Konsole 1.6.6 (TDE 14.1.0, so very old-fashioned compared to what now ships with KDE), with the “Transparent, Dark Background” built-in schema and Courier New font (since I’ve been using it as my preferred monospace font for so long that other options are distracting). Title bar and other widgets adopt my dark and weird system theme as they’re supposed to do.
The MX Snapshot utility & other built-in tools make it instantly functional as a daily driver, even for people new to Linux, and the Quick System Info is such a handy baseline for troubleshooting if you run into problems and need help from the community. All the stuff that’s provided out of the box just makes it a really practical distro to learn on!
Debian has had the https://popcon.debian.org/ package for years and years. Users voluntarily install it to report what Debian packages they’re using, what architectures they’re on, and so forth.
On a seperate note, I’ve recently started using GNOME. I like it, but it’s really difficult to find a terminal emulator that matches the theming as far as title bar and window decorations go (Im not a fan of the GNOME console, it’s not as easily customisable as I’d like). They’ve all had white title bars which clash with my dark theming. The only one I’ve found that works nicely is Black Box, which I have been enjoying, but I can’t figure out how to blur the background (maybe I do this through the compositor prefs? I’ve tried setting it in blur my shell but it doesn’t seem to work), so i’d like more suggestions
I’ve tried Kitty and Alacritty, as those are the ones I’ve used in the past, along with Konsole, but that seems sacrilegious so I haven’t tried it with GNOME.
I’ll come back and post pics of my Konsole setup on my main rig in the spirit of the post once I get home :) I use fish and custom theming
Manjaro. I love it’s simplicity and ease of use. It’s the closest I can get to Windows without actually using Windows. I’m glad it makes using an Arch distro easy and accessible. KDE is a godsend as well.
I tried it, looking for something for my wife’s 12 yearold laptop, and really liked how clean it looks and that you have 4 easy click ways to alter the desktop workflow. They are also working on Grid? as a deploy and update system for businesses wanting to manage multiple machines centrally. The only reason I didn’t keep it was the machine it was intended for will not boot a deb based OS. It throws a hardware bug that deb based distros don’t work around during install or reboot. So ended up with NixOS on that machine. Which has been awesome too.
