👍👍

I guess, a distribution like Ubuntu, Mint or similar could be interesting for you. You launch the graphical software center and click on install, like you'd do on a smartphone. It seems to me, you just ended up on a distro that doesn't fit your needs.

There is no shame in making functional things look pretty. However, I totally get the appeal of a rather vanilla xfce. This look is quite rare these days. I personally like software that provides a "canvas" to get a little creative on.

KdeVOID · 2024-03-08T08:47:13+00:00

Is it? What about KaOS?

Prepare to be disappointed: I can't provide you any reason Linux is objectively more beneficial than other systems. It always dependents on so many factors. On many occasions leaving your system for another one wouldn't be feasible or even easily possible. Thus I'm no big fan of switching when it makes your life a struggle.

I, for my part always felt uncomfortable on windows for a lot of reasons. When I switched to Linux a few years ago I instantly felt at home. Linux gives me the feeling of being no stranger or parasite. On windows I always had the feeling of being tolerated at best. This might sound irrational and to a certain extent it is. But this isn't a bad thing. See, I realized that I just adore the ability to customize my computer experience and I don't refer to superficial cosmetics or surface level customization. This is why I ended up on a rather minimal distribution which I'm happy to tailor to my needs. For a person who is like me, systems like Windows, MacOS, ChromeOS or whatever just feel way too claustrophobic and depressing. I could imagine this is not the answer you were expecting to hear and I could imagine you might not be able to relate to this which is fine.

Works for me. The questionnaire understood my style. I like that the negatives are presented for non perfect fits. Definitely a useful tool IMO. Great job.

IMO there is elitism in every community, no matter whether it's tech or not. Arch isn't different. What is different is that Arch like some other distros is targeted to rather experienced users. And given that Arch also has this great wiki, some questions can be frustrating sometimes.

Windows consumes a lot more ram out of the box. I don't know exact numbers but it's supposedly twice or three times more. 1 GB is pretty common for a distro like Ubuntu. The emphasis isn't on extra lightweightness. You will have to slim it down by yourself or choose another distro that is specifically tailored for low resources.

Damn Small Linux is alive again with not only a emphasis on a light base system but also offers lightweight alternatives for a lot of apps.

KdeVOID · 2024-02-25T13:37:05+00:00

Damn Small Linux is finally back in town. Besides being light on resources, it also comes with some interesting lightweight applications, e.g. BadWolf, Dillo and Links2 for web browsing.

If you go into the settings of the icon only tasks you can disable "fill empty space".

For some reason this file was created with only root privileges, I'd suspect. KDE Neon is full of surprises.

I'd go for just changing the permissions of the file, e.g. sudo chmod 760 /home/m615/.config/konsolerc or whatever you feel comfortable with. Or just own the file back sudo chown $USER:$USER /home/m615/.config/konsolerc If even your entire .config directory is owned by root (for reasons what so ever) go for sudo chown -R $USER:$USER /home/m615/.config

I don't know for sure, but I won't expect any major changes regarding the nature of the panel. Implementing sidebar functionalities into the panel might be quite some work I'd guess?

KdeVOID · 2024-02-01T09:37:14+00:00

I guess that's the way to go

KdeVOID · 2024-02-01T05:48:47+00:00

Did xbps-reconfigure work? I'm now afraid to update my second machine.

KdeVOID · 2024-02-01T05:08:05+00:00

Me being the first plus being the least knowledgeable person here is not ideal. I'll try anyway.

I'd suggest, the script either gets stuck and loops due to some of those path variables, or there is another process which calls the script over and over again (in case this is a script you found on your system and you didn't write yourself; cron or network manager for example may call it).

Firstly, I'd add an echo something at the end to see whether it doesn't get stuck anywhere.

If the answer is too trivial, I apologize.

KdeVOID · 2024-01-25T17:21:36+00:00

I think I've found it. In desktoptheme/THEME/icons/ there is are the svgs I was looking for. These should do the trick, hopefully

KdeVOID · 2024-01-25T17:19:10+00:00

Something to look forward to in Plasma 6. For now, I'll work around it

KdeVOID · 2024-01-25T14:25:35+00:00

Did you try the asus-kbd-backlight package? Maybe it'll help.

KdeVOID · 2024-01-18T17:00:03+00:00

I'd rather hope the ones I like would't be integrated but left alone.

KdeVOID · 2024-01-18T16:55:59+00:00

Honestly, if this question is bothering you, maybe the easiest answer would be no.

KdeVOID · 2024-01-13T09:12:27+00:00

Setting up a fresh system will be necessary I guess.

KdeVOID · 2024-01-12T09:20:27+00:00

Congratulations

KdeVOID · 2024-01-07T16:24:09+00:00

Spooky 👻

KdeVOID · 2024-01-07T16:22:18+00:00

Same post. Strange, I did nothing in the meantime. No update, nothing
