GNOME June 2024: C'mon you can do better
  • Ubuntu, RHEL and Fedora use it as the default and they are very big distros. Idk if it's enough but that's what I know.

    I mean, that's pretty irrelevant. If you were for example at least comparing the downloads of fedora Vs spins, that would be a beginning of something.

    Idk. KDE was unstable for me and it always has bugs after major releases. They should test things better.

    1. In case it wasn't obvious: stability is not reliability

    2. So does GNOME, especially when you have a lot of extensions

    3. KDE is pretty crap in both regards

    Personal opinion.

    Is that why every distro comes with vanilla GNOME? Oh wait...

    But hey at least it's getting better over time.

    Meanwhile over the years KDE got lighter than GNOME while constantly piling on features.

    Citation very much needed

    one of the most stable DEs on Linux

    Hardly, but I'm guessing you're thinking of reliability instead. Not really surprising when it's so stripped down that vanilla GNOME is pretty much unusable. When you extend it, in order to get a proper DE, that goes right out the window.

    That fact makes it especially funny that vanilla GNOME is by far the fattest DE around. How it manages to use up more resources than KDE is beyond me.

  • Standard rule
  • It's far more simple than that. The students are predominantly nobles, and they pretty much completely cut all ties to their previous lives.

    So why would you send a hot daughter to become a witch when you can marry her and make political gains? You send the disfigured one so you don't have to waste any more money on her.

    The 5th son doesn't need to be disfigured to be essentially useless in the political world.

  • what OS should I use instead of xubuntu?
  • sysVinit is only the default, it comes with systemd as well.

    The tools are useful no matter the init system, and make life easier, especially for beginners.

    In essence MX is just Debian with tools to make desktop use easier.

  • It's about 300mb lighter than KDE in my experiences. On 2gb of RAM, that makes a difference.

    And both LXDE and LXQT use half as much RAM as Xfce.

    LXDE is gonna be fine too; but it lacks a lot of the polish that XFCE has. I honestly like both for different things.

    I'd rather be able to open more than 5 tabs than have a fancy UI. That's why Xfce is on my newer devices, and I install those 2 whenever someone needs an ancient laptop revived.

  • Just install a few of them, see what works, how much resources they use up, and what allows you to open more than one browser tab. Hell do it in a VM, Arco-B has a wide range of DE's to choose from in the installer.

  • Falling
  • Terminal velocity is the maximum speed attainable by an object as it falls through a fluid (air is the most common example). It is reached when the sum of the drag force (Fd) and the buoyancy is equal to the downward force of gravity (FG) acting on the object. Since the net force on the object is zero, the object has zero acceleration

    Objects in a vacuum have no drag and no terminal velocity...

    (partially solved, will update when completed) Please help with an xfce/powerup bug: black screen after suspend/hibernate

    MX Linux, Xfce 4.18

    Closing the laptop lid suspends the system, opening it resumes it, but the screen is black. I'm guessing it's related to powerup because suspending through the logout menu and systemctl suspend both work as expected. When it's black, switching to a different tty works, as well as C-M-Backspace to logout.

    Same results with both lightdm and sddm, when replacing suspend with hibernate, and I've tried a few solutions like disabling lock on sleep.

    Seems like this issue has been around for years, but had a whole bunch of different causes since every other thread has a different solution.

    XFSETTINGSD_DEBUG=1 xfsettingsd --replace --no-daemon > /tmp/xf.log 2>&1

    ps -ef | grep -E 'screen|lock'

    xfconf-query -c xfce4-power-manager -lv

    dmesg, cleared it before trying to suspend

    updates:

    I'm not seeing a black screen, instead it turns on the display and then turns it off.

    Additionally, I tried closing and opening the lid a few times, and it woke up correctly.

    I tried it in i3wm with the xfce power manager to suspend after closing the lid. It woke up correctly 10 times in a row.

    Solution: start an xrandr config and the monitor turns back on.

    Non-general purpose posts

    This community is:

    > A general purpose programming community for English speakers

    Language specific posts like:

    and ide specific posts like:

    are not general purpose. Posts like that ruined /r/programming for me, and this community seems to be going down the same road. I'm here to read about programming concepts that can be applied to any/most languages, not patch notes for 10 different Js frameworks posted by karma farming bots. If I wanted to read posts like that, I'd have subbed to /c/javascript...

    Do you agree with me that they should be removed from /c/programming, and limited only to their respective communities? Or have I missed the point of this community?
