I use a rather boring, plain jane window manager, icewm. I liked it back in 1999/2000 when I was playing with different ones and I used it for some time. So it was a blast from the past, when I heard there was a new release, version 3.x.

The reason I like it for my gaming setup is because it has fine grained focus settings and behaviour that makes focus problems in games a thing of the past.

Boring UI, but note the quaint Netscape icon in my quick launch area. I was going through their icons and they still had the same ones from decades ago! I couldn't resist using the N for my Firefox browser :-)

Anyway, I'm more showing my awesome Geralt screenshot (Witcher 3). I was finishing up a mission when I noticed the lighting and shadow. I spun my view around to show my character and took a shot. It was early in game, so that was still the default armour etc. Unfortunately, on close look, there are some transitions because of foliage blowing in the wind but it's a minor defect.

This is just the original Witcher 3 ("Classic" now) and it's still like having a million beautiful paintings with every footstep. I really love traversal in this game and I do most of it on foot.

Clear Linux and i3wm has by far the best performance of any Linux distro on AMD and Intel graphics.

The distro needs to be added to choose from your hardware info.

Over the last 24 hours, I've switched my fleet over to Mint Xfce! Here's how it's looking on my workhorse right now. The current background is Steam Trading Card art from Horizon Chase Turbo.

Thanks very much! It's not too dissimilar to my old Xubuntu setup, but the fresh coat of paint is nice, and due to its day-to-day desktop-user focus, Mint is considerably more polished for that use-case than Xubuntu is. I'm really liking it so far.

You were almost to late for August too.......

Some Placid Plastic Duck Simulator Steam Trading Card art cropped up in the backgrounds rotation over on my GPD Win Max 2021 today.

I added a background for desktop-mode on my Steam Deck.
