While I am contemplating dual booting with #Linux again here are some of my old desktops. Because as we all know showing your desktop screenshots of Linux is mandatory on all social networks.
Omg #KDE is soooo good. If their design philosophy was a bit more #GNOME or Apple like, I would literally switch. But I love my Berlin Gnomies, so running both it is.
Btw, I started to rework the Gnome pattern on openSUSE Tumbleweed in my free time and really reference #Aeon :D
My main problem with KDE is QT, because it’s so Cpp heavy and hard to integrate with other languages, unlike GTK. Maybe #XFCE could be interesting for me, now that they have a Wayland story and I learned about XApps 😼

I use three monitors at work and now use two at home... which in itself is great.
But there is something that nags me.
When dealing with a multi monitor setup I tend to switch my focus too often between monitors. I ask myself if that is the way to go.
Thinking about rather using one and handling all the windows in different #Xfce workspaces - since switching is easy via keyboard.
Maybe this is just me... but I kinda feel a little disorganized - if that makes sense.
A very nice launcher (and much more) is rofi.
I use it with #Xfce to quickly run a application. It is easy to use and the defaults are sane.
Bin it to a keyboard shortcut of your liking and it will be your best buddy soon 😎
I spent a good chunk of the day slimming down my Debian install on the #MangoPiQuad. I moved from (and uninstalled) #XFCE to #OpenBox. I wholesale uninstalled many preinstalled apps (such as Libre Office, Emacs, Bluez, and much, much more).
I installed #CairoDock and #Nitrogen I gotta say, it is running smooth. I am even able to run #MinecraftPiReborn with out maxing out the CPU or RAM!
I love the bing daily wallpapers, I especially love that they seem to always have a related wallpaper if it's a UN recognised 'day'. For example, today is Bee Day!
if you install #Debian with #XFCE, you get the xfce4-goodies package, which means you get xfburn. LOL, CD burning. I don't even have an optical drive in this machine.
I think maybe #Debian 12 with #XFCE is literally perfect for me. And that's without doing anything in terminals, only clicking around in GUI settings. I didn't even have to install any additional packages.

Spent the day installing #Mint#XFce to an old Acer #laptop of my sister in law's brother (I've converted everyone to #Linux in the family). Acer's firmware was very buggy, so it took tricks to load grub.
Installed them a few apps, and they will be super happy with their new (old) laptop. Previously, #Windows 10 was dying on that laptop, it was that slow, as it was swapping furiously! Mint loaded in about 1 minute, which is good (considering the very slow hdd).
It looks like I might be a bit of a #GTK fan boy. Looking at my #linux devices that run a DE, all of them are GTK based (#Gnome, #Cinnamon, and #XFCE).
On #Debian 11, the whole system along with #XFce was taking 500 MB of RAM. On Debian 12, the system takes 850 MB of RAM. On Trixie/Sid-unstable, it takes 1.3 GB. I honestly don't know what they're shoving in it.
With #Cinnamon and #Gnome, it takes 1.6 GB on idle. Since when Cinnamon, a gnome2/gtk3 fork takes (or should take) as much RAM as Gnome4/gtk4? Something's amiss.
So I found myself in a weird predicament. I had some older laptops that I converted to #Debian & #XFce with a bunch of added apps and games. I gave some to my family, and the rest I wanted to give them to kids for school. I asked around. Well, no one seems to want them. No one is using computers anymore in #Greece it seems, they only use #smartphones. They barely browse the web too (just some gov sites). They just use #tiktok and few apps, consoles for games. That's it.
Salut, j'aimerai bien afficher dans ma barre des tâches la température de mon pc. Je suis sous debian 12. J'ai déjà le visionneur de capteur installé mais j'aimerai l'avoir affiché quelque part en permanence.
Quelqu'un une idée #debian#linux#xfce
