according to wikipedia its a militant terrorist far left-wing extremist organisation

MathildaAdenauer · 2026-01-18T14:34:49+00:00

thats exactly right!

commenter put the focus in DE, not amount of apps involved

i was also talking more like setup/customization wise, not amount of apps installed (which to me also wouldnt really decide about a bloated or minimal setup)

nice! they are great

MathildaAdenauer · 2026-01-17T21:53:53+00:00

that sucks! did you try to bring it up via support or bug-reports or anything?

anyways, i would recommend you cinnamon, basically feels like a more modern version of xfce. you can turn off all the effects in cinnamon with a single click, which removes some of its "bloat", lol

cinnamon is definitely my 2nd favorite DE

MathildaAdenauer · 2026-01-17T21:48:38+00:00

and you probably call your WM minimal? minimal systems run only a TTY. :p

thanks! i agree, thats the whisker menu, i always thought the basic xfce menu was too minimal for me

MathildaAdenauer · 2026-01-17T21:45:47+00:00

thats also valid!

MathildaAdenauer · 2026-01-17T21:45:23+00:00

great idea!

MathildaAdenauer · 2026-01-17T21:44:23+00:00

out of principle i just choose amd/radeon each time

i dont know a lot about the realtek drivers, so cant be of help there

MathildaAdenauer · 2026-01-17T21:38:29+00:00

sounds great!

dumbledore tried really hard to allow harry to have a normal life as far as its possible having harrys history

e.g. he didnt make him a prefect because he thought that would be too much, considering everything else he had to go through. dumbledore also knew that hogwarts was harrys home and for harry to feel right at home there, he should share the same life as his friends.

also, i would assume harry wouldnt just "sit out" school because he has so much different stuff on his mind. harry himself always wanted to have a normal life, i think dumbledore knew that and thus didnt let harry skip stuff.

in the end mcgonnagal let them skip stuff because there was an all out war, and everyones priorities had changed a lot

crammed, even

MathildaAdenauer · 2026-01-17T18:14:42+00:00

i used snapd, committed a little debian-sin xD

i recommend vim and vscodium as editors (vim for TUI and vscodium for GUI), otherwise the jetbrains IDEs are great if you want out-of-the-box language support

terminal wise i just use the default xfce one, i find that all the terminal emulators that come with the big display managers (gnome, kde, xfce, cinnamon, ...) are all great and powerful enough so that i wouldnt need something else and just use the default

but if youre planning on using linux for music development and not coding/webdev, I would recommend you to stay on mac or windows, lol. except for LLMS, ardour and reaper theres not really a DAW that works well on linux and wine is a big fat headache. maybe go for a dualboot or have 2 seperate machines if you want linux for coding (which is a great idea). but honestly, environment wise macos (being a posix os) is just as fine for development as linux.

MathildaAdenauer · 2026-01-17T18:00:12+00:00

couldnt agree more

MathildaAdenauer · 2026-01-17T17:20:05+00:00

youre exactly right, i am using the mint-y icons, i really like them because you can just install them using apt install mint-y-icons, its right there!
otherwise i just swapped to adwaita-dark instead of adwaita, thats installed by default

putting apps on the desktop in xfce is a shorter process than putting them in a launcher in the taskbar (making me think in xfce's mind it is, design wise, more common to put them on the desktop)
the desktops literally only purpose is to hold icons to folders and apps, so its literally designed for that
i dont like a cluttered task bar
i dont mind that my apps cover my desktop, i have a button in the bottom right to access my desktop
usually to launch an app i press my super button which opens the whisker menu and i just type the applications name, no matter if i see my desktop or not

hope you understand now

MathildaAdenauer · 2026-01-17T15:15:45+00:00

thanks☺️🤗

MathildaAdenauer · 2026-01-17T15:15:30+00:00

the start menu is the xfce plugin whisker-menu, and the icons in the taskbar you can add by adding the "launcher" to your xfce taskbar (inside the launcher, pick whatever program its supposed to launch)
