Border around the Windows logo? Yeah, that annoyed me once you pointed it out.

Thank you for pointing it out, now it annoys me too. :dry:

 

And following the recent update of my OS, here is the new desktop:

Pretty minimalistic compared to the old one, I ain't going for anything fancy this time. And I have to say I like the new update, Multiarch support is a brilliant addition, not much of a fan of GNOME Shell though. :biggrin:

 

Also, because the kernel was updated from 2.6 to 3.2, I was now able to install ATI Catalyst 13.1 legacy drivers and raise my clocks higher (715,545). So, here is the new result of Unigine Valley benchmark:

8.6 FPS compared to 7.1 I had before, It's good to see I'm making progress. It ain't much but it's still progress. :happy:

Minimalistic ftw.

I really like how clean it is.

Here's a screenshot of my latest OS, I'm testing it to see what changes have been made since the OS I use came out:

Ubuntu 13.10 "Saucy Salamander" development branch, it's a cutting edge Linux distribution that's quite a few steps forward from the Ubuntu 12.04 LTS I use (Linux 3.9 compared to 3.2 I use, among other things).

 

The wallpaper is my own creation, had to try out the new GIMP and I like it. :biggrin:

 

On the upside, it's much faster and more responsive, it has greater support for wireless chips and the Unity interface seems a lot more polished and easier to use, in a way it's a nice upgrade.

 

On the downside, it's utterly unstable (it's not even alpha yet which explains it's instability) and I don't like some changes that have been made (like the web integration in dash which slows down the system, etc.), I hope things will change in a better direction by the time a new 14.04 LTS release comes out.

 

Knowing Cannonical, it could go either way, for better or worse. I gotta say, I'm not sure I like that. :confused:
