@mike wow, can't believe you actually had a screenshot of your 10 year ago desktop.

@mike I'm curious to see if I can find any of my screenshots c. 2007-2009. I used to post them online frequently but I also deleted some of those online accounts.

@mike I wish I made screenshots of my systems, they would be radically different today, then 10 or 15 years ago.

@parasurv @mike yeah I was thinking exactly the same. I actually only started keeping screenshots 6 years ago. Mostly because it was the only form of documentation at $new_ork a fact which I really hated at the time.

@fedops I actually have some that are much older. I didn't take screen shots that often then and I didn't keep them all unfortunately, so the selection is pretty sparse.@parasurv

@s0lution I have some that are significantly older, like this one:https://cdn.fosstodon.org/media_attachments/files/000/548/142/original/c402b7952201b653.jpegMost of the ones I have are pretty recent though.

@Cambria If I remember correctly, it's Mint with Gnome3 (pre-Cinnamon days).

@mike and yes I was able to find my old desktop from 2007. My, how icons have changed over the years. No overly simplified circles to denote each application. Sorry for the low resolution.

@sf I posted this one before, but I can't really remember when I made it. A long time ago.https://cdn.fosstodon.org/media_attachments/files/000/548/142/original/c402b7952201b653.jpeg

@mike @parasurv I sometimes think it would be nest to recreate the desktops of old. A lot of that stuff is still around, like CDE or OpenStep, or even OpenWindows and twm (Tom's Window Manager, 33 years of development!).

@mike I was still using windows when computers looked like this. Reminds me of windows 95 quite a bit.

@mike Mine would look exactly the same, indeed Its looked exactly the same since 2007ish. DWM with no background or widgets. I love black screens covered in windows of text.#dwm #dwm4life

@mike I love how your 10-year-old wallpaper was a Skyrim logo. Because I can't believe Skyrim is that old now.

@tulpa Oh yea, though it was pretty new at the time if I remember correctly. I still play that game on occasion!

@mikeI like the #allblack vives of the 2012 one 😋. Also, more screen real state
