going down the rabbit hole of syntax highlighting.. ..i made a Mousepad text editor generic-config.lang syntax plugin for highlighting files not supported by other syntax plugins, like i3/conf, i3status.conf, dunstrc, and other conf/config-type files.. ..i also made an xresources.lang syntax plugin for highlighting Xresources/Xdefaults files
There are many government PCs out there that have 4 GB of RAM and won't run Win10 well anymore due to it requiring 3.2GB of RAM for itself on a clean boot (plus ~1.5 GB of Chrome + MS Office on top of that).
If only someone could convince them to just install #Debian and #XFce on them (750 MB of RAM needed on a clean boot), it'd be a good way to save our smelly landfills from abandoned computers. #Chrome + MS #Office on top of XFce would barely touch the 2 GB mark.
As we all know, Ultramarine 40 will be coming very soon, including the new XFCE Edition! So, we would like to collect some ideas for the theming and layout from our fellow users :3
If you have any ideas, recommendations, comments for how the new XFCE Edition should look like, let us know in the replies to this post, or with #UltramarineXFCE
If you have recommendations for other editions too, you can always let us know with #UltramarineLinux or by pinging us :p
So, since KDE is planning to abandon X11 one day² and Wayland feels sluggish on my 2013 laptop, I've been looking for alternatives which fully embrace X11.
And now I'm really REALLY itching to try out Xfce4 with that Windows XP total conversion pack¹.
That, or I just wait for the Wayland implementation of Plasma/KWin to get optimised. They are working on it, apparently.
Hé, mais j’avais pas vu que le widget météo de #XFCE affichait de nouveau les heures de lever et coucher du Soleil ! °0°
Depuis fin août que c’était cassé à cause d’un changement d’API chez leur fournisseur (l’Institut Météorologique de Norvège) et que la ligne associée n’était plus affichée !
Et moi qui venais de noter les heures de coucher de 5 en 5 minutes depuis le site de timeandate.com (pour planifier la bascule des thèmes dans Vivaldi), juste ce week-end… orz
does anyone have a copy of the breeze-snow cursor theme? a compiled package from 2019 is preferable. mine seems to have updated and now its tiny af and looks like crap. the AUR package won't install due to missing files...
breeze-light is not not NOT breeze-snow, the shape is all wrong so i'd like my cursors back its all i've used since 2019 and now hate my desktop because of it >.>
it offers the right level of abstraction & functionality I expect
it's more or less stable so I don't have to get used to different things every couple of months/years
With my latest #NixOS adventure & the Wayland situation, I'm thinking of switching over to #KDE because it has Wayland support and https://github.com/pjones/plasma-manager might actually offer the possibility to fully(?) configure KDE from #HomeManager.
Para usar os PCs públicos nas instalações de onde farei o mestrado, coloquei #Linux em um pendrive. Assim, consigo pelo menos acessar o navegador com segurança, meus arquivos na nuvem etc.
O @PuroOsso me deu a dica de instalar a distro #MiniOS. Ela é baseada no #Debian, tema #XFCE, e salva os arquivos que modificamos enquanto usamos.
Eu estou encantado, customizando aqui as coisas hahaha
Não sou nada sem os ícones do #Papirus, tema #Matcha, cursor #BreezeDark, e janelas do Mac Mojave escuras.
As a #Debian guy I have to say that #Xubuntu really is a neat distro. Very easy to get running, many things included and of course being #Xfce very solid.
Passons le week-end avec un des duos de jumelles parmi les plus adorables qui soient (enfin, surtout la bleue et quand elles étaient enfants, en tout cas) ! :3 @HakenTrigger@Xalofar
Oh, la toute dernière version du Gestionnaire de tâches de #XFCE étend le mode sombre aux graphiques CPU et RAM (et rend à nouveau le compteur de consommation de SWAP lisible dans ce mode !) ! 👍
The only #desktop UI that looks and feels really modern to me, is #Gnome 's. More so than #Macos (its market share is going up lately, as many people have had it with #Windows 11).
The rest of the #Linux DEs are trailing I'm afraid, including #KDE. While KDE is very extensible, it's not a clean design at all: massive right click desktop menu, too many confusing settings, and overall, too demanding of the user.
For underpowered machines, I just install #XFce & #Debian. Works just as well.
Fives is back, only he's traded #Manjaro GNOME for Ultramarine Linux KDE!
Installing #Ultramarine was the simplest and easiest time I've EVER had installing Fedora. All of the proprietary stuff, extra repos, and drivers are already installed, making setup a breeze.
When I first dove into using #Linux full-time, #KDE was my desktop of choice. Now I've come back to a MUCH improved KDE after trying out #Cinnamon, #Xfce, and #GNOME, and I'm excited for #Plasma 6!
