Holy cow! After much tinkering I finally got #PostmarketOS installed on my Amazon Fire tablet. I got it working with #LXQt but now I’m trying again with #KDE to see if I can get that working.
Finally consolidated my notes on things I've done to get the #PineTab2 working (mostly) the way I want it to. Some gathered from the forums, some that I noticed and/or figured out myself.
If you ever wanted to know more about the History of LXDE and LXQt (the Desktop Environment which we use in SpaceFun) listen to the new Episode of Linux User Space: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y8_rMTmnIXc
LXQt 2.0 : tout ce qu’il faut savoir sur votre nouvel environnement de bureau Linux.
LXQt reste un excellent choix pour les utilisateurs qui recherchent un environnement de bureau léger, rapide, personnalisable et compatible avec la plupart des distributions Linux.
Woo, new adventure today. I got a wild hair, and decided to try and package a workable LXQt-Wayland for openSUSE, using labwc as the compositor. So far I can get the compositor to start? So that's progress, I suppose. Using the work done at https://github.com/stefonarch/LXQt-Wayland-files to see if I can't get something working....
An Unabashed Geek at that. As much as I like the way Apple looks and feels, I detest that you are locked into it. The same goes for Windoze.
With GNU/Linux you have multiple #Desktops. #Gnome is probably the most popular (but please for Gawd's sakes don't quote me). Then there's #KDE (which makes me think of Windoze). Then #Mate, #Cinnamon, #Budgie, #LXQt, #Deepin. These are just a few. Each has it's own pros and cons (LXQt is extremely light on resources but not very customisable). Deepin has incredible graphics and animations, but is extremely resource hungry. Mate uses Gnome 2 (because the author hated Gnome 3). etc etc etc...
Looks like #openSUSE#Leap 15.6 will include #LXQt 1.4, for those of you that use LXQt. All of my submissions to Leap:15.6:Backports got accepted by the Leap team.
(Just so folks are aware, 15.5 still ships LXQt 1.2, Nature of a "stable" release, I suppose)

Quite enjoying Ubuntu Budgie. Seems to be a little lighter than stock Ubuntu and with fewer issues? I don't know. I did a full install instead of upgrading in place. Luckily the laptop doesn't hold a lot of files.
I have settled in nicely to Plasma for my work machine. The project has matured a LOT in the last couple of years, and I can't help but shake my imaginary rhetorical pom-poms at their success.
On my home machine, it's almost always tiling window managers. I just love the clean, pseudo sci-fi look and incredible efficiency.
Seems to work fine with LXQT, couldn't get enlightenment to work, apparently the current version in pkgsrc is rather old as well.
So I'll run this for now and have a second laptop just in case with #NetBSD#BSD#Linux#OpenSource#LXQT
Initial poking at putting together an LXQt-Wayland desktop for openSUSE (mastodon.naturalorder.me)
