This is Nanpu Bridge, in Guangdong China. I am quite taken by the splash of orange, but would you want to be the electrician who changed all the light bulbs? I think not.

(image of desktop showing orange-lighted bridge at night.)

It's from my Linux Mint 20.1 'Ulyssa' Cinnamon.

It uses LEDs. They never need replacement.

Say hello to Ezio the cat. He belongs to one of our Members. Or, knowing cats as I do, more likely Ezio believes the Member belongs to him.

Ezio is on my Grub Menu for Ubuntu 24.04 LTS Cinnamon I installed a couple of days ago.

Well, here's my current "dressed-up" Grub4DOS menu for the kennels on the big HP desktop rig:-

Sorry for the crappy picture quality; this was my third attempt after the images on the phone's MicroSD card decided to temporarily go AWOL.

(I absolutely loathe doing screenies from a mobile phone!)

This is one of a small selection of boot menu backdrops provided by Puppy Forum member 'amethyst'......in .xpm format, 'cos that's all Grub4DOS will accept. Originally it was royal blue......but I modified it with MooiTech's PhotoScape (which I run under WINE), 'cos I prefer red.

Good, innit?


Mike.

I used Porteus a number of years ago, quite liked it.

This from my MakuluLinux LinDoz, installed yesterday, uses one of their default wallpapers

I took a short break from Cyberpunk 2077 and set up a small learning project for myself, setting up a custom GRUB theme, and to set up Plymouth, as well as a custom theme for Plymouth ... success!

Edit: I have now also figured out the cause of cold boots taking an abnormally long amount of time, I replicated the RAM's XMP profile's settings manually via the BIOS and now it is much faster.

@Zev if you could share the actual wallpaper that lies behind the arrowed selection, that would be legend. I could use it for one of my grub menus on a newly installed distro.

TIA

It would be my pleasure, here you go! Here is a link to the artist's Gallery on DeviantART too, they have many similarly high-quality wallpapers available!
