In summary, the conversation discusses the different desktop backgrounds and conditions of the participants' computers. One has a gaming rig named Clubber Lang with a picture of Mr. T from Rocky III, while the other has a background of stars and nebulae. They also mention the speed and cleanliness of their computers, with one having a chronically sticky mouse and a cluttered Downloads folder.

Maybe your desktop background has some indication of personality as well

I think most would say it does not reflect my personality outside of computer related activities.

Mine is full of pictures of stars and nebula and the background is a 12 cube so I suppose it reflects my love for maths and learning about the universe.

Yup. Always clean. No temporary files, no bunch of startup programs or services slowing me down, no nothing. Very slim and fast. Really clean and pleasant to work with...

Except my Downloads folder. Don't get in there, it's a maze with over 100,000 files (all kind of IDEs with libraries and stuff). You will never get out alive.
