Gimp’s mascot is in some kind of hard drugs in that icon

FrostyCaveman ,

Looks like Crash Bandicoot on drugs

lessthanluigi ,

Looks like an analog horror version of GIMP and I love it. It has that early 3D modeling program vibes, while not fully being 32-bit colors just yet.

visika , in What's new in Fuzzel 1.10, a Rofi alternative for Wayland

Nice, I implemented the script to rename the workspace in Sway on my PC! I suggest to also write the option –width 50 to fuzzel, so the text field is large enough to see what you are writing.

i want those icons back

nyan ,

I think that’s the old locolor icon theme. The version I have around is modified for TDE, but the original should exist somewhere out there (if OpenSUSE is still offering KDE3, then they probably have it).

fmstrat , in New release Thunderbird 128 "Nebula"

Looks like it may be time to see if I like Thunderbird over Evolution again. Does it support Exchange sync natively yet?

Cube6392 , (edited )

According to the post, yes not yet

EDIT: I misread

nickiam2 ,

Not yet. It will be integrated in a layer point release

Peak UI

LeFantome ,

I just said this above but this desktop is still available. It is called The Trinity Desktop now.

Now that’s a flashback that works for me

NoisyFlake , in DemoLinux 1.1 for Mandrake 6.1, 1999

Jesus, UI design was terrible back then. I’m not talking about technical limitations, I don’t need fancy transparency effects or something like that, but I’m sure that you could come up with something much better using the old UI libraries as long as you follow modern design principles.

zout ,

That's probably why they're modern design principles, UI's were relatively new in 1999, and most people still knew how to work with the command line.

snake ,

Take that back

thayer ,

It’s probably just familiarity bias, but I really like the classic 3D design elements of the '90s desktops. I was a big fan of the Windows classic shell, NeXTSTEP and Openbox UIs. And even though I think both GNOME and KDE look fantastic today, I would still happily use a CDE-style UI if I could do so consistently.

Felt like a pirate on the high seas! Those were the days…

lurch , in EvilEntity Linux, 2003

If this is Enlightenment DR16 (the best non-tiling window manager ever created), try the BlueSteel theme.

Cyber ,

I tried using Enlightenment years ago - it looked amazing, and then… I found all the bugs, incompatibilities, etc… and it’s lackof progress was disappointing.

I tried Bodhi Linux and even they gave up, creating their own Moksha desktop environment too…

I remember this! I’m French and remember reading Mandrake comics, so when Mandrake Linux came I needed to install it!

MonkderDritte , in Yggdrasil Linux working for once (Fall 1995 edition)

That’s cool and all but there’s no vintage community for that?

Vintage?? I had just started middle school, that was like five years ago...

    merthyr1831 OP ,

    for sure, I thought the hire was weird in the first place. Did just mean that it doesn’t look like GNOME fired her lol.

    She did do some good stuff but GNOME really did get what they asked for

    Old KDE was great. So is new KDE though

    LeFantome ,

    You can still use old KDE. It is called Trinity now. It is a pretty decent desktop if you have an older machine.

    Oh neat thanks

    autotldr Bot , in ARM64 Updates Submitted For The Linux 6.11 Kernel

    This is the best summary I could come up with:

    Due to the ARM64 maintainer for the Linux kernel going on holiday, the ARM64 port updates have been submitted ahead of the opening of the Linux 6.11 merge window that will likely be on Monday or otherwise the following week depending upon if a 6.10-rc8 is warranted.

    When it comes to the ARM64 (AArch64) changes for this next kernel version, there’s been a lot of work on virtual CPU hotplug handling so that it should now be properly working on ARM64 ACPI-enabled systems.

    Another change with Linux 6.11 ARM64 is expanding the speculative SSBS workaround to more CPU cores.

    Arm’s Speculative Store Bypass handling is now being extended for additional affected CPU cores of he A710, A720, X2, X3, X925, N2, and V2.

    There are also ARM64 ACPI updates, GICv3 optimizations, perf updates for more hardware, and other smaller changes.

    See this merge request for all the ARM64 feature patches slated for Linux 6.11.
