it's really bad
i think we broke the mods
>>54317748
well they delete all threads with anime and only anime in the OP
as much as I'm all for qts I wish this dude would stop not using desktops, I'd rather not have threads deleted randomly

episode 4 of pan de peace was really good. So I think 2 and 3 just fell off a little bit. "i like"
>>54317824
I've been wondering about this for a while, do people normally always have their screen divided into multiple windows? I usually do everything in fullscreen.
>>54317867
so you can shitpost on gook toon boards while typing 'screenfetch' into your riced out terminal
>>54317867
I did everything fullscreen for a long time, but broke the habit as screens got larger + higher resolution. It just doesn't make sense to have a browser 2560px across, and using it like this is basically equivalent to having two monitors/workspaces.
Of course, now that i'm used to doing that, i do it on my 1366x768 screen as well. But to answer your question, I think it's more "normal" to work with single windows full-screened, since that's what I see most people doing IRL.
First time using something Arch based
Installed it on an impulse since it went with some documentation I was following
I don't care too much for pacman or systemd

>>54318910
" the IIAF narrowed its choice between the F-14 Tomcat or the McDonnell Douglas F-15 Eagle. Grumman Corporation arranged a competitive demonstration of the Eagle against the Tomcat before the Shah, and in January 1974, Iran ordered 30 F-14s and 424 AIM-54 Phoenix missiles, initiating Project Persian King, worth US$300 million. A few months later, this order was increased to a total of 80 Tomcats and 714 Phoenix missiles as well as spare parts and replacement engines for 10 years, complete armament package, and support infrastructure (including construction of the Khatami Air Base near Esfahan)."

dont take hell lightly anon. heaven and hell are real and hell is not the awesome place which media has brainwashed into people's minds. Hell is a place of eternal suffering and your 'hail satan' wouldn't mean a thing there. You would think by praising him now you would be held high in hell but no dear anon its all part of the devil's plan to get people there. Once you're there there are no second chances. Think about it anon why would someone choose eternal suffering when's there's clearly a much better alternative? I know you believe in Heaven and God because it wouldn't make sense if you didn't. Nothing is evil unless there's good. There's no hell without heaven.
nice desktop besides the devil stuff. Don't be this way because of the media. Don't blindly follow ways because they seem cool or to fit in. Try to understand the deeper meaning behind all these

Why not get notified when you receive a message on IRC, and then bring the window into front? Do you really need to see your playlist all the time? You're just wasting screen estate desu
>>54320647
not him, but generally IRC is active in discussion while you're there. So you'd want the window up to contribute to a group conversation.
>>54320667
You already have to switch to the IRC window in order to reply, so why not keep it hidden? I use hexchat, and have taskbar notify on channels that I care about, so I can join the discussion without having to have my client on the screen all the time.
>>54320741
why do you care so much about how someone else uses their computer
>>54320749
I'm just exercising my freedom to comment on things. I'm not mandating how he uses his computer.

You can just minimize the window, and then bring it back up when you there's a new message.
>>54321103

>>54321103
Jesus christ man, your reading comprehension really needs some work
_active_ conversation, key word active yeah? In a conversation in an IRC chat of more than a few people there can be messages every few seconds. Of course if you want to chat and have some bants you'd keep the window up, have you ever had a conversation before?
>>54320982

>>54321213
>the floating panel meme
Yo
>>54321222
No. Why on earth would you think that? Good lord man
What I'm saying is the reason people keep IRC up in one window is to monitor discussions and see new messages instantly or during heavy conversations, or to see when people log in or out. He didn't say or imply he had IRC up 24/7, neither did I. What's wrong with you?
>>54321229
I don't actually like my panel desu (not because it's floating although that does seem to trigger others), I might just go panelless or use widgets like this. (Although he also had some kind of panel at the top).
>>54321255
or you could stop copying bad reddit 'tops
>>54321255
>I don't actually like my panel desu
so why are you using it??
>>54321267
This is from deviantart though :^) and my desktop is basically copied of onodera who posts here.
>>54321272
Can't think of anything better, too lazy to change etc.
>>54321282
onodera is a redditor, him posting here doesn't change that (his desktop is super lame too)
>>54321282
>and my desktop is basically copied of onodera who posts here

>>54318228
how do you even do anything
>>54321252
There's nothing wrong with me you fucking retard, you're acting as if I'm stating something completely controversial or something so absurd that you cannot possibly make any sense of it. Have you even looked at the screenshot which I replied to? The last message he received was 8 minutes ago(which just said "hi"), hardly "active".
It's not like that post is just an exception. I've seen lots of screenshots where the IRC window was pointlessly up since the last message was more than 2 minutes ago, and I'm obviously referring to those screenshots.
Summer is early this year.
>>54321392
>tor
>osx
>>54321530
And if he's monitoring people logging in and out without the constant notification spam? Of course what you're saying is completely subjective desu, I like to have my IRC chats open in one window and my browser in another. You like to minimize it. That's viable personal preference.
>>54320647
Yer I see where you are coming from, but like >>54320667 said IRC can be active and it's my personal preference to have it open.
With ncmpcpp, I am downloading new music on almost a daily basis so I like to keep an eye on what's playing without having to switch window.
>>54321103
That sounds hectic, like switching window everytime someone says something would be a lot of work. Way easier to just have it open and keep an eye on it. Chip in as and when you want.
>>54321222
Not 24/7, but when I am I keep the window open.
i want to change this but every time i try i fuck it uṕ, any suggest? i already tried gnome but it is so ordinary i just want some simple

>>54321878
You knew what he meant as well
>>54321901
no, actually I didn't. I just had to make the large assumption that by "how do it" he means "how do I make a desktop like yours". That's largely up to the reader to put the pieces together with using context. My failure to put a capital letter as the start of my sentence or a period at the end leaves nothing up to the reader to assume.
