Solaris Desktop Screenshots


Here is a screenshot of my Solaris 11.3 workstation desktop that I use at home. Please post your screenshots here as it will be interesting to see how other peoples desktops look!

I'm afraid you won't find many customized Solaris 11.3 desktops screenshots these days.

Solaris 11 is now much more used as a pure server and often remotely accessed, users main desktop being either Linux, Windows or Mac OS.

I disagree: OpenIndiana (which is - almost - a Solaris 11 distribution) is a good and not really disappeared desktop OS.

Yes, I should have written Oracle Solaris 11. Hipster, Tribblix and others still target desktops but the question was about Solaris 11.3, not OpenSolaris/Illumos derivatives.

Fell free to post screenshots anyway :-)

I prefer my FreeBSD desktops for everyday use and neither are booted up ATM, but here's a shot of my Solaris and OpenIndiana boxen. I like the look of Gnome2 but won't be switching from Fluxbox anytime soon.

I uploaded new wallpapers to my site today, too.

Sure, why not. I'm leaving Linux for BSD and other proper *NIX, so I'm giving OpenIndiana a shot.

Funny you should say that. I tried to install CDE, as it was listed as one of the "zap" packages available in the repos, but alas, it failed.

In the end, there were too many paper cuts to consider using Tribblix seriously, which is a shame, because it was a lot faster on my hardware than OpenIndiana.

Blast from the past, fun with VMs. Check out that Firefox version number!

Yeah, probably my all-time favorite, along with Solaris. That may have been the pinnacle of computing for me, haha.

Somehow, OpenIndiana just isn't the same, but still, there was a new release yesterday (2020.04):
