Slackware64 15.0. The theme: Breeze dark and Oxygen with defaults. The wallpaper is too large to upload to LQ- it can be found here: https://imgur.com/a/KAwTVg9
The black version of the wallpaper has the background set to be black within the KDE wallpaper utility. The actual wallpaper is slightly transparent, as you can see in the second screen shot- I used blue as the background color (#0266be with positioning set to "scaled, keep proportions").
Besides looking cool I have to ask two things...
1) 32 cores and 16GB RAM? What workloads is this designed for?
2) Is this some Frankenstein Beowulf cluster or did you actually find a motherboard that supports 8 mobile CPUs?

Regardless, awesome job. Kudos!
It has 4 cores with 2 threads each. It is a ZaReason Strata 7440 laptop with an upgraded Intel i7 4810MQ. ZaReason went out of business during the pandemic. I wish it were a Frankenstein Beowulf cluster- it would be more interesting.
Just my current wallpaper
the actual web app this is all about is on this link - and it is very very pre-alpha stage written in haxe and ceramic
What it has to do with Slackware? well my part (so far a 2 man team effort) was entirely coded on Slackware and run for testing - the other member is using his Mac laptop and sometimes Fedora...
No windows was used for developing this so far, except X11

Ooops! My bad. I didn't realize "System Settings > About This System" reported that way, reporting all cores and threads. To me it looked like you had 8xIntel i7 CPUs! Heheh. That would be a pretty amazing beast
There has been a healthy misunderstanding sir. That wallpaper is indeed just a wallpaper. I just naively thought you were asking if that desktop is my default 'home'.
