@Yoru Windows is NOT Unix, so this does NOT count....

Just a partially deaf guy who loves God, coffee, ice hockey, Linux, open source software, music, and creative writing.... ^~^°
@mfat I don't have snap or flatpak installed in any of my systems, therefore my entire system is still all upgraded with a single command....
@pukeko that was a fun read 🫠 strange behaviour.. Was gonna say about a dirty keyboard, but it's clearly more than that. Hope you get sorted friend 🙃
@sanpo @atzanteol We always figure something out (^~^)
@wildbus8979 @ChunkMcHorkle +1 for Debian. I ran Debian with XFCE for a number of years on a 2009 standard white MacBook, without any problems....
@XPost3000 @Lemmchen personally I think that XFCE, mate & pantheon are equally just as good as KDE....
@fraenki @rcmaehl If you are a KDE user, these two are likely the closest option available to meet your needs....
@Otherwise_Direction7 @ccunix Yes Kodi is indeed a medic center, but you could launch it directly though a custom xsession, without the need for a de or wm. See the paste link below....
@Molecular0079 @AgreeableLandscape The algorithm for Lemmy is totally botched in some ways....
@mimichuu_ @exu Debian is a rock solid choice, & one you'll never regret making....
@test626 Debian is rock solid & I cannot recommend it enough. There's a ton of options that'll suit almost any computer spec. Go install it & see for yourself....
@antihero I use ffmpeg to extract frames from images. Yt-dlp to download youtube videos. Rmlint, to remove duplicates. Gallery-dl to sometimes download from sites like instagram or twitter & finally mpd / ncmpcpp to listen to music....
@TerryTPlatypus I've been an #xfce user my whole Linux journey, and ompared to xfce it's missing some features that I regularly use on xfce. It also uses way more resources & requires some extensions to better it for daily use....
@NightAuthor @Frederic so many old posts have been resurfacing lately....
@wer2 @Chewy7324 exactly the same here. I too daily drive XFCE, never really change my setup, and don't require anything special that wayland offers. My setup just works for the most part....
@Reva WindowLab is something I wanted to try back when I originally found it. I never actually did, but if it still works, I maybe still could....
@jackpot For me personally, I've found that XFCE on Arch runs faster & uses less resources compared to XFCE running on mint, Debian, or Ubuntu. Debian will always be my No.1 fav Linux distro, but for now I'm on Arch, even if I'm not really using the aur for anything other than nvidia drivers. Arch probably won't be permanent, but for now I'm loving it, & switching back to Debian will eventually happen. Just not yet....
@cyclohexane @Lolors17 Gentoo can be fast if you configure it correctly. I've seen it done in the past....
@RandomLegend Yea I read it all wrong haha....
@fugepe XFCE is the best in my opinion. It's lightweight, full customizable & easy to set up....
@LeFantome @gerdesj I've found a few alternatives to #chrome & #firefox over the years, but most of them weren't all that great....
@johnglass @LeFantome @gerdesj #Vivaldi looks like a great browser, but I've yet to try it out & probably never will....
@drwho It's amazing how much work can go on behind the scenes to make things smooth and simple for the user....
@mimichuu_ Yea I have a few off the top of my head....
-
Try to update as regularly as possible.
-
Use "netselect-apt" to get the best mirrors for APT.
-
APT supports parallel downloads, so enable them straight after installation.
-
APT caches downloaded packages by default, which can consume disk space over time. Make sure to clean it every once in a while with "sudo apt-get clean".
@sugar_in_your_tea fair enough & I suppose you could just go to a repair shop if not....
@senslayer As a longtime XFCE user, I've mainly used xflock4. I've tried others over time, but xflock4 is the one that I've used the most....
@sugar_in_your_tea Same here.. Until now, I've pretty much used each phone until the batteries died or the phones stopped receiving updates. My current phone, "OnePlus 9 Pro," is different, though, because I'm considering replacing the battery when it goes and using the phone long after updates have stopped. Having no security updates doesn't really bother me because I don't actually use my phone all that much, and whenever I do, I'm pretty careful anyway.
@Raphael I personally recommend Debian. Never had any shit from Debian, and with the recent release of Debian 12, it's now better than ever. Now's actually the perfect time to switch to Debian....
@Steamymoomilk At the very least, they could create deb & or rpm packages. They also have the option to use flatpak, snap, or appimage....
@Chewy7324 @wer2 I'll happily use wayland once XFCE officially releases support. I'm sure there may be a few kinks to work out or whatever with the initial release, but that's to be expected....
After doing a few Google searches, I found that non-destructive editing is not fully implemented in GIMP 3.0, but that it is something that some of the developers are hoping to work towards over the next few years. GIMP 3.0 appears to primarily focus on moving to GTK+3....
Wow, that sounds like quite the adventure!! I can’t imagine juggling all those steps just to boot up the system....
@sugar_in_your_tea @okamiueru 7 years of updates is great, but will the phone's battery last for 7 years, though?
@Swedneck @breadsmasher It's wild how most modern laptops are a nightmare for repairs. Framework, feels like a breath of fresh air. Being able to buy it as a kit and put it together yourself is just so cool !! It shows that making things easy to maintain is not only possibe, but it's not even that difficult....
@dontcarebear @ylai Debian is hard to beat.. Screw corporate Linux.. Stick with tried and true distros like Debian & everything will be sweet....
