For some reason, people like to show off their mostly-samey linux desktops.

Here's mine.

Do you experience any stability issues running your CPU at damn dear 6 GHz??

8 core 5.9ghz... what do you run with that?

That's like an Enterprise server?

I dunno about the rest of us but that
@ 5.9
looks sick as fuck

I see your name @Root 👀

Holy shit that is a processor. Please share more details

I don't know if I could work with that colour scheme all the time, but it does look great!

4.9.0, eh?

Do you use root as you primary user, or have you done some shenanigans?

Never heard of that terminal.. At first glance it looked like cool-retro-term

He runs Java.

I love the way the thing glows because you took a picture of it...

.

@AlgoRythm with a 970 😂

@tacyarg It still runs pretty well, especially if you play more indie games than AAA.

can you at least clean your lens?
Cringe.

@epse it's not a terminal, similar to other parts of that it is a custom output from e.g. neofetch - merely a joke I assume, because run-parts is used to run crons on e.g. alpine placed in /etc/periodic/..

@JoshBent yeah I thought I had seen that name before... Interesting

@tacyarg My 750 Ti works just fine, thank you. I may not get the prettiest everything, but it does what I need it to.

It’s glowing I love it

@AlgoRythm It's a nice overclock; no instability whatsoever! Neofetch is seeing the boost, though, not the base. I never bothered to "fix" this because it makes me grin every time I see it. Totally made me want to share.

@markie-tee @Haxk20 It's my vanilla debian box at home, and I haven't touched it in forever. It's quite dated for both reasons.

@jesustricks @010001111 I can't easily take a screenshot of tty1. Also, my phone's camera lens is cracked, making everything blurry/bloomy. Best I could manage without undue effort.

@JoshBent @epse No custom output here, apart from the colors. I have neofetch run in the init scripts, which are run via run-parts. @ScriptCoded @JoshBent This is also why my username is listed as root: neofetch is actually being run by root. I use my real name as my username, which is why this is such a closeup photo.

@jespersh My cpu always boosts/turbos during system init, which is when the cpu benchmark happens. So you're not seeing the base clockspeed here. I can't remember the base speed (4.2?); it's been too long since I've looked at it. Still a very nice overclock. Very zoomy, and no instability at all :>

@billgates Honestly? I just got tired of long compile times killing my zone. My girlfriend's dad loves overclocking, so we worked together on this. It's much faster now, especially for such dated hardware!

@tacyarg Yep. Dated cpu, dated gpu, dated ram. I haven't upgraded anything inside in years. The cpu is technically a upgrade (lateralgrade?) from my previous Phenom II. I needed a new mobo to get wifi working (Thanks, Debian.) and the only other board in the house was an intel board. Normally I would never. But after some tinkering I'm pretty happy with it

@Jilano My system runs most games amazingly well, even some of the new titles. I'm kind of amazed since its components are so dated. I just don't get to anymore :<

@jespersh It's amusing because the first entry in your screenie shows my same cpu @5.9ghz base 😋

@root @jespersh the third one turbos at 28 million GHz so I'm not so sure about his source.

@Root Okey, makes sense :) That's one hell of a reply btw 🙈

@AlgoRythm omg I totally missed that! Hahaha

@Root Same! Really happy about that investment! Hopefully the next one will last as long (still wondering on which side I'll go, though).

@AlgoRythm "If your CPU is not running at least at 28M GHz, are you even overclocking?"

@Root "I have neofetch run in the init scripts, which are run via run-parts. [...] neofetch is actually being run by root"

Why would you run it via init script? I get that you are running it as root to mask your real username though I guess (you can btw just toggle it iirc via flag anyway).

@JoshBent So I see it on my first login? Duh.

@Root lol what the fuck

You call a gtx 970 dated?

I run a gtx 650 2gb. That's dated x3 then...

@JoshBent I like seeing it. /shrug

@Root well, I think it would look cool too when booting up. can I see how you do it?

@jesustricks Sure, if I remember tonight.

@jesustricks
I'm using debian, so your setup may differ. I added the following lines to /etc/update-motd.d/00-header

#!/bin/bash
neofetch --colors 5 6 6 5 2 6

So it's at the top of my system's message of the day.

Good color mix.

You have very similar hardware to mine, but your color scheme is on point. Gonna snatch that right up

5.9 Ghz wow

Right after you posted that, did agent smith jump out of the screen, swinging karate chops your way?

And do you know kung-fu?

@root what do you use Linux for?

@cervantes01 At home? Basically nothing. I don't have time anymore.

Before: dev work and gaming.
