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 😼
@aral@janvhs@dgchrt Please remove me from this thread. I think it would be appropriate to remove @sovtechfund as well. This argument has already been had. I'm already doing what I can, and so is STF. I, for one, don't want the noise of rehashing this argument.
If you use Linux and feel let down by AI taking over your browser and the lack of easy customization options available, Sean Davis @bluesabre tells you why our powerful browser is worth your attention.
Read all about it as Sean explains what it means to be a Chromium browser, shares his favorite features, and talks about our Linux Community and all the wonderful people behind making Vivaldi what it is today. 👇🏻
Small detail about #LocOS you will notice only from a remote session. One core has very high usage for a simple screensaver.
It seems it’s not properly going to sleep afterwards. Maybe some ACPI issue or maybe because it has auto login and no auto lock. It’s a machine intentionally in free access.
I would say XFCE and MATE - the Caja (From MATE) is just so much better for my preferences - but I also use Thunar (from XFCE) for its 'bulk rename' feature :)
Had a 27" 2k IPS panel... then a 32" 4k ultrawide followed....
Now I'm back on a 24" FHD panel.
Why?
I do not need much more. The resolution is totally fine for me.
I rather work with workspaces in #Xfce now than having 100 windows open on one.
Little side effect.
Before my monitor (Both) used about 40W.... now down to 10W
It is truly amazing how much energy one can conserve with making, to me, small changes.
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.
@tulpa Debian 12 with Cinnamon is what I'm currently doing. Cool thing about Debian is that it's easy to try different desktop environments by choosing at the login screen.
@apgarcia I had a problem doing that recently. I had MATE and XFCE installed at the same time, and the MATE components being present seemed to make trouble for XFCE. Specifically, I had theme and sound issues.
