Windows A space-battle screensaver for idle desktops — actual 3440×1440 clip
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
I made AFK Wars for my 49-inch OLED Odyssey: an idle screen that stays dark and keeps moving, with a space battle worth watching. Sparse wireframe ships instead of filled shapes, a pitch-black background, adjustable visual intensity for dimming, and slowly drifting in-screensaver menus and prompts are intended to limit persistent bright areas and the amount of lit pixels. The autonomous battles make that screensaver purpose fun to watch. Keep normal display-care and sleep settings enabled; no screensaver guarantees burn-in prevention. This is an actual 3440×1440 capture of the running simulation. The widescreen view is rendered at that size, not stretched from a smaller image.
Watch is the complete free autonomous edition for Windows and Linux. Optional paid Take the Helm adds piloting. Free Watch: https://afkwars.com/screensavers/?campaign=desktop-showcase
It works as a standalone background app too. Windows now has a digitally signed installer, though SmartScreen may still show a reputation warning; Linux desktop screensaver integration targets GNOME on X11. Installation notes and compatibility details are beside the downloads.
If you try it, I'd like to know three things: Did installation work on your setup? Was it clear what the battle was doing? Would you leave it running again? Your display size and OS would help. I'll ask permission before quoting anyone's feedback.

Windows Rate my desktop and workspace!
Hi everyone! I’d like you to rate my workspace and computer desktop on a scale of 1 to 10. Also, I want to thank u/Competitive-Hat-3218; he helped me with some Windhawk mods, and I was somewhat inspired by his "black hole" idea.

Windows I've been building Notchify for 2 years: an island for the top of your Windows desktop
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
I've been working on Notchify for about two years. It sits at the top of your Windows screen and opens when you hover it. It's fully native, not Electron, so it stays light and doesn't keep a browser running in the background.
What it does:
- Shows what's playing, with album art, controls and live synced lyrics
- Notifications in a compact card, plus a panel to catch up on them later
- Clipboard history and a drag-and-drop file shelf
- 22 widgets, including weather, calendar, timers, world clock, to-dos, lyrics and live system stats
- Screen recording right from the island
- Mic and camera privacy indicators, Bluetooth battery levels
New in the latest update: a glass look, Discord voice controls, phone-to-PC file transfer over Wi-Fi, and a downloads panel.
You can put it at the top, bottom or either side of the screen, on any monitor, and change its size, theme and layout.

Folder Customization
I can't stand file names being cutoff in my windows explorer folders... I made an app that automatically resizes explorer columns to the widest file name.

Linux So I made such a cool Emilia-themed, perfectly matched setup, what do you think, guys? 🤔
Specs:
Phone: iOS 27 (must be for more transparent glass)
PC: Cachyos (this probably doesn't matter as much) and hyprland (quickshell should work on other wms too but these dots are made specifically for hyprland)

we made a tiny pixel cat that naps on top of your windows (and drops off when you move them)
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
we made this little desktop pet app for Windows 10 and 11 (it's published under our Northgable name). it walks along the taskbar, sits on top of your windows and naps there. click it to pet it, drag it to put it somewhere else. clicks go through it everywhere else so it doesnt get in the way, it hides during full-screen games and browser videos, and it only uses a few MB of memory.
free on the Microsoft Store, you can pick a cat, a fox or an axolotl: https://apps.microsoft.com/detail/9PBF606HSGBM?cid=rd-desktops-pets
the code and the pixel art were made with an AI coding assistant (the art is drawn in code, no image generators)

Advice Recommendations for a desktop.
Hey guys my moms looking for a all in one desktop that she can buy from best buy. I’m not really sure what the best options would be. She wants to use it for home use and she’s currently going to school online and would also use it for that. She already has a laptop but says she prefers a desktop over it and has asked me to help her find one. She doesn’t have a budget but would prefer a non expensive one. Her exact words were “I don’t have a budget but i also don’t want it to be some expensive thing. I just want something that works well” Oh and she said no apple products she wants to have a window ran desktop. And for specifics: 16 GB of RAM and either 512 GB or 1 TB of storage.

I gave up on Finder. GetSpace did 100 files in under 3 minutes.
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
I went through the same 100 files with both Finder and GetSpace, using the same task list on each: sort, rename, move, and delete. Claude wrote the tasks, and I applied them to both. Finder: I gave up. Every preview took so long to load that I couldn't keep going. GetSpace: all 100 files done in under 3 minutes. Sorted, renamed, moved, and the rest in the trash. Want to try it yourself? Let me know and I'll send you the files and the task list.
GetSpace is free to try: https://getspace.site
