I did come from a nearly 4-year old Apple iBook G4, though, so this thing is quite a bit faster and has far more software available. For...

Transmission was my favourite on Mac OS X and I'm perfectly happy that it's the default in Ubuntu. It's simple, easy to use, and gets the job done. No reason for me to use anything else.
