You mean the Win98 default background.Mine's an easy on the eyes plain-green field with the 'My Computer' and 'Recycle Bin' icons - the two I can't delete.Fancy image desktop eats resources to display. My rig's lean and mean and optimized for max perofrmance. A vital necessity being almost 16 years old with 18 year old tech.
Pretty, right? 
Where? Previous Windows versions? Meanwhile, isn´t the following desktop a non-profit attack on the pure evil Microsoft monopole?[/irony]
This reminds me of an old commercial.
You're feelings got hurt, again. A non-profit attack, wow. You must be making money keeping MS bloatware running.
Using this "bloatware", I can download programs and install them from the disk. What about your free app manager?
Sounds like 80s technology to me. I press the button on the app I want and it's all automatic. The Cairo dock has a popup that asks if I want to run it. Click Ok and it opens, nothing to dick around with.
A nice thing but when it is the only source for the normal user, it turns out to be a bottleneck. Why are installers so rare?
What the fuck is wrong with you? There's no bottleneck. You have no clue and have to constantly make shit up for some reason.
Just because it is enough for you, that doesn´t mean your babyLinux isn´t dependent on its umbilical cord that limits the availability of programs as unnecessary side effect. No to talk about the Windows programs...
That continues your irrational theme. Mint 17.1 is my main distro now, and baby sized it isn't. There are distros in the 250meg range. Your assertion that Linux programs being the only ones native to the Linux OS is some kind of bottleneck or limitation is like saying the Mac is limited because it only runs Mac software natively.
You got me wrong. I said that the app manager is the only way to get apps. It is like the Play Store for Android but you can easily download apk files and install them just like exe files on Windows PCs. On PC-Linux, installers are rare. I downloaded the Nvidia drivers for Linux but do you believe Linux could do anything with that file type???
Yes, I've done in manually. Depends on the distro you're using. The Ubuntu/offshoots have the installer run automatically. You can use either the software manager or Synaptic package manager for more advanced options. Those happen with a click and the managers handle the rest. Also the hardware manager does the same. I install the nVidia driver by clicking the one I want, there's usually 5 or 6 options with one being recommended for the kernel.
ME? Sure?Here is mine
