very good looking but also very autistic

good composition. this is blurred+transparent windows done right. So fucking tired of all screenshots where much blur menas i can have more transparency. That's how 2018, the worst year in desktop customization, will be remembered, blurry and lame. Personally i would sacrifice padding for fontsize, but that's because i am old and poor. 8/10

Please dump wallpapers similar to OP's? I want something cyberpunky and comfy and slightly anime-related if possible

I got sick of Chrome dropping frames on Netflix playback. Using Firefox from today, incredible the lag being dealt with on Chrome.

Thinking about replacing my X220 with this. It’s unironically cheaper than getting a new battery where I’m at and has a god-tier screen. It’s also ARM and runs (presumably blobby) Coreboot which is cool.

Change my mind.

man these threads usually suck but this one is the worst in a while

Lenovo fucking suck. My new T480 literally feels like a piece of junk. When it arrived I had to unstick a bunch of keys. Hardware support in linux is trailing as well. The battery has already lost 10% capacity. Fuck lenovo. It all just cheap chinese crap like all the other piece of shit brands, so stop doing adverts for them useful idiot.

Why did you buy a $200 ring?

Sure, it's one of the many great wallpapers that comes with solus budgie.

i dont know
impulse buying

You could've bought a Thinkpad, m8. I hope it was worth it.

That's actually one of the GNOME project wallpapers. But Budgie indeed has it's own good set of wallpapers.

Is that the only reason?

For me it is. Modern Thinkpad keyboards are just about indistinguishable from other name brand alternatives. Leshito leaves me with no incentive to buy one. But if you really want it, go for it.
