Re: HALO EPISODE 1

I don't agree with you about texting. If someone calls me I have to interrupt whatever I'm doing (albeit, not a lot usually) to answer the damn phone.

Re: WALLPAPER WON'T CHANGE

Is this XFCE4?
Right-click desktop -> Desktop Settings. Select the folder containing the wallpapers you want and *then click one of the image files* - without doing this wallpapers change won't stick.

Re: Void Linux

Like you, I like runit.
I run Void with MATE and find it eminently useable.
