The balance of bloat. What are some features you need no matter how much ram it uses?

>>101212612Why aren't you running Linux for real? Why are you kneecapping it with a basic bitch nuc n100 you got for $20 off of aliexpress? Install it on your real PC and stop being a nigger.
>>101212627>gnome
>>101212666Why not? I like it, it's comfy, it just works. I don't need more. You might. There's other desktops out there.
>>101212627Gnome is pretty heavy. It's nice too look at but it is pretty slow on older hardware. But Debian + gnome is peak getting shit done. And if you have a single monitor it is just great with it's workspaces>>101212665Already have. I got the n100 because I must consuuume!
>>101212711Works very well using Wayland. It's only slow if you're trying to use xorg. I mean yes it's a bit ram heavy but it's not slow if you're using it properly. Though it does need a bit of cruft cutting. Gnome is only shit on Nvidia. I switched to a Radeon 7800xt and I'm fine. Gnome just works now.
>>101212730>gt630-650Can you still play tf2 with that hw?
>>101212612explain to me why i would post my personal desktop for you losers to gawk at?
>>101212806I don't even know what tf2 is.
>>101212811It can't be that BAD, there has been some rancid desktops posted on /g/ and and if it's that bad /g/ wants to see it most likely. So I say post it anyways.

Lust provoking gif wallpaper.
>>101213000yes please
>>101212612just installed. testing it out bc about to dump windows on my daily driver. (gonna keep a "gaming server" for my games and stream em via steam to the daily driver.)fuck M$bloatware. but unfortunately not everything works in *nix.
>>101213016KDE is perfect for windows refugees. Imo Arch/EndeavourOS + KDE is peak modern linux.Also, Make sure to try out the the 555 nvidia drivers btw.
>>101213088i was just about getting that done.i had my paint station pc (where i put together and paint 40k / 30k warhammer stuff and i used my steamdeck there. i tried a few distros on my laptop that were similar but i went to arch instead. hopefully in the end i'll only ever have 1 windows machine and that is for the software i can't run or is not stable and just using the network to stream them.
>>101212612just installed too, it's Debian + Cinnamon, runs fine on this old Sony Vaio.It works fine for getting shit done
>>101213132I'm surprised you didn't go the openbox or jwm route. But hey, if it works well enough then that's all that matters.
>>101213125Nvidia 555 plus wayland is a huge night and day difference. I can't reccomend it enough desu. But yeah, having one windows machine around as backup is always a good idea when starting out. I usually switch to just using VirtualBox.
>>101213162I was supposed to give it to someone else after I installed linux on it, but they actually said they'd rather buy a new laptop and left this to me
>>101212971Thank you very much, anon.
>>101212806Dude, I play tf2 with Intel Integrated Graphics, so I don't think that's a problem
>>101213200looks like i'm set up. going to check up see if i need to do anything special due to laptop and graphics switching.
>>101213220Well you got another devie to mess around with linux so I guess that's a plus.
>>101213277I think he's just gonna get another windows computer, but, like you said, I showed him that linux can give new life to old computers
I like transparency, maybe I went to far with it by making the slit transparent.
>>101213330Well hopefully he is now aware of Linux and it's potential to revive older hardware.
>>101213400What does fluxbox offer over openbox or jwm?
>>101213567tabs and fluxbox options for themes are more exetensive then that of openbox. Also I like the fact that unlike openbox I don't need to install a dock to not lose all my programs. Also its shortcuts are pretty handy

>>101212929>>101212971I can't wait for Linux Mint 22, bros.>>101213088>Arch+KDEI literally just hopped off that after spending all weekend tweaking.Plasma 6.1.1 is quite nice, but there are so many bugs waiting just below the surface. For example, there are KDE panel rendering issues at 175% scaling with Chromium.And Arch has many strengths, but there is so much configuration and guesswork involved. You never know if it's a legitimate bug, a bad config, or if you are just missing some software. For example, trying to translate PulseAudio sound quality fixes to PipeWire. Or instaling Cinnamon and realising that it is an incompete setup (e.g. a lot of bits are missing and in AUR). And auditing AUR PKGBUILDs gets tiresome.Right now I just want a curated desktop. Mint isn't perfect, but it has some very nice polish and is way less work.
>>101214882arch logo is bloat
>>101215414I switched from Arch to Debian and I'm glad I did. I don't use kde plasma. Cinnamon is honestly great for me.
>>101215481I am glad Debian and Ubuntu exist ;)You're running Cinnamon on Bookworm or Sid? How is it compared to Mint?
i don't get it did debian and ubuntu drop apt? make it good?
>>101215585Bookworm on my main PC and sid on my testbench. Stable. I was having a few issues on Mint due to the Ubuntu kernel. I know lmde exists but I don't care. This was just easier for me. I don't know what bullshit Canonical did to the Linux kernel but it was taking up like 2.7gb of ram and it got unstable after about 2 weeks of usage. Switched around to Arch and that was not fun. Ended up installing Debian out of sheer need to have a working PC back in April and it's been solid ever since.
>>101215633So much this. It's funny I was having so many issues using Arch and people were "trolling" me by telling me to "just use Debian" "filtered" "skill issue" "just use Debian"... I mean if you're happy using Arch constantly having to babysit the keyring issue that happens twice a month, and they still haven't figured out how to fix since 2019, have fun on Arch. It's surprising as fuck to me that they haven't programmed pacman to check the servers and keep the keyring up to date in 5 goddamn years. I switched to Debian 12.2 and haven't had a single hiccup since. I'm happily using XFCE.

It's insane how much people spend ricing just to have an ugly rice. Every single one sucks, and the ones that suck the least just have nice wallpapers.
>>101217615This. It's why I stopped and just use gnome. I don't care about any of the features of desktops. I just want my computer to work smoothly every time I power it on until I turn it off. I watch movies and play a few light games while answering emails. I work coding from home. Absolutely nothing people do ricing makes a lick of difference. >I spent 209 hours to save 2 mouse clicks

>>101219971>>101220134The amount of cases of regular cis sick old men following women into bathrooms to assault them far dwarfs the amount of trans people using their access to a new bathroom to assault people. The cases for the latter can be counted on one hand and are punished exactly the same way as anyone else doing it.I used to hold your viewpoints and I got a lot happier when I just stopped giving a fuck about this shit and made friends with people I otherwise pushed out for retarded reasons. This whole "degeneracy" standpoint is braindead and pushed by people who diddle kids and watch trans porn anyway.

>>101217615it's because desktop ricing is stagnant. oh wow cool you've themed your gui programs, you've got a nice color scheme for your terminal, and you've made your de/wm not a mess. how original, it's definitely not basically the same as every other desktop. basically the only difference is do you use a tiling window manager or notcompare that to phone homescreens. sure, you have your equivalent to the default rice where people have a simple one color background plus anime image, either minimal icons or text on the bottom for opening programs, and information like time and battery on the top. but you also have a huge variety of genuinely unique looks thanks to how versatile kustom isI don't see any desktops that mimic the way computers look in eva, or a persona ui, or the 360 dashboard

>>101222094You want me to put in the work that bad when EndeavourOS+KDE works just fine (but is ugly)
>>101222072It's really not that hard, mostly about getting the color scheme right and copying someones polybar
>>101222072I've got it done during vacation but it didn't take that long. I've used someone else's Waybar config as template but it ended up completely different from the "original". Also Hyprland is really easy to configure and get thing done and the same can be said about Nix. It might be intimidating for a novice but it's not that hard to learn nor time consuming.
>>101222108I couldn't figure out how to make that work with alacritty (if it's even possible) so I gave up and left the gnome terminal installed on my system lol.

>>101212612KDE may be very bloated in terms of features, but I find many of the features extremely useful and difficult to replicate (at least, with the same level of integration and functionality) on other desktops. KDE Connect alone is absurdly useful, and it integrates better with KDE than anything else. It's the only desktop with a reasonable filepicker, and arguably the Linux best file manager (I think Dolphin has the best implementation of a preview pane and a pretty good tree-view implementation). Krunner might not be as easily extensible, but I find it far more powerful OOTB than other application runners (dmenu, rofi, etc.), with features that are not quite as easy to replicate (like the browser integration that allows you to jump to tabs). There's some other niceties I like, like the media controls on the lock screen and taskbar icons, or the ability to highlight terminal output in Konsole and search directly for it with user-defined search engines.
>>101224170Looks slick. I had to bail on Bookworm+KDE because it would not connect to my Bluetooth headphones.After a long weekend of distrohopping, hopefully I have found a home on Sid.
