Ruben ~ Kedara.euI've been using <a href="https://kedara.social/tags/debian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Debian</a> for a couple of weeks now, combined with <a href="https://kedara.social/tags/xfce" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Xfce</a>. It's really quite snappy. Before, I used Fedora with KDE, but the system used to break without warning after updates or installing new packages. So I spent the last few weeks reinstalling everything and restoring my backups 😅 That was probably my fault, but for me, Debian is really living up to its solid reputation. It allows me to focus on stuff that's more interesting to me. So I'm very happy with the switch so far! <a href="https://kedara.social/tags/linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#linux</a>

Callista GravesSo, I love me some <a href="https://turtleisland.social/tags/Linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Linux</a> Have been tinkering with <a href="https://turtleisland.social/tags/Xfce" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Xfce</a> and I think I’ve finally found my ideal setup:The no desktop desktop. With XFCE, when using desktop settings, you can change your desktop to only show the icons of running and minimized applications. So, I’ve tinkered a bit, and have found with no menu bar, no panel (system tray excepted) and no start menu, I simply invoke the XFCE appfinder, and open the app from there. Super sleek, quiet and calm. Screenshots eventually.

Pete Orrall<a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/@stefano" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@stefano</a> This is great news and certainly an improvement to both open source and FreeBSD.While *I* would have preferred <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/xfce" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#xfce</a> over <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/kde" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#kde</a> in the installer (because I am an XFCE user) that's not the point. The point being the FreeBSD team, based on user survey results, is *listening.*To the people who leave comments like "it's too late" or "we already have Linux" then the point has been missed. What's great about <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/opensource" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#opensource</a> is the plethora of choices. With <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/FreeBSD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#FreeBSD</a> 15 offering <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/KDE" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#KDE</a>, it means the quality of choices just improved.

Eugenia LOne more screenshot of the classic MacOS 8/9 theme under XFce. Honestly, from all the themes I've done, this one I enjoy the most. It's rather convincing because it doesn't use docks or launchers that all modern OSes use, so it feels different.<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#linux</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/opensource" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#opensource</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/xfce" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#xfce</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/foss" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#foss</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/mac" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#mac</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/macbook" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#macbook</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/macos" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#macos</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/macintosh" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#macintosh</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/theme" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#theme</a>

Eugenia LMy XFce Win11-like theme under Linux <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Mint" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Mint</a>. The theme has a couple of bugs, but overall it works well.I found that XFce is the most themeable of the DEs, however it has started showing its age. For example, no connection of open apps to their launcher (they open a second icon), no "live" thumbnail of an open app, etc.<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#linux</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/opensource" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#opensource</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/foss" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#foss</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/theme" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#theme</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/xfce" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#xfce</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/win11" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#win11</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/windows" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#windows</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/windows11" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#windows11</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/linuxmint" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#linuxmint</a>
