I recently started using the openbar extension which adds a lot of color to Gnome with just a few clicks.

I switched to Commit Mono for Terminal not too long ago but I really like it. Otherwise I use Cantarell but only because it is default and I never felt the need to change it.

I only have experience with Gnome out of the two but I haven’t had the urge to switch yet. I like the look of it (I like that it looks different to Windows), the simplicity and the customisation with extensions (only a few and small ones, I recently started using OpenBar for some customization but I could do without). I keep my system rather minimal and I am not looking to put a lot of time into theming or customization.

I also tried Cosmic and I like the tiling aspect of it, but I also don’t feel the need to switch. Maybe once it is released and I can figure out how to install it on Aeon.

If I remember correctly I got them from this collection on archive.org and honestly they are just really nice quality pictures. But probably also a bit of nostalgia. 😄

TIL there’s people thinking about stuff like this. Honestly a wallpaper is just some image that you chose to make your desktop nice to look at to me. I think I even used Windows XP wallpapers on Linux for some time.

Also only very little software comes preinstalled which does not apply to Silverblue for example if I remember correctly.

Why should it be slower?

FOSS gives people the option to take the original code and create their own version of it in case they don’t like what the original maintainers are doing. With closed source you would be stuck and would have to look for something new.

It wasn’t a culture shock but it made something obvious that sometimes gets forgotten. The “Open” just means that one can look at the source code and copy it to make a new version. There is no obligation of the original creators to support things outside of what they want/can do.

That’s what I do too. Automatic updates for everything and if I don’t like the way something develops I look for alternatives. Those changes will most likely not be reverted anyway and I will certainly not keep using an older version of some software forever.

Especially since in this case it was not even the person that was misgendered that called it out. Maybe the original person doesn’t even care.

Bro, so einer wurde auch schon vor über 50 Jahren schon mal in einen Labor Experiment gebaut. Ist also quasi schon voll einsatzfähig 👍

I guess if you want exciting new features you can just switch to a different distro nowadays or add them yourself. Why should distros add more stuff making them bloated or change stuff turning users away that like how things are currently? For general use you really don’t need a lot of fancy new stuff.

Projektion ist ein durchgängiges Motiv für diese Partei. Bei allem was sie anderen vorwerfen kann man so gut wie sicher annehmen, dass sie es selber auch tun.

Wenn es nicht “Leck mich im Arsch 2” ist will ich es nicht hören.

I tried it and liked that they have quite some documentation for how to do things like get to a desktop. However I couldn’t get audio working so I stopped using it, but I am also not really experienced in setting up Desktops so maybe it’s easy.

Please keep us updated about how this is going to work out in the future.

Depends on what you want to do I guess. I’d rather have a clean desktop that cannot accumulate clutter like in windows where applications add shortcuts to the desktop automatically which you then have to remove manually.

I actually really like not having icons on the desktop in gnome. It always ends up a collection of random garbage anyway after some time and Icd rather have that in my home directory. Now i can just press my keyboard shortcut to hide all windows and then I have a clean screen with nothing distracting me.
