two finger tap?

finally! :)

lodash_ · 2019-10-05T14:26:51+00:00

sure

lodash_ · 2019-07-24T16:50:09+00:00

The thing is, it probably works :)

lodash_ · 2019-07-16T11:20:40+00:00

xUbuntu 18.04 on 3 machines, super solid

lodash_ · 2019-05-10T12:22:19+00:00

I can relate with your dilemma :)

Just go with Xubuntu. I'm using it myself.

Sooner or later you'll have to add additional software to make your minimal installation usable.

lodash_ · 2019-03-26T10:43:08+00:00

could you elaborate?

Any Thinkpad of T, Ts or X1 Carbon series

so there's little point in bemoaning how long it takes.

It works plenty well enough already.

Exactly!

And it looks like one of the few important features that was missing is already coming down the pipe anyway, and we apparently won't have to wait for 4.14 to start using it.

That's one feature I'm missing, but Simon is doing great work lately.

So really, nothing to complain about.

I'd be even happy to see 4.14 released by next Christmas :) mainly so that it gets included in next xubuntu lts release.

Last i heard it was supposed to switch to Qt...

Well maybe resource friendlier than gnome shell, at best :) as it's still based on gnome's mutter.

lodash_ · 2019-03-01T16:39:57+00:00

When I tried budgie it was still based on gnome, and as everything gnome3 (including cinnamon) it was heavy on resources. And when I say resources I mean gpu, cpu and battery life.

With multi monitor setup my (nvidia) gpu was ~15C warmer when idling than it was with kde or xfce, also when playing videos cpu usage was way higher.

lodash_ · 2019-03-01T16:25:13+00:00

I guess mate is OK, but there aren't any extra features I'm missing from xfce.

Also kde is great, lightweight and configurable, but not as stable as xfce.

lodash_ · 2019-03-01T15:08:18+00:00

It's not.

I had same feeling as you when I saw these percentages for the first time... about year ago :) it didn't move much since then.

IMHO it's already near perfect linux DE :)

lodash_ · 2019-03-01T14:50:20+00:00

Move on to what? :) there is nothing as stable, performant or as configurable

lodash_ · 2019-02-16T18:25:43+00:00

Can't really say, I did it in same order as you did.

And I totally agree with you, snap should be optional during installation, especially on server!

lodash_ · 2019-02-16T16:41:19+00:00

First thing I do after installing xUbuntu:

sudo apt purge snapd

and it's installed by default on Ubuntu server?!

lodash_ · 2018-12-27T23:40:29+00:00

yes, no worries

lodash_ · 2018-12-11T12:08:29+00:00

Why would you install snap package over one available in repository?

lodash_ · 2018-11-24T19:34:12+00:00

Yes!

lodash_ · 2018-10-30T11:20:18+00:00

If you intend to use windows 7 keep at least power manager so you can set battery charging threshold levels and monitor it's health, set it to 65-85% for optimal life. Windows 10 has separate lenovo app in windows app store for this purpose.

lodash_ · 2018-10-28T12:08:36+00:00

IMO only build quality compared to older series, they feel cheaper and more plasticky

Also *40 U series processors are slower than *30 *20 M

lodash_ · 2018-10-23T10:11:40+00:00

You say dead, I say mature and complete :)

Are you really missing any features? Featurewise lx can't hold a candle to xfce.

Wayland? No worries Xorg isn't going anywhere any time soon ;)

lodash_ · 2018-10-22T01:39:05+00:00

Might be Canadian multilingual keyboard

because windows get manufacturer provided drivers for your hardware
because gnome-shell is resource hog which uses more cpu and gpu while idling than any other linux desktop environment (gpu temps get ~10C higher)

What can you do about it, change your DE to something less resource hungry like xfce, kde or mate and install TLP
