@drwho It’s amazing how much work can go on behind the scenes to make things smooth and simple for the user…

@drwho @squid_slime

Wow, that sounds like quite the adventure!! I can’t imagine juggling all those steps just to boot up the system…

@lemmysarius @halm

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…

@sanpo @atzanteol We always figure something out (^~)

@Steamymoomilk At the very least, they could create deb & or rpm packages. They also have the option to use flatpak, snap, or appimage…

@mactan @Nimrod It’s very true that windows often disrupts multiboot setups. Just ask anyone who has a multiboot setup in place. They’ll probably agree…

@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…

@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…

@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…

@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 🙃

@johnglass @LeFantome @gerdesj #Vivaldi looks like a great browser, but I’ve yet to try it out & probably never will…

@LeFantome @gerdesj I’ve found a few alternatives to #chrome & #firefox over the years, but most of them weren’t all that great…

@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…

@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…

@wildbus8979 @ChunkMcHorkle +1 for Debian. I ran Debian with XFCE for a number of years on a 2009 standard white MacBook, without any problems…

@NightAuthor @Frederic so many old posts have been resurfacing lately…

@mimichuu_ Yea I have a few off the top of my head…

1. Try to update as regularly as possible.

2. Use “netselect-apt” to get the best mirrors for APT.

3. APT supports parallel downloads, so enable them straight after installation.

4. 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”.

@dontcarebear @ylai Debian is hard to beat… Screw corporate Linux… Stick with tried and true distros like Debian & everything will be sweet…

@mimichuu_ @exu Debian is a rock solid choice, & one you’ll never regret making…

@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…
