KDE - using it with Manjaro now, but also used it on Mint before that.

XFCE, tried cinnamon a couple times it was okay but I just prefer the simplicity and stability of xfce

bbbhltz , in Which are some good RSS feeds for following Linux/FOSS news, articles, blogs?

I would also like to know.

I very often see things being shared from…

  • phoronix
  • itsfoss
  • omgubuntu/omglinux
  • 9to5linux
  • pointiestick
  • the regulars: Slashdot, Lobsters, HN

but other sources would be great!

iamak OP ,

Thanks. HN is hacker news right?

Not a DE but AwesomeWM. I like its default aesthetic and it’s highly extensible using Lua which gives a lot of power to the user.

Xfce, Gnome or just a WM like Sway.

Been a gnome guy for the past ~13 years with a bit of unity thrown in back when it was relevant! I’ve tried to love KDE repeatedly over the years but it’s never quite clicked with me - the customisation is great, but using it just feels kinda wrong personally!

KDE + Latte dock is what I use. Very simple and minimalistic setup with no widgets.

I’ve got used to XFCE.

Kde for the win!

puzzlebox , in Why do we need tiling window managers when we have tmux?

Every once in awhile i think „yeah, let‘s move to a tiling wm“….but i find myself going back to gnome shortly after, because i can‘t get really used to it, although i really like the concept of tiling WMs…who knows, maybe today is a good day to try it again :)

jaykstah ,

Yeah i feel that. It takes a while, once you’re settled in and have done a bit of configuring to make a tiling wm work a specific way then it starts getting harder to go back. I would flip flop between KDE Plasma and either i3 or sway for a long while but eventually my sway config got to a point where I just prefer using it full time as I have to put in more work to make Plasma behave the same way.

That being said i still keep Plasma installed in case i get an itch to just use a DE like that for a bit. Or to check out updates for it.

puzzlebox ,

yeah, i think i just never to got to that point you’re describing (to have such an extended and working config, that the switch back to a DE would be more effort than just keep going).

brunogron ,

You can have both, github.com/pop-os/shell

puzzlebox ,

just installed it and currently in testing. Thanks for the suggestion!

SpookyOperative ,

Hell yea! I’ve used PopOS for a couple years now and it’s pretty fantastic. Being able to enable/disable it on the fly is super great, and you still have all the conveniences of a full DE.

Some people just don’t vibe with tiling WMs and that’s fine. Kind of a reflection of your inner personnality.

I can’t for the life of me not have stacks of things on my desk, and unsurprisingly that’s how I like my windows as well.

another aspect – DistroTube did a 10 minute video explaining workspaces were the killer feature of tiling window managers rather than the tiling itself …

I keep wanting to try out vanillaOS and everytime I liveboot it, I immediately regret my decision. I cannot stand Gnome.
I love KDE, I love it for how versatile, intuitive and customizable it is.
Bot to mention, I rarely experience any bugs. It just works.

fubo , in Fedora Workstation 40 Considering To Implement Privacy-Preserving Telemetry

Debian has had the opt-in popularity-contest package for years and years.

eroc1990 , in Fedora Workstation 40 Considering To Implement Privacy-Preserving Telemetry

Shouldn’t be a problem if users are promoted, and it’s an option in system, not opt out.

atmur , in Fedora Workstation 40 Considering To Implement Privacy-Preserving Telemetry

Users will have the option to disable data upload before any data is sent for the first time. Our service will be operated by Fedora on Fedora infrastructure, and will not depend on Google Analytics or any other controversial third-party services. And in contrast to proprietary software operating systems, you can redirect the data collection to your own private metrics server instead of Fedora’s to see precisely what data is being collected from you, because the server components are open source too.

To be fair, if they want to collect telemetry data, this is probably the best way to do it.

Seems similar to Ubuntu data collection 🤔

atmur , in Share Your Favorite Linux Distros and Why You Love Them

Fedora Workstation on desktop, perfect mix of stability and up-to-date packages.

Unraid on the NAS, does pretty much everything I need and haven’t put any thought into using something else.

Ubuntu Server on a few VMs, although I’ll probably look into different options in the future as I’m not a huge fan of Ubuntu.

Arch/SteamOS on Steam Deck, of course.

Debian for anything that I just need to run forever.
