"Linux with an extra 32 bits" wallpaper

I made this for myself, as there seem to be no shortage of wallpapers proclaiming what distro you use, but not many for your CPU architecture.

Re: "Linux with an extra 32 bits" wallpaper

This reminds me of a question I ask myself a lot: does a 64 bit version of Windows even exist?


What does not kill you will hurt a lot.

There is a 64-bit version of Vista, not sure about XP.

There is a 64-bit XP as well, but from what i hear, 64-bit Windows is VERY buggy (not like on linux where only a few things like Skype, Flash and Sun's Java don't work under 64-bit)

I had a 64 bit version of XP. It was sometimes hard to find compatable drivers for it, since it's not used very often.

XP64 was a port of Windows to cater to users

Vista 64 is properly built around the 64bit architecture


Vista 64 runs great do far, much better than Vista32

XP x64 runs better than 32bit XP.

Not that that is saying much.

Nice wallpaper, very clean and minimal.
Mind sharing how you did the mirroring of the text?

I used to use x64 and it ran fine except for the lack of drivers.

I selected all of the text, made a new layer, and filled the selection with a gradient of black fading to transparent. I then flipped the layer vertically, moved it where I wanted, and lowered the opacity.
