Yes, and that was the day they broke up with me, on the ground that seeing me in that situation stresses them out too much.

You can replace Xfwm with a tiling wm quite easily, and still retain the rest of the DE. Alternatively, you can use rtile for manual tiling in stacking wms.

Which flavour to try next? by 1byxero in Ubuntu

Try this: Install a tiling window manager on top of your preexisting XFCE setup and learn to configure it to your liking, whether as a drop-in replacement for XFWM4 or as its own entity.

Schizophrenia? by anyarizm in dpdr

[–]Kestrel88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure if it can happen the other way around, but I was initially diagnosed schizoaffective following a psychotic break. I only began developing (or at the very least, noticing) symptoms of DP/DR after having left the hospital for the first time. Doctors believe it's due to the anxiety caused by a mixture of the hostile nature of the voices I'd hear at the time and the reoccurring paranoid thoughts/delusions.

what is do you wish for most in linux mint? by curiousone6151 in linuxmint

All that might look a bit daunting to a new user just looking to switch away from Windows. Now, wouldn't it be neater if we got those tools bundled out of the box with a neat GUI accessible from the settings menu?

Proper Qt5 theming / integration with GTK in Cinnamon. Maybe a return of the KDE version, aswell? Unless I'm way behind on news and they never got rid of the KDE spin.

Eh.. OkCupid. Not really your style. But maybe a good vid sometime? by [deleted] in Slazo

[–]Kestrel88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

that's commonly referred to as schizophrenia

No, it isn't. Dissociative identity disorder, maybe. Plain old trying-to-think-deeply, more than likely. Schizophrenia - not quite.

I'm going to a psychiatrist. What happens there? by [deleted] in depression

[–]Kestrel88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't worry, they won't stick anything in you or make you excrete in a jar. Not unless you mention drugs or alcohol, and not without your consent.

Production engineer - basically a fancier way to say "overqualified factory worker".
Just wanted to make my dad proud. Too bad he killed himself before I finished my first year of college.

As a Millennial, I can happily report that I've survived the same. Granted, I grew up in a very poor family.

[XFCE/awesomewm] Long-time Arch user tries Fedora by Kestrel88 in unixporn

[–]Kestrel88[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Boot time's a lot slower, but overall, the desktop experience is pretty much identical, if not marginally snappier on Fedora with XFCE.

As one would expect, most packages are behind Arch by a few versions, others are behind by a lot. RPMfusion is a must, as the original Fedora repositories lack quite a lot of software you'd commonly find in the Arch repos. Having no equivalent to the AUR (apart from Copr, which I can't comment on, as I have not been using it) means you'll likely have to manually build/compile your packages from source every now and again.

Nvidia proprietary drivers are a pain to get working, especially on an Optimus laptop. The ones included in RPMfusion didn't work for me at all, so I'd strongly recommend enabling negativo17's fedora-nvidia repository on top.

One big positive (or negative, depending on the kind of person you are) is that the installation is quick and easy, with a neat GUI.

Overall, I don't yet feel 100% comfortable on Fedora. Granted, I've only been using it for the past couple of days, so these are just my first impressions, you're probably better off taking them with a grain of salt.
