Would you share a screenshot of your Desktop with specs?

There's a FB group titled "Linux Screenshots" and we simply post screenshots of our computer desktop and specs. It's random, but some shots make you wonder how comfortable you'd be in a different desktop environment - XFCE, Cinnamon, GNOME, KDE, etc. Sometimes you learn new programs. Would you like to share yours? That includes Windows, MAC, Phones, and the guy that's going to post a picture of his home or work desk area.

My screenshot is Linux Zorin 9 - 32 bit, htop for system monitor on the left, and screenfetch for specs on the right.

Sharing a screen shot of a desktop with specs does not seem like a great idea SGT Private RallyPoint Member. Screen shot of desktop without specs could be okay though :-)
My desktop operating system is Windows 7 Ultimate. I hate being on the bleeding edge of technology - did it too may times for work :-)

Some of that information I would not be comfortable sharing, my MAC and phone for example, I do not let out of my own network much less will I post them. And telling strangers all of the programs you're running makes you an easier target. Now I know what exploits are most likely to let me into your system.

Hardware stats and is version I would gladly sharen

Why would you do that? Isn't it a security issue for the individual?

Is no one going to point out the fact that there just HAPPENS to be a picture of him working out right in the middle?
