>debian based>XFCE+X11 only>forked mint software store, utils and update manager because mint is going in the wrong direction>better yet just fork the mint utils completely and make it work on debian as a meta package with all the things like usb writer, imager, update manager, driver manager, software store.Why isnt this a thing yet? The year of the linux desktop would be here already if this was it.
awful bait postif you think xfce's internals are good you are ignorant or baiting
>>107486916>mint is going in the wrong directionMint isn't really going in a direction. You're dooming because they added some round corners but they have been behind on features and had more bugs than KDE for over a decade. Also to this day the default behavior of middle-clicking the bottom bar is to close the application. Malware.
>>107486940>Forces ugly blue libadwaita changes on everyone following guhnome instead of just darkening the mint-Y theme with something like #1F1F1F to resemble windows 10 dark theme>Forces cinnamon coded in javascript which is way slower than XFCE like 500-700ms slower in opening apps, forces nemo which is currently the slowest, buggiest and worst file manager on linux that takes 800ms+ to switch a folder directory.>Neglects their XFCE spin even though XFCE is superior in functionality and coded in C, has an easier settings menu thats more intuitive. XFCE opens system apps and the file manager within 30-40ms vs KDE/Cinnamon which is 500ms-700ms.Yes I would say they are heavily going in the wrong direction. Thats why the entire mint utilities needs to be forked and all the branding removed. Thats the only reason why people use mint is the tools, not the bloated garbage cinnamon desktop thats literally slower than windows 10.
>>107486916I'll make the logo.
>>107487017I dont see why it couldnt be done.You could name it something like lite OS.There was zorinOS lite as a "beginner" linux distro but they discontinued their XFCE spin for no reason despite them claiming gnome is faster, its slower and they have the wayland mental illness..
>>107486916you can already do this
>>107487017done. here is the logo.
With valve bullying wayland into submission while becoming more aggressive, we'll get our desired outcome and and it will be even sweeter because the wayland faggots are suffering.
>>107487086How though, I know you can add the mint debian repos maybe to debian 13 but dont you have to install all the mint themes and stuff.Im just talking about a meta package that includes all the mint tools on debian 13's repos without any mint branding included.This would be a good alternative because right now their is no unified suite of apps, like a driver manager, update manager and software store. Its all on mint and thats bad.
>>107486973Bro, just install a different window manager and boot into that, ex: openbox
>>107487177I use mint XFCE but if they discontinue this edition I probably will make my own project and fork all their tools. I want all their tools forked as its own meta package.Archive manager(mint file roller)Update manager(mint update)Software manager(mint install)Image viewer(xviewer)Document scanner(simple scan)Document viewer (xreader)Driver managerTransmissionPrintersLibraryCalendarCelluloidAll these into one package that works on debian systems and is integrated with debian to work like the software manager, driver manager and update manager.
>debian basedAs in uses Debian repos directly or a Debian fork? Shouldn't used the "based" word in cases that use someone's repos directly.
>>107487226Ideally just a meta package that contains all their utilities so you can use it on debian.Not necessarily a whole new distro.
>xfcenot even once
