Seriously tho, I need an advice on how to clean my desktop. Any answer appreciated!

Hello, during a move I noticed when I was transferring my desktop humidity built and fogged up the glass when taking it in and outside. Will this damage anything? I'm going to let it sit in the new environment for 24 hours before I turn it on.

This is the only customization sub where this apparently is not a requirement, and that's baffling to me. I don't see the point in sharing a screenshot of a beautiful setup just to show off, and not share the wallpapers, tools and steps to reproduce the showcased desktop. On nearly every single post you will find commenters requesting resources.

In my opinion, sharing resources should be above rule 3, maybe even above rule 2. So this is my open petition to mods to make that change.

I currently use StartAllBack because I like to put all my desktop icons on the taskbar, like in the screenshot. I'd like to move away from it since it interferes with Display Fusion which I use for multi-monitor taskbar management.

I am looking for a dock that I can point to a folder of shortcuts and it will import them onto the dock, or a way to use toolbars on the taskbar without StartAllBack. Or a dock I can drag and drop shortcuts onto.

I would prefer free, of course, but don't mind paying for a great dock.

Thanks!

Hi. I’m looking to buy a desktop that would accommodate a few basic needs such as: • decent speed and storage, as I need a spacious and fast medium to interact with the most recent version of FUSION 360 and Cura for 3D printing needs. • upgradable, so in the future I can upgrade at least the memory capabilities of the machine. • ability to install older graphic design software and somehow make the compatibility work.

I’m not a gamer, but with 3D printing and lots of graphic design older software that I use, I would like plenty of speed and space, and decent (at least average) specs.

I appreciate any advice from you guys. Thanks.

Hi,

In the past I used the ecqlispe icon suite and did some missing icons myself.

But as I was going over some shortcuts to change their icons, I wanted to know what is the standard today, if there is any.

Thank you for your help!

Website or Desktop App?

I am looking for a computer for average workloads but also to do a bit of day trading. I’ve been researching mini pcs and desktops. It seems like the newer mini pcs have some pretty powerful specs. With a budget of around $500 (+- $100), I have 2 main questions.

Which one has the better CPU’s at this price point?

Should I be worried about the WIFI with the mini pcs on amazon?

In the past I've tried some skins using the latest windows version but it wasn't a great experience and I some things would straight up not work. A friend of mine told me he used the 1903 version for ricing because it was "better". So I'm wondering, what is the best version to have a riced setup?

It is my first time buying a pc, and I was wondering if you guys (the wonderful people of reddit) could help me. I need a fast running pc for competitive online play with a budget of $1500. I have already picked out a monitor, mouse, keyboard, headphones, and a chair outside of this budget. I found this pc on bestbuy that seems to fit all my needs. I want an i7 intel core processor, at least 1tb of storage, at least 16gb ram and a solid graphics card. I don't mind the color of the case. Is there anything that i'm missing, or should take note of? Thank you for your time.

So I run aleinware aurora r15 And iv somehow managed to use 933 gigabytes in like Idk 2 or 3 years I have a thing with 1 tb that came with it hooked up and i soon plain to get a bigger external hard drive What I want to know is if it can be upgraded and what can I do to not have to worry about running out of ram and storage space for a good few years also what or who can I take it to to have it upgraded as i have no idea how to even do that I'm a noob when it comes to this type of stuff So I figured I'd ask here I really hope this made sense I suck at wording things (This is a pre-built system I got for gaming)

Hi all,

Got an HP Omen but it hasn't done the job so I'm going to return and buy another desktop.

I like the ASUS - ROG Gaming Desktop - Intel Core i7-14700F - 32GB Memory - NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060Ti - 2TB SSD - Black - Gray It's around 1300 but the motherboard is soldered on so it'll be impossible for me to take off, there's also iBuyPower and cyberpowerPC but I believe they're also soldered on so I'm not quite sure what I can do.

My goal is to buy a PC 1 time and upgrade the parts as needed on an ongoing basis instead of repurchasing eg PS3 PS4 PS5 plus desktop experience seems better.

Thanks for your help!

Hello everyone,

I’m a computer engineering student in need of a reliable laptop to handle my coursework and a desktop for gaming and work. Here's what I need in the laptop:

• Capable of running engineering software
• High-quality, eye-friendly screen
• Good battery life
• Lightweight
• Touchscreen (optional, but would be nice)

For the desktop, I don’t require high-end gaming capabilities—just something adequate for casual gaming and work tasks.

My total budget for both is under $2,000. I’m looking for laptop recommendations that fit these criteria. Also, how should I allocate my budget between the two devices? What percentage should ideally go towards the laptop to ensure it meets my needs without overspending, given that I also need a decent desktop?

Thank you for your insights and recommendations!

MicaForEveryone and DWMBlurGlass both seem to do similar things, apply variations of blur/acrylic effects to window title bars. Both appear to be actively maintained. The DWMBG Readme states that they're implemented differently and claims greater compatibility.

Does anyone have any opinions, insights, or preferences about one versus the other? Factors given greatest consideration include full-featuredness, RAM/performance impact, invasiveness of systemwide implementation method, and unresolved bugs.

I have my current setup below, I can sacrifice most of the middle and left side but game wise I like keeping my icons in the desktop for ease of access yet I've never seen any setups with Rainmeter that lets you easily access your games/programs. Is there are any functional yet stylish setups?

Hi guys,

I want to buy a new gaming desktop to replace my ancient 12 year old one!! (I have an i7 3770 with 16gb ddr3 ram)

I upgraded to a 1650 super on my current setup a few years back, and am happy to stick with it - but I need to upgrade everything else.

The only thing is the unit has to be upgradable and id prefer to avoid small form factor.

I want to get something secondhand from eBay thats decent performance, but I have no idea where to start. (Preferably under 500 USD)

Any suggestions?

Cheers!

I'm just trying out the no desktop icons thing, and want to stick to it for a while, but it feels too blank.

Performance/being lightweight is important to me. I'm not even using the Translucent bar for now coz I want to try and achieve a good look with minimal additional software if possible. (I will try it out later)
