I haven't obsessed this much with my desktop since I was .. much younger. Trying to make it functional and purrty on 30 year old hardware is challenging but fun. Thanks to and the fact that most old X and tools are still around and do all the things they always did - and haven't bloated much in those 30 years - helps a lot.

I'll take Wayland when it comes my way without me having to lift a finger, but until then I'm glad the X Window System is still around. Keeps this old hardware useful.

    Running the hot-babe CPU monitor. [SENSITIVE CONTENT]And the obligatory screenshot .. maybe a bit nsfw due to the ancient CPU monitor ;)

    Since this screenshot was taken after posting the previous message, the box is quite busy, so Ms. Cynthia is a bit underdressed for the occasion..

    Screenshot of a NetBSD desktop showing HexChat IRC client, a couple xrootconsole instances tailing logs, WindowMaker WM, GKrellM and Hot-Babe system/CPU monitors.
