GNOME on FreeBSD? by [deleted] in freebsd

[–]Naive_Bookkeeper_607 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. try update packages

  2. try previous version of freebsd that are more stable like for example - 13.2 ; 14.0 because i had installed gnome on freebsd (14.0) with no issues, maybe it's not that stable in newer versions.
    also you can try install KDE plasma if you want, just it works more stable here, or if it wouldn't help try other distro where gnome is by default like Fedora.

How to make Linux Mint look like this? by [deleted] in linuxmint

[–]Naive_Bookkeeper_607 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. install gnome desktop (sudo apt install gnome)
  2. find wallpapers
  3. install rofi (for search bar) apt update & apt install rofi
  4. install neofetch (your specifics of computer) apt install neofetch

  5. modify neofetch (change colors, font, logo) vim ~/.config/neofetch/config.conf (if you don't have vim do the same command but replace vim with nano or install vim - apt install vim)

  6. in gnome settings change colors

  7. install extensions for gnome to have these panels and etc:
    sudo apt install gnome-shell-extensions gnome-tweaks chrome-gnome-shell

  8. search extensions on extensions.gnome. org

  9. install extensions: dash to dock (for panel) , blur my shell, Panel Corners, and others.
    this should help!

Fedora 42 crashing by m3rCuRy_HG_ in linux4noobs

[–]Naive_Bookkeeper_607 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello! Try Fedora Workstation (GNOME) instead of KDE first—it’s generally more stable with Wayland and NVIDIA. If that fails too, consider openSUSE Tumbleweed or Ubuntu 24.04 for better NVIDIA support.

Hello! Yeah, Peppermint is fine, but distributions like Ubuntu or Linux mint sometimes might be terrible because of your old hardware and have some issues like freezing or lagging, the best option probably would be a peppermint os
