Well, a very solid base of very basic function is what I listed plus xinput if you need touchpad tapping, xsct if you need "redshift", feh for image viewing, and if you are one who needs MUH BAR you can install tint2 and Openbox becomes moar of a desktop. I can't recall how to put things on tint2, it's been about a decade since I used it. Oh, xscreensaver, and if you need moar power management, xfce4-power-manager then run xfce4-power-manager-settings. The Debian and Arch wikis for Openbox are breddy gud, plus the official Openbox one.

Well if it isn't something that's too terribly broken given that it still works for me (which is more than I could say trying to get locking working on Mint with Chicago95 and manually fiddling betwen LightDM and SDDM and light locker) then I can live with it for the time being.

X11, contrary to what Redshift or gammastep seem to think.
>Click on the "advanced" tab and the fading options are in the bottom right of the window.
Ah, I remember now. Thanks. I missed that. So it seems the initial delay before fade is separate from the fade effect. Guess I'll keep it on both log out and log in at 1 second since that's something I do enjoy if it doesn't waste time on other DE's such as Cinnamon and what Windows 7 did.

what >>107649692 said
If you don't need the cash right now. sit on it.
the gpu situation will now get better any time soon.
it will get only worse.
the 6090, if it even comes out next year, will be at least $3000 msrp with how expensive 2nm is and ofc gddr7 memory prices.
so a 4090 will be even more worth since the 60 series will be ultra expensive and really rare and the 50 series will not be produced anymore at this point.
so keep it at least until the release of the 60 cards and sell it when there are no old 50 cards and no new 60 cards on the market for max profit.

It won't make a difference. James Jones is still the man in charge and Linux will never have feature parity with windows.
Look at all the time nvidia put into replacing nvcpl on windows because they kept breaking dropdown boxes and couldn't disable one feature automatically upon enabling another, and revert it when turned off.
They went with nvidia app or whatever that garbage is.

There's no way linux will ever get the same treatment unless James Jones keels over.

THIS !!!!
If people once understood this, they will with a little discipline stop using this shit.

The only smartphone i own is an old Galaxy S4. I bought it for 40 bucks from a friend and i have an offline open street maps on it to navigate with it without the need of a SIM-Card or internet connection. Just enable the GPS module and you're good to go.
Too many people are depending on streaming services and Google maps to be working.

I bet my ass, most people would not be able to manage their normal life without all these shitty apps and internet these require.
We can only hope that for some reason at least cell phone internet will blackout for a few month or weeks to get people waking up.

Just got the drive, looked up the S/N and it had a 5 year warranty like a retail unit, so it's not an OEM drive, and it's not factory recertified (or if it is, they gave it the full 5 year original warranty)>

I assume the warranty date (July 16th 2030) corresponds to the date the drive was sold to the reseller on amazon (likely around July 16th 2025).
