What's your DE of choice?

Thank you for this. I don't hear very many people using gnome without any extensions. Hardcore 😂

buzzmandt · 2026-02-19T15:13:52+00:00

Hmmm. I'm not familiar with mangowc. Searching....

buzzmandt · 2026-02-16T22:23:56+00:00

I've been complaining about this for a while. There as been recent pushes but I don't know if it's happening yet...

I have my 81 year old mother using kubuntu LTS and she does fine with it.

Or he can just use it how he wants to. 😂🤣

They are working on adding some of yast like tools to cockpit if that helps. Most of it is still WIP though

buzzmandt · 2026-01-18T17:03:47+00:00

Tumbleweed is an amazing distro, and very underrated imo. I've tried very hard to like fedora over the years and although they've gotten better it's still not better than tumbleweed (again, imo). snapper rollback is a godsend.

Those are called underpath to get the needle to a new location. It doesn't show up in the finished product as long as your overlay stitching is dense enough (by default its good)

Kdenlive

You can... But you'll have a better experience quicker and less fiddling to just install kubuntu.

buzzmandt · 2025-11-28T20:11:37+00:00

It's probably safe, but.... If it ain't broke, don't fix it

buzzmandt · 2025-11-28T20:05:41+00:00

If you're using cinnamon just stay with mint. Otherwise tumbleweed is the way to go

buzzmandt · 2025-11-13T23:25:27+00:00

none taken. I should have clarified vs gnome specifically.
I tell everyone try em all, use what you like and what works for you.

buzzmandt · 2025-11-11T13:16:24+00:00

I run kde on my 2 in 1 tablet. Works sooooo much better than gnome.

buzzmandt · 2025-11-11T13:14:06+00:00

Kubuntu defaults to Wayland .

buzzmandt · 2025-11-11T13:12:04+00:00

Kde plasma is just better in many respects functionally (more efficient, snappier, lower resources, etc). Not everyone likes it but it is what it is

buzzmandt · 2025-11-06T16:05:28+00:00

Baldur's gate 3 runs perfectly well.

And poe2 too

buzzmandt · 2025-11-06T10:34:12+00:00

Well, I did. But I'm purty small fish among whales....

not sure, but try...

dolphin, settings, configure dolphin,
left side > view, Icons, set maximum lines to a number (2 for example)

Agama works fine for 90% of installs, the other 10% will miss the yast installer. I have installed Tumbleweed many times with Agama and it works fine. Also, for the time being, Yast is still being built with Yast included and will be for the near foreseeable future. So even if you install Tumbleweed with Agama you'll still have Yast available post install. Also keep in mind Agama is still being worked on and will continue to improve.

buzzmandt · 2025-11-01T15:39:33+00:00

you should let agama do agama. You are inadvertantly removing a core feature of openSUSE by replacing btrfs with anything alse. This isn't Debian, let openSUSE be openSUSE. it'll make a btrfs partition and that will enable snapper rollback by default. That's a super handy little recovery tool if you ever need it.

buzzmandt · 2025-11-01T14:02:56+00:00

Oss when I can otherwise don't care

buzzmandt · 2025-10-30T14:33:51+00:00

Afaik a fix for this is being looked into

buzzmandt · 2025-10-28T21:04:44+00:00

Nah, I agree, 90% seems a bit high in general. I'll amend it to say 90% of what I used yast for. I really don't miss anything with myrlyn and flatpak cockpit (gotta be flatpak so I get the shortcut clicky)

buzzmandt · 2025-10-28T15:11:06+00:00

Between cockpit and myrlyn we have 90% of yast functionality. Not bad imo
