Some artwork from Custom Battler Bomberman got cycled in as the latest background on my Entroware Orion i5 just now, so here's a screenshot. The game pinched a bunch of ideas from Capcom's MegaMan Battle Network, hence the Tron-like cyberspace aesthetic.

I've switched from Solus to Nobara in april, but I kept my GNOME setup more or less the same, bar some additional tweaks. I always use the unity-style layout on GNOME (top bar and the side panel).

Now that's an impressive amount of stuff in your Gnome dock! Tastes really do differ, Ubuntu's Unity-style layout always drives me nuts because the windows are always slightly to the bottom left, due to the dock and the header panel. I don't know why this irks me so, I guess it's because they're not centered.

A 4K screen let's you go absolutely nuts with what you put on that top bar. I recently discovered the KDE Plasma widget "Audio Device Switcher" and it's an absolute game-changer, particularly for me, regularly switching between my monitor speakers, headphones and bluetooth headset.

Love how smart it all looks - and love Dig Dug hanging out in your terminal there, too! How did you do that?

I've used this to make a random color script appear each time I open a new terminal / terminal instance. Not all of them are as nice as this one though, but it's still pretty cool to me.

Damn, this screenshot makes me wish I had a higher resolution display. It's glorious. How big is your display btw?

Unfortunately, even If I were to get a new PC / laptop and a new monitor, I'd go for a 27" 1440p 144/165hz display as 4k gaming imo is still too taxing with the more resource-hungry games out there (and I don't tend to upgrade my hardware too often).

As to switching audio, I use a GNOME extension to take care of that. I've installed various extensions that expand the tray menu a bit (add an audio input / output chooser, audio mixer, bluetooth quick connect - I use it to turn off my controller when I finish playing, GSconnect (KDE connect for GNOME) and buttons for accessing the GNOME tweaks and GNOME extensions apps).

It's 43". It was £499 when I bought it, but it appears to have gone up in price since Jan 2021. I changed the stand too - makes a big difference to how it looks!

Looks like I was running Mint back in early 2021!
