@brent the Tullamore based photographer John McCormack is a good friend of mine.
My wife and I met his wife and him in October 2018.

    MintSpider that's incredible. I think early Solus (Ikey?) contracted/contacted him? I do not know the story (would love to know the story) but for Solus wallpapers they used 3-4 of his pics? They were the desktop and isos images on all installs.
    Those still lifes of what my imagination told me were probably an Irish port town were so well done. The ambers, the hues, the compositions. It was a touch of elegance and class I saw in no other distro when I was leaving Windows. I loved the Solus looks, the Irish, the independent but tell your friend it was also these sets of photos, attached to the distro, that probably sealed the deal for me and many other users.
    Thanks for sharing that, Spider.

        brent what can I say, I really like GNOME's workflow 🙂. Budgie is great as well but my heart belongs to GNOME.

          Rebuilding my Solus Plasma install. A carry over I'm going to have from EOS on all distros moving forward for a while is the dark with purple & magenta tones.

          That's a pretty damn nice picture, your wallpaper!
          Where did you get it from? Or do you have a link to it for us?

              presianbg what's the redaction tool you used to smudge your personal data? curious. I've not found an app I really like yet,

                  Oh Korla how I miss you. From the OS I'm at now, this:

                  $ dnf search korla
No matches found.

                  Mohave, if I recall right, was part of some Mac icon emulations, or real mac icons, I forgot. Arc and Plata were always too dark for me so the windows bled into each other. what you have now is the right shade of dark I like-- materia and greybird and other are similar to this black. All looks good.

                      But to extract the most of it, I would recommend having a shortcut like this:

                      paired with advanced clipboard manager as copyq (with shortcuts to access the clipboard entries in a list fashion + preview for images):

                      and OCR shortcut to extract text from images:

                      #!/bin/bash

rpath="/tmp/$RANDOM"
mkdir -p "$rpath"

/usr/bin/xclip -selection clipboard -t image/png -o > "$rpath/out.png"
/usr/bin/tesseract "$rpath/out.png" "$rpath/out"
cat "$rpath/out.txt" | xclip -selection clipboard
rm -rf "$rpath"
notify-send "Clipboard" "Successfully copied OCR output to clipboard"

                      Then you have the perfect setup for taking screenshots, editing/manipulating them on the fly, extracting text from them and saving them for later use.

                      The workflow is just remembering like 3-4 shortcuts 🙂

                      Sorry for the lengthily and detailed answer, but this is a setup I'm really proud of <3

                      PS: nobody asked for the background image, but I think this is something you will like:
